We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
šŗšø The Atlanta Fedās GDPNow says the U.S. is growing at +3.8%.
But Moodyās Analytics finds 22 states + D.C. already in recession, from Washington to Georgia to Massachusetts.
So... are we booming, or breaking?
Moodyās chief economist Mark Zandi says the U.S. is āon the precipiceā of a damaging contraction.
Job losses are mounting in states tied to manufacturing, farming, and transport, while high-cost states like Georgia are now seeing population pullbacks.
Even California and New York are ātreading water.ā
GDP paints one picture - broad averages lifted by consumer spending and services.
But the micro data tell another story...goods-producing regions are cracking.
In past cycles, state-level recessions often lead national ones.
The fissures start smallā¦ until real cracks appear
Zandi blames policy uncertainty: tariffs, job cuts, and stalled labor growth.
Others say the slowdownās overhyped.
Either way, 22 recessions inside one economy isnāt a "no landing"...itās a warning.

šā”ļø U.S. Special Envoy and Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner linked to Israeli-American brothers convicted of sex trafficking.
Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander - recently found guilty in a major U.S. sex-trafficking case - had their surname redacted in the Epstein files, despite claims from Kash Patel that the files contained no evidence of trafficking. Rep. Thomas Massie later exposed the names.
In December 2020, the brothers attended Donald Trumpās White House Hanukkah celebration. Oren Alexander wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post:
āSpare your political views. The president just served us kosher food in his house and wished us a Happy Hanukkah.ā
Photos from the event showed Tal and Oren posing inside the White House.
Their links to Trump-world extended beyond parties. Oren Alexander brokered the $24 million Indian Creek mansion purchased by Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump in 2021.
The brothers were also fixtures in elite Israeli and American networks. Seven years ago, ...
š®š·āļøš¢ Iranās Red Sea Escalation Options
Since US is bombing Iran from Saudi Arabia, a look at five escalatory options that will have economic impacts on KSA and further choke global oil & gas supplies.
Map shows three maritime chokepoints (nos. 1ā3). Two down arrows (nos. 4ā5) point to possible targets for Iranian missiles and/or drones.
1: Straits of Hormuz: sealed (pending liberation by USN and USMC)
2: Bab al-Mandab (āGate of Tearsā): can be sealed by Ansarullah (āHouthisā). This may lead CSG Ford and/or CSG Lincoln to fight Ansar, alleviating pressure on Iran. NB: oil carriers exiting Red Sea via Bab al-Mandab are destined for Asia and Africa (mostly allies);
3: Entry to Suez Canal: possible to target bulk carriers and freight carriers sailing toward, or passing through, the Suez Canal (1,350ā1,450km depending on location of Iranian missile base). NB: oil carriers exiting Red Sea via Suez are destined for Europe (Iranās enemies);
4: East-West ...
