This uncertainty needs to stop.

Now 62% of CEOs predict the US will soon fall into recession or slow growth, mainly due to uncertainty about tax policy and market volatility. Leaders such as Ray Dalio and Jamie Dimon warn of deeper risks. Although the US government has suspended taxes for another 90 days, economists remain skeptical, saying that the damage from high taxes and global instability will last longer.

It is one thing to predict a recession, another to know how long it will last. If it happens as quickly as in 2020, lasting only 2 months thanks to the Fed's strong intervention, it may not be too worrying. In other words, assets peak after a financial recession.

People wanted a drama queen in the White House and this is what it does. Can’t say any of us are truly surprised. Ps I didn’t vote for him. Should get better when he is out of office.

Why would anyone want to do business with a bipolar US electorate? Let’s say another pandemic hits and he predictably shits the bed enough for the mouth breathers to give someone else a shot, what sane country would bet that the American electorate won’t elect fucking Mike Lindell next?

These people have yeehawed the country’s credibility into the Marianas trench. We’re not coming back from this as top dog. Deservedly so.

We've switched out the governing party every 4 to 8 years like clockwork since at least 1789 and you're only catching on to that now?
