What's this?

Not necessarily giving credit to Biden, but the drop in consumer sentiment

notwithstanding, I'm pretty amazed at where the economy is right now given the level of economic disruption over the last two years. If you had told me in late March 2020 after the S&P had dropped by 30% and the economy was grinding to a halt, that we'd STILL be dealing with covid in Feb 2022, I would have stocked up on guns, ammo, and canned goods.
