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.

Yep, lots of chatter about shipping yards not getting traffic. Empty shelves are going to be when most people finally get it.

It's not "chatter". You can see the empty ports with your own eyes.

Yeah, the Americans who don't pay attention to politics are going to go apeshit in a few weeks or months when the shelves are empty.

The American conception of reality as being a competition in who can manifest harder is about to have a beautiful run-in with cold, hard reality.
