Another jobs report, another round of revisions that prove things were worse than we thought. Only 22,000 jobs added and a higher unemployment rate, not a great sign. It seems like the only place hiring is still happening is healthcare. Time to go all in on bonds.

- Everything becomes even more expensive
- People stop being able to afford things, by which I mean anything and everything

Good news everyone! Trump announces new 25% tariffs on Japan and Korea.

Trump threatening 70% tariffs on some countries ... again (?)
At this point I have literally lost track of how many threats/negotiations/threats Trump has made with his tariff policies.
New data shows US economy shrunk at a faster rate than previously thought during the past quarter - almost certainly due to Trump's ongoing tariff "negotiations". Reports also show that unemployed Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to find employment.

Because mothers who are already struggling to make ends meet definitely need to be paying more for basic necessities.
Oh no, now the mango man is saying it's "VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH" in trade negotiations with China.
Like yeah, who would have thought that the type of deal that takes months or even years might take months or even years to iron out.
If I were Chinese leadership I'd just hang up the phone at this point and wait out the next 3 1/2 years for the next guy.

Anyone else feel that peculiar emptiness when the casino is closed?
Down over 600 points today; Treasury yields still going higher and higher.
Absolutely incredible what the current administration is doing to the country. Not a care in the world about the real people.
Still don't think the tariffs have been priced in yet. By that I mean to either retail products or to stock valuations. That 30% bump is going to be paid by somebody, and by somebody, I mean everybody.
Just wait for the GOP spending bill to pass. Lot's of good news still to come!
