I'm surprised no one has been mentioning the federal cuts and layoffs as a point of concern for the economic forecast.
Obviously the tarrifs are really bad, but stopping payments to a large number of organizations and laying off a lot of people is also probably going to have significant impacts too.
Yea idk. Stories like this signal for private equity to swoop in and dismantle public holdings. Banks don't give a shit about grants and workers.
It's not at the same scale, that's why it also doesn't actually make a difference in "saving money"
I actually think the impacts to the federal government will have farther reaching and longer lasting impacts than the tariffs.
I know a lot of people in that space and what's going on is somewhat terrifying.
