The Trump Economy

Nobody’s Buying Homes, Nobody’s Switching Jobs—and America’s Mobility Is Stalling
The paralysis has left many people in houses that are too small, in jobs they don’t love or shackled with ‘golden handcuffs.’ For everyone, there are economic consequences.

99% of legitimate economists tell us Donny’s economic advisors are morons. Keep this up, Donny, and the midterms will be brutal.

The 50% tariff imposed by Trump on India because the Modi government is continuing to buy oil from Russia is getting to be interesting. According to reports, India is buying a third of Russian oil exports presumably at below market rates and chances they are paying in USD which Russia desperately needs. I just don't see an amicable ending to this since Indi is more dependent on China and Russia for their imports than the US, but the 50% tariffs can also seriously impact their exports mostly impacting the low wage sector like carpets and textiles.
