If anything, we're likely to see, you know, I was just hearing the tail end of what you're saying.
Ordinary people, people who are not in on the stock market are hurting and feeling extremely stressed.
Yeah, we're going to have a ghost month.
It appears that on labor market data, there will simply be a month that we know anything could have happened in there.
The BLS will never be able to catch up on that lost data.
And we do worry a lot.
I mean, there's been a problem with declining response rates and understaffed BLS even before.
So the data quality is going to be a real issue.
And we're all looking at
The soft data, the private surveys, all of which none of which says that the economy is falling off a cliff, but a lot of which is at least a little bit alarming.
And I'm particularly struck.
I've been looking at conference board on our jobs, you know, plentiful or are they hard to get?
And that number hasn't fallen off a cliff.
People feel really, really bad about job prospects right now in ways that the BLS numbers weren't showing before, but does suggest a kind of frozen labor market in which people, you know, if you're young, just getting in, or if you've been laid off, it's a really tough world out there.
So this is going to be, I mean, it doesn't look like
It doesn't look like September 2008 with everything falling off a cliff, but it does kind of feel like this is starting to feel like a tough economy.
And as I said, people, ordinary people are extremely pessimistic about the state of affairs.
No, it's a terrible idea.
I mean, we have an enormous budget deficit.
The tariff revenue, which is, by the way, coming in substantially below what Trump administration officials said it was going to be.
