The tariff inflation impulse to CPI and PCE is clear to see for goods predominantly imported from China: furnishings (top row) and recreational goods (bottom row). Monthly inflation is 100 - 120 bps above where it normally would be around this time of year. That's a massive inflation shock...

We have the ability as a species to create a world where everyone is treated with respect and everyone lives in peace with nature but we have collectively chosen to do the opposite. I have lost hope in the world getting better.

The protests are not for Trump to see, they are so you can all see each other and grow. It's not the protest itself that tyrants are afraid of, but the networks and community you can grow from them. Your strength is your unity and that's why the enemy thrives by demoralizing and dividing you. #3E
