Not long ago, I was talking to someone who used to stress out every time new trade tariffs or policy changes hit the news. Back then, they were constantly adjusting, reacting, and trying to keep up with all the economic rules that kept shifting. But this time, they seemed completely unfazed.

Ya know in retrospect, Jeromes claim several years ago that inflation would be transitory, was pretty accurate on this long term time horizon
