Tariffs, Tea, & Tenacity: Why the Stock Market’s Still Surging | Queer Money Ep. 603
Season 10 Episode 603
Why Hasn’t the Economy Crashed Yet?
The U.S. stock market is still tossing confetti like it’s Pride, despite Trump’s tariff tantrums and everyone waiting for the other (designer) shoe to drop. GDP’s up, inflation’s creeping, and the consumer is “resilient” (aka drowning in credit). So what gives?
We’re diving into:
- Why the GDP looks sparkly on the surface (hint: imports are the messy drag wig underneath).
- How Trump’s on-again, off-again tariff “taco trading” makes economists feel like they’re cooking dinner with their stove knobs hijacked.
- Why Big Tech and index funds are propping up Wall Street while Main Street feels the pinch.
- What’s really hiding behind “consumer resilience” and why your credit card company is the only one clapping.
💸 Don’t get blinded by the glitter—learn what’s really fueling this market and what it means for your wallet and your retirement plans.
