KEY POINTS
- Goldman Sachs expects aggressive duties from the White House to raise inflation and unemployment and drag economic growth to a near-standstill.
- In a note Sunday, the firm said “we continue to believe the risk from April 2 tariffs is greater than many market participants have previously assumed.”
- The firm raised its forecast for inflation this year to 3.5%, cut its GDP outlook to just 1% and raised its unemployment view to 4.5%.
Even now we could stop doing idiotic things and we might recover in a few years? But if we continue, we’ll run out of every single company’s rainy day fund. At that point in the not too distant future we’ll start seeing one no-name company go belly up. Then a few days later two, then the next day ten, then 200. Finally we’ll be in a deepest recession ever. People will be jumping out of buildings.
I mean lots of companies are declaring bankruptcy already
How many of those have been because they’ve been sucked dry by private equity?

Ever been to a hooters that didn’t have a parking lot that was falling apart, or tables and machines that look to have been needing repairs for years? The details might not matter to every consumer, but I know I’d rather visit the restaurant that at least tries to keep up appearances.
Wow I’d never considered that with Hooters but now that you mention it, every Hooters I’ve been in (only 2 of them) has been kind of dark and dirty looking like a 1980s era Pizza Hut.
