I’ve figured out that I basically want to be the Nicole Kidman of speculative fiction. Staying busy, expanding my repertoire and skill sets, trying new things, and supporting others in their endeavors to do so as well.

That notoriously woke institution known as the Federal Reserve is calling out the White House for sabotaging the economy. Read the highlights!
peark.es George Pearkes @peark.es · Apr 1
There are pages and pages of this stuff. Hard to overstate how badly the White House is torching potential for economic activity rn.
www.dallasfed.org/research/sur...
Professional, scientific and technical services Erratic behavior by the current administration makes us increasingly uncertain about the economy and our business. Our business specializes in shopping malls, so if consumer spending dips, our business will suffer. If the price of building materials or tariffs for commercial real estate developers skyrocket, our business will suffer. Our company relies heavily on specialized subcontractors. The market for these resources had been tight throughout 2023 and the first half of 2024; however, it continues to soften, and many of these resources are communicating availability for the second half of this year. That makes us believe that broader demand for their services from our competitors is weakening. There is a lot of speculation regarding government regulations changing in many sectors as well as uncertainty being shared by clients due to this and cuts to the federal agencies. The increase in our uncertainty is based entirely upon the inconsistent and unclear policies of the current administration. The on-again-off-again tariffs, especially with regards to steel and aluminum, and inconsistent and probably unconstitutional immigration and deportation actions have pushed the markets into correction territory. Our business, which is the design of buildings, stands to be impacted by steel and aluminum tariffs and by immigration policy, since the construction industry workforce relies significantly on immigrant labor. Developers will not invest when faced with significant but uncertain increases in building materials and labor costs. They will hold off until costs stabilize in order to maximize their profit potential. Radical and erratic changes in U.S. government policies, budgets and funding priorities are creating uncertainty and havoc among government and industry clients. Energy clients are more optimistic, inflation worries have declined somewhat, but still there are concerns over the potential impact of tariffs on the e… While we are somewhat optimistic for future revenue, it is not linked to our current base of contracts. Per the presidential executive orders, most civilian government agencies have suspended contract award and renewals. We have had one order canceled and renewal delays from the Centers for Disease Control. One watch item is executive order on February 26, 2025, which requires agencies to review existing contracts and grants, with directives to terminate or modify them to reduce spending. The implications from the loss of federal contracts for small business suppliers and small business technical service firms are still unknown. We anticipate loss of high-end technical talent. The executive order on March 20, 2025 mandates the consolidation of procurement for common goods and services under the General Services Administration, which is not a new idea. However, under the current environment without a clearly defined plan, this will not be an easy transition. We are beginning to hear anecdotally of a slowdown in transactions, particularly bank lending. Until our current administration stops sending mixed messages, transactions in the real estate market will remain sluggish. This, coupled with developers and purchasers having a difficult time pricing real estate transactions due in part to the tariffs being imposed, has caused companies to take a pause. Our clients are, for the most part, cautiously optimistic, and we reflect that optimism. Tariffs are having an impact already. The uncertainty generated by the current administration has created a future that has absolutely no predictability or stability. We see a mixed picture in Texas. In 2024, our firm touched probably $12.5 billion worth of infrastructure projects, from land development to LNG facilities to skyscrapers. We are the engineer of record for the geotechnical scopes for most mega projects coming online in 2025. Many of the data centers are in our scope, mega factories, and we are at nearly every single LN… Interest rates not being lowered and the uncertainty of tariffs are definitely impacting our business. The uncertainty of how the new trade directives will affect the economy makes it hard to forecast the business environment. Real estate markets are not recovering as we expected, and mortgage lending is still slow. Pending and potential tariffs are not affecting our customers at this time, at least in the aerospace end of our business. However, this could change any time. The current style of government is causing tons of distress for our clients. We would all prefer that the negotiations went on behind closed doors as opposed to us seeing the back-and-forth in real time. Personal and laundry services We have general concern about the economy and the first quarter GDP. Accommodation These last few months have been a lot about uncertainty, from the tariffs to rising unemployment due to layoffs. People are not sure of what the next change will be, and that is reflecting in everyone starting to hold back unnecessary spending. It may eventually be OK, but gaining certainty on what to expect is a necessity. The uncertain economic conditions are starting to impact leisure travel and group bookings for future dates. Management of companies and enterprises Growth has not materialized as anticipated during the first quarter of 2025. Educational services Federal and state policy changes are impacting us significantly. The threat of inflation due to tariffs and market uncertainty will hurt our bottom line. Concerns about immigration and federal funding cuts are impacting our workforce and our clients. Religious, grantmaking, civic, professional and similar organizations What to say? Trade wars hurt everyone, starting with us. Rental and leasing services Obviously, the lack of consistent direction regarding tariffs is causing us all sorts of unknowns that then result in price increases from our suppliers as they fear tariff impacts and they are all trying to anticipate the impact on their business. The uncertainty regarding trade policy is greatly impacting our industry and our business. Government could really do a better job of signaling clearly what their intentions are and then sticking to them. Specialty trade contractors We see spending falling in our sector. People are nervous about tariffs. Air transportation We absolutely see a softening in the economy and in consumer demand in particular. If it persists, we will adjust. Pipeline transportation We see tariff uncertainty, both in energy (Canada and Mexico) and in the broader supply chain, steel, pipe, transformers. Warehousing and storage Tariffs are creating considerable uncertainty across a variety of fronts. The potential surcharge on Chinese-made ships will be a devastating hit to Texas ports and likely the Texas economy in general. Finally, all of South Texas is in a horrific drought that could lead to industry cutbacks by the fall. All in all, it’s a pretty pessimistic time right now. Publishing industries (except internet) Continued uncertainty around tariffs, combined with an interest rate environment that remains tight, continues to generate uncertainty across our client base and within our company. This has effectively frozen spending and forward investment decisions throughout our industry, muting growth opportunities. The main issue remains uncertainty affecting companies’ budgets and ability to spend as was planned. We're worried about our European customers who may decide to stop doing business with American companies. Data processing, hosting and related services Purchasing budgets of prospects and current customers are still tight in the marketplace. Hopefully, the decreasing regulations will improve confidence i…

Health and Human Services firing 10,000 employees and gutting many FDA departments will not make America healthier. It will make America sicker and more at risk of another pandemic. Even fee-based employees (employees that cost taxpayer nothing) have been laid off, resulting in zero savings.

Finally got a new Substack out talking about the difference between “simping” and genuine positive regard in interpersonal authoritarianism, a journey that goes to some wild places including “gynocentric Catholicism”.

To be kind is to believe in others when they forget to believe in themselves. Every act of kindness plants a seed of courage for someone else.

As mum says "this is not my shame"

That recoil when we try to frankly discuss topics? That's your shame, we need to better educate and implement supports, reimplement screening and intakes. The shadow of the bones of a once mammoth scale system remain
Shame is the lie someone told you about yourself

Late at night, deep in thought, with the transition of closing an old year to welcoming a new year.
From love and care to hopes and dreams, what we put into the world brings forth light and softness that allows good moments to shine and thrive.
#HappyNewYear and may 2025 be as kind as possible.

Crescent City jazz king Kermit Ruffins turns 60 today. This song was a hit for Fats Waller years ago, but this brassy version shines like it's brand new.
