Boy, Did You Hear About This Tariff Fiasco! Consumers Panic Buying Like They're Facing Ragnarok!

Hmph The Allfather of Tariffs...

Fools. I have seen gods fall and empires crumble. Now they panic over... *tariffs*? JPMorgan says spending is up! Like a Hydra with too many heads Americans are buying more. 3.8% more they say. Bah! March was only 2.7%. They hoard trinkets while the true battles are fought elsewhere. They think they can outsmart fate like Baldur trying to escape death. *Pathetic.*

Discretionary Spending? More Like Discretionary Panic!

Discretionary spending they call it. Fancy words for 'buying what they don't need.' Up 4.3%! They buy baubles and trinkets as if that will stave off the inevitable. They think shiny new things will bring them peace. They are wrong. Peace is a fool's dream like a Valkyrie's promise. These fools are like squirrels hoarding nuts for a winter that may never come. *Fools.*

Trump's Tariff Plan: A New Form of Chaos?

So this 'Trump' and his tariffs... they stir the pot. JPMorgan's little scribes saw it coming. People are afraid. Good. Fear is a useful tool like a well forged axe. I have seen gods trembling in fear and these mortals are no different. But fear should drive you to strength not to empty your coin purse on trinkets. It is the Aesir all over again controlling these mortals with fear. *Unacceptable.*

Easter or Economic Anarchy? You Decide!

They blame 'Easter'? 'Gas prices'? Excuses! Mortals always seek excuses. They would rather blame the gods than accept their own failings. Though I admit gasoline prices dropping probably help these impulsive mortals make poor decisions with their money. Regardless this 'Goolsbee' speaks of a 'spending bump.' Like the sudden surge of power from the Leviathan Axe it is fleeting. A temporary boost before the inevitable crash like a defeated enemy falling to the ground. *Worthless.*

Businesses Stockpiling: Like Dwarves Hoarding Ore!

Businesses hoard inventory like dwarves guarding their gold. A futile effort. Did they not learn from the tale of Fafnir? Greed consumes all. They stockpile goods from China as if quantity equals strength. They prepare for tariffs as if it were Ragnarok. I laugh. These fools learn nothing from history or even from the history that is yet to come. *Ignorance.*

CNBC Pro LIVE: Another Temptation from the Gods?

Now they tempt you with 'CNBC Pro LIVE' at the 'New York Stock Exchange'? More shiny trinkets to distract you from the true struggles. Networking with 'experts'? Bah! Experts know nothing. They are no better than the Valkyries who promised glory in battle. Promises of knowledge and power... all lies. Save your coin mortal. You will need it when the real battles begin. This event is just a new form of 'Trials of Archimedes'. *Do not trust it.*
