Not sure what to make of the US consumer. Plenty of indications that he/she is overextended. Foreclosures rising, auto loans defaulting, many getting by on credit only. Yet they are still spending on things like cruises. Older consumers also benefiting from the record stock market.

Once had 50 employees. After the audit, now has 16. But the question is, will she be able to replace all of those lost?

I expect 4% next year.

I thought foreign countries were paying for the tariffs?

Good.

Aren't they like pilots though? They drive tour groups over. Drive around the country for a week and drive back. Adds up to more than 90 days a year.

What good is the television show if no one has it on their TV? If they all stand together, Hegseth will back down.

Not a good sign. The number in default on their auto loans also is at 17 year highs.

This is going to be news to the farmers.

I guess the latest "discussions" aren't going to well with China.

Joey Politano🏳️‍🌈 @josephpolitano.bsky.social · 18h

lol? As if Americans are drowning in Chinese cooking oil or there aren’t already 30% tariffs on them

A tweet from Trump that reads “I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.”

Important to read this great investigation.

paris martineau @paris.nyc · 21h

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Yep. What is this obsession about and why now?

Tracey Ryniec @traceyryniec.bsky.social · 18h

Why?

Not this stupidity again. Medicaid is insurance for the poor. You can be young and able-bodied and still need to be on it.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 23h

Mike Johnson says Medicaid is "intended for vulnerable populations, the elderly, disabled, and young pregnant women, and not young able-bodied men without dependents who are playing video games."

In the last gold cycle, this was also popular. Lol.

Jesse Felder @jessefelder.bsky.social · 1d

‘Across the country, a modern-day gold rush is under way. People on social media brandish gold-flecked pans and nuggets while showing off their equipment. The dream of stumbling on a motherlode might be far-fetched, but with $4,000 gold, it’s a tantalizing one.‘ www.wsj.com/lifestyle/go...

Consumers aren't giving up their cruises. Booking on a strong pace for 2026 and 2027. Had another record quarter. Cruises are a value compared to other travel. Bull of the Day: Carnival #CCL www.zacks.com/commentary/2...

I saw it in the theater for the 60th anniversary. Even just seeing it on the big screen was an experience.

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you did it.

Tracey Ryniec @traceyryniec.bsky.social · 2d

Given what we saw in Paradise, a 10 year time frame isn't unrealistic. I'm sorry for all the locals. It's going to be a LONG recovery. Ugh.
