Never fear, just when prosperity begins to rise from its slumber the trade wars will fark it all up again with more embargos and tariffs.

Biden is the one limiting the export of advanced semiconductors and the machinery required to fabricate them. With the new congressional majority hungry for STIGGINIT to feed to their base it seems likely we will see additional export controls in exchange for debt ceiling relief.

Meanwhile, workers across different categories - onsite, hybrid, and fully-remote - all saw declines in feeling connected to the mission or purpose of their organizations.

Most companies don't have a mission or purpose, which contributes to this problem.

My stock people assured me that no recession was coming, which I remember some Farker saying back when we were promised one in 2018. Just yesterday it dawned on me that stock trading companies have reason to be permanently optimistic about that sort of thing.

My employer axed 8% of our headcount today in anticipation of everything going sideways, so getting a kick, etc, etc...

Just like so called "Consumer Confidence", businesses react to what may happen instead of what does happen. But I bet this will happen to the employees when the company doesn't hire that 8 % back:
