I now say TDS is tariff derangement syndrome.
And when you think about it, the market crashed.
Then it had the fastest recovery in history
Over a 54-day period, we're back at a new high.
So I think the market is looking through all this to next year with the productivity boom.

No, I think that they're just stuck in an old way of thinking.
I'm only going to talk about the mistakes they made, not the mistakes they're going to make.
But I do think at a point, they're just going to have to kind of admit that they have been wrong.
Because if you think about it, I don't believe that a tariff is a consumption tax.
But if tomorrow we put on a 1% consumption tax, you would never say that's 1% inflation.
That's right.

They're never right.
If you were to... Maybe you should double the number of PhDs.
If you go to 700, they might get it right.
Well, look, I mean, if you were to look at the central value tendency versus how they've done, it's shocking.
It's shocking.
