    1. Quote: *U.S. manufacturing activity slumped to a 14-month low in December, with new orders contracting further and input costs grinding higher as the sector continued to bear the imprint of President Donald Trump’s import tariffs.*

      Bad for the future but what can I say, *Democracy in Action!*

    2. Doesn’t matter.  Stock prices go up.  Shareholders happy.  C Suite did their job.

      And these are the only people that matter now.  The rest of us are lucky to not be Soylent Green.  Yet.

      *Yet*.
