May 2025

Stock Market: high PE ratio: not cheap

Labor market disruptions: Unemployment rate steady for now, but impending layoffs coming. Deportations. Govt layoffs.

Tariff taxes at unsustainable levels. Global shipping way down.

Budget bill: blowing up the deficit despite lots of cuts to govt spending. Big tax cuts to 1%, but the consumer who power the economy get shafted.

Unstable incompetent Executive branch attacking allies and all other countries, attacking science and scientists (exodus), attacking Congress, attacking judiciary, revenge prosecutions.
