Frustrating. —- Great start to the podcast. Having Nate Silver as the first guest just makes sense. The conversation was top notch. Galen is an excellent host and I was happy to have the familiar voice back in my feed. First episode it makes sense to lean on what you know, but I look forwar... more

While there are always risks, the economy is expected to continue performing well, with stable growth and inflation rates, indicating a positive outlook despite some concerns.
Have We Achieved The Goldilocks Economy?
Q: What happens to the frameworks of trade deals that included tariffs?

Have We Achieved The Goldilocks Economy?
Q: When you look at the inflation situation, what factors prevented tariffs from raising prices or causing inflation?
Most tariffs are largely paid by Americans, with businesses initially absorbing costs before potentially raising consumer prices, but this hasn't led to the excessive inflation previously predicted.
Have We Achieved The Goldilocks Economy?
Q: How have markets and or consumers tended to price in tariff uncertainty so far?
There is slightly less uncertainty now than before the Supreme Court decision, and while uncertainty has a negative impact, it hasn't had a catastrophic effect on the economy.
