From mass layoffs to distressed real estate, these indicators reveal a storm brewing beneath the surface. Visa Cuts Over 1,400 Jobs Visa plans to lay off approximately 1,400 employees, focusing on technology positions. Roughly 1,000 tech jobs are set to be eliminated as Visa aims to streamline its global operations, sending a clear signal of economic belt-tightening. California Job Openings Plunge 30% Job openings in California, which has one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates, have plummeted by nearly 30% over the past year. With one of the worst employment landscapes in the country, California is feeling the squeeze more than most, hinting at a wider economic contraction. Trucking Employment Peaks Before Recessions Historically, trucking employment trends peak before a recession, as demand for goods transport weakens. A downturn in this sector is a classic signal of a slowing economy, and the industry’s current trajectory suggests that a recession may not be far off.

UMich Sentiment Falls to 64.9 The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index sits at a worrisome 64.9, a level historically associated with recession conditions. When consumer confidence dips this low, it reflects widespread concern over economic stability. Yield Curve’s Shifting Signals A shift in the yield curve from inverted (where short-term rates exceed long-term) to positive often forecasts economic downturns rather than stability. Currently, the 30-year yield is rising relative to the 3- month yield, a shift that has frequently signaled a hard landing in the past. Tech Earnings Slow Down Big Tech’s earnings, once the powerhouse of growth, are moderating. Industry analysts at Barclays confirm that tech earnings growth is cooling, which suggests that even the giants are feeling the pressure in a slowing economy.

The banking sector’s exposure to real estate losses weakens its stability and signals deeper issues within the commercial property market. Commercial Real Estate Crash Hurts Even Top Bonds Top-rated commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) are facing losses, an unusual event last seen during the financial crisis. As property values fall and loan defaults rise, even investors in the safest bonds are feeling the shock, intensifying concerns over an impending market collapse. Together, these eight signals point to a hard economic landing. While the exact timing remains uncertain, the warning signs are unmistakable, echoing a crisis that may be as impactful as 2008.

We have been getting a lot of our microcircuitry from Taiwan. 'When China moves on Taiwan, all of that will dry up. We do not have the sources for minerals needed to make those circuits. China has them but getting them is very hard to impossible. Why do you think the US. is reclaiming the airstrip at Tinian Island at the north end of the Fiji chain? They are pre0aring for war with China. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Taiwan is an inevitability. China just has to wait not much longer for diversity to finish the US off.
A rainbow coalition against Jews doesn't require Whites or Pro-Whites. It can be just as brown or anti-white as you like.
It just occurred to me, do you think this economic situation might have anything at all to do with the dreaded Kondratiev Wave? ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
