He called a sub-one-percent contraction a “recession” twenty-four times in ten minutes. Forty-eight hours later: 88,000 new jobs. Read the river, not the ripple.
Completely unrelated to the substance of this post, I wanted to say how much I love a particular set of comparisons you use to discuss the substance. The ripple not the river. The tide turning or not yet turned. The boat, the keel, the rudder, the wave, the lighthouse. Having watched the tidal bore on the Petitcodiac River in Riverview/Moncton, having watched the highest tides in the world come in and go out at the Minas Basin, after eating fish straight off the (extended) family's boat on Long island, after walking the ocean floor at Hopewell Rocks, after living the majority of my life loving the water, I adore that you use it constantly to make your points. Gratitude.
Excellent analysis. To your question: "whether they are being offered analysis or performance." from PP, reading his 'river' his response will be performative in keeping with well documented past behaviour. His 'river' is filled with torrents of ripples, turbulence suggesting the raft is headed for the 'falls'.
This is a proper assessment. You always need to consider broader trends rather than relying on individual data points to come to an informed conclusion. That is the definition of risk management and assessment.
Managing to make some progress under difficult circumstances and despite somewhat unpredictable and uncontrollable obstacles ahead! I do find that many of our politicians and most media commentators are mired in outdated, short term policy-wonkishness rather than embracing a bigger, longer term vision of where we need to go and that we citizens let them get away with this.
Considering that our economy is sluggish and not failing in the light of a tariff tyrant to the south of us, I'd say that we're holding our head above the water. We're treading water but not drowning as we could have should our national vote have gone a different way.
We're directly north of the nuclear dumpster fire and have no buffer from the fallout of repeated failed policies. We're holding our own IN SPITE of that. That's encouraging.
We've hired the right captain to turn our ship around and anyone who understands knows that at first, the effort to turn the ship is hard...once we're halfway through the turn, it all gets easier. Someone needs to remove PP from the rudder because he's fighting the turn, and it's deliberate sabatoge.

Thank you. Sanity is so refreshing.

Somewhere in the difficult middle. My take as well.
I am not sure or confident that he can speak from the center of any topic, but we will wait. namaste

It’s really too bad that not one of those 88 000 jobs is for PP.
Considering that our economy is sluggish and not failing in the light of a tariff tyrant to the south of us, I'd say that we're holding our head above the water. We're treading water but not drowning as we could have should our national vote have gone a different way.
