So Trump is ruining US biz eh ?

A few months back Trump said a DOW 50k by
the end of his term would be a crowning
achievement. Now, barely a year in ....

Admittedly market figures only indirectly
echo 'consumer' figures. Stuff is still
relatively too expensive. It's improving,
but not there yet. Prices coming DOWN,
deflation, is something biz/industry is
NOT fond of alas ... generally means THEY
get stuck for overpaying, then having to
underprice, merch.

However some segments, like food, can be more
responsive in this respect. Consumers WOULD
notice and appreciate cheaper food.

The global biz/trade/money/pol norm had become
serious USA negative. "They" did stuff, WE
didn't respond. Not good. So, Trump HAD to
shake things up, "as usual" would NOT cut it.

But the improvements are not, can not, be
overnight. Modern civ, the 'microwave gen',
expects INSTANT. Idiotic, but that's how way
too many people think these days. How did
they come to think like that ???
