“Unless we all wake up from this collective tariffs nightmare, the reality is recession. Recession with inflation, which is called stagflation. It’s the worst kind of recession because people lose their jobs and prices stay high along with interest rates.”

Opinion | Something worse could be coming for the economy than a recession
Trump’s tariffs are making stagflation a real risk for the United States for the first time since the 1970s.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

I fear some of you are still not quite understanding that the purpose of DOGE is not actually to make the federal government more efficient, it's to privatize what they can make money off of and then dismantle the rest.
