The Fed is going to continue to raise rates. It's going to take at least 18 months for higher rates to bring inflation down to the 2%-3% goal of the Fed, so higher rates will be here through the election in 2024.

We're very likely going to have a recession in the 2nd half of 2023. That recession could be big, and could last well into 2024, which is bad news for everyone with a (D) next to their name.

I mean, i'm glad people are getting hired and can feed their families and have jobs. But hiring on this scale and with employment this tight, we're teetering the line here.
