A bit of a house of cards with 2 scenarios that could play out:
1) productivity does NOT rise dramatically, the market eventually crashes
2) productivity rises dramatically, companies shed employees and the big caps benefit…. But unemployment rises? big caps get bigger / have nots have even less.

ah shit, I had swapped lambda and coreweave around to make the diagram more sane and forgot to move the super micro funding arrow from coreweave to lambda. fixed

Looking like he turned a perfectly good economy into a stagflationary one.... i rarely blame/credit presidents for the state of the economy, but in this case, it's pretty clear it's policy blunders.

If you’re a CEO and don’t want a certain tariff, all you gotta do is make some bullshit televised announcement with the president about all the investments you’re gonna allegedly make in the US. The more fanfare the better. 3 yrs goes by quick.

We can’t improve our crumbling infrastructure to stop things like the subway from flooding, but hey, at least corporations are obsessively trying to capitalize on AI. 🐍🍽️

Yup.
I find myself wondering what the actual appetite is among R’s for fiscal expansion. There’s only so much cutting of programs you can do before people turn on you. Kinda feels like we’re close to peak deficit and with high yields, I’m skeptical of anything happening beyond extending the TCJA.

He said no new tariffs for 90 days, but now that he has folded he has signaled he will fold again and again. Free trade will prevail! DBCFT/VAT incoming.

Trump announces his tariffs, which are (somehow?) related to the trade barriers other countries are imposing on the U.S.
But...
THE NUMBERS HE'S PRESENTING BEAR NO RELATION TO REALITY.
It would be absurd to call these reciprocal tariffs. They're grievances.

Watching this car crash of a tariff announcement. We truly elected a used car salesman for prez. Made up nonsense. “I’m doing you a favor here [insert country], I can’t go that low, I’d be paying YOU to buy the car…”
