Consumers are still living it up
Share Now on:
Will the spending slow down anytime soon?
We’re not in a government shutdown. Instead, we’re talking about consumers spending like it’s still hot girl summer. Concerts, travel and shopping sprees seem to remain a priority for many in this economy. We’ll discuss how this might be a sign of shifting attitudes around debt. Plus, there’s a market for everything — even candles for Washington, D.C., wonks!
Here’s everything we talked about:
- “Trump’s understandable surprise at seeing his company in court” from The Washington Post
- “Americans Are Still Spending Like There’s No Tomorrow” from The Wall Street Journal
- Norwegian new car sales from @robbie_andrew on X
- Introducing the Government Shutdown candle
