    Before reacting, read the article

    Inflation rose to 3% in January, its highest rate for six months, and above the 2.9% expected by economists.

    This is significant for bankers, but not for regular people. You’re not going to notice that inflation is 0.1% higher than expected

    There’s nothing unexpected about it. Have they not been paying fucking attention to what the Orange Jackass had been doing to is?

      I know I’ve seen this on several websites today. What was everyone expecting? The only think I can think of is the old trope that Republican administrations are better for the economy. I have coworkers who were basically expecting miracles once Trump got into office. Things are probably gonna be bad.

    Trump’s fine with that as far as his gold reserves are going to skyrocket in value. That’s maybe one of the reasons why he wants these tariffs so bad in the first place.

    (Get precious metals asap, btw.)
