Generally don’t have this type of GDP without inflation. But Covid was the anomaly. New Normal looking more and more like the old Normal…

Except the epic debt and govt. spending on roids due to various cronyism other waste. Eventually these are major headwinds but the timing along with AI productivity remains uncertain. Plus I would argue the current political construct of the country is unsustainable.

This was a massive beat on the preliminary reading.
But, it's a double edged sword for the Fed.
One one hand, the economy seems to be holding up. But on the other hand this may push back interest rate cuts.

We know every number from the boomer ruling class is going to be insanely bullish for the economy
No one really paying much attention anymore to this as it’s all massaged for election narrative and to continue to add wealth to the billionaire oligarch donor class
