Short-term pain for long-term pain. The Federal Reserve's FOMC just revised down growth projections.
They now thinks we will be 0.7% poorer in 2027 than they thought in December; only difference being that everyone is realizing what Donald Trump is actually doing to the economy.

This is insane. “Everyone is welcome here” should be the principle guiding every classroom, not a banned phrase
A teacher in Idaho has been told to remove posters reading "Everyone is welcome here" - specifically because it features different skin tones. As I wrote last week, this is a global political movement that has explicitly set the goal of eradicating the very concept of equality.
West Ada teacher stands firm after she’s told to remove ‘Everyone is welcome here’ signs
Sarah Inama said she was told by administrators that her signs “don’t allow people to express differing opinions.”
