Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

We have very short memories, due in no small part to the "flood the zone" strategy now employed by the Trump Administration.

Some market watchers are looking at the tariff/trade war impact and comparing it to what happened during COVID in 2020. But other indicators are recalling 2008 and the financial crisis. Consider: 1) Based on Fitch Ratings data, almost 6.6% of subprime auto borrowers (people with poor credit scores)

Gold futures soaring tonight (means investors are looking for safety) AND there is another bond selloff AND Asian markets are down.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

Laura Ingraham minutes ago touting how Trump was "way ahead" of the markets. Her Fox News colleague Charles Gasparino 4 hours earlier: "I want to tell you right now that Donald Trump outsmarted the world. Trust me, I’m an American. I support my president—but that’s not really what happened here."

I was the executive producer of the morning show at Fox Business (back when they did business news) the days of the 2008 financial crisis. That was bad. The last two days are far worse. 2008 was a confluence of financial machinations (and greed). The last 2 days a psychologist is needed to explain

I feel bad for the people of Vietnam, who since 2017 worked hard to develop legitimate, alternative supply chains for the US, trained their low-income workers how to sew, and shored up their infrastructure and ports. The tariffs are a gut punch. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
