Given how many layoffs there have been and how much bad economic news has been coming out, I am quit surprised that we are not in a full blown technical recession. Even the DJI is touching historic highs and bond yields are down.

I know I sound like an armchair economist, which is probably why I am on here ranting instead of on a tropical beach with super models name Brooke and Tiffany, eating lobster and beluga caviar, washing it all down with fine champagne.

I can only assume that the last 5 years have been so solid for the economy that we have a long way down to go before we even begin to feel pain.

Structural demographics. ~13k-14k workers leave the labor force every day, through a combination of retirement and death. Beat on the economy hard with these terminal interest rates and tariffs, demand for labor will still exceed supply.
