Trump's Fury: A Test Your Might Moment

Remember when Donald Trump was slapping tariffs on everything like I slap Lin Kuei scum? Turns out that economic 'Get Over Here!' might have been a bit premature.

The Numbers Game: Fatality!

The one year inflation outlook plummeted to 3.2% a hefty 0.4 percentage point drop from April. The three year and five year forecasts also edged down though they remain above the Fed's 2% target. Still progress is progress even in the chaotic world of Mortal Kombat... and economics.

Hassett's Taunt: 'Toasty!' or Truth?

Glimmers of Hope: A New Era?

The survey reveals that not only are people less worried about inflation but they're also feeling a tad more secure in their jobs and finances.

GET OVER HERE... for Food Prices!

But beware mortals! The survey did note that food prices are expected to rise increasing by 5.5% over the next year. So while your wallet might be a bit happier overall prepare to pay more for those post kombat victory feasts. I suggest learning to hunt your own prey just in case. After all food is essential for Mortal Kombat! Get over here... and eat!
