Episode 95: Tariffs, Layoffs & a Slowing Economy – Are We Already in Trouble?
This week on Drunk Real Estate, we unpack the growing signs that the economy might already be in the early stages of a slowdown or recession. From empty shipping ports and declining imports to rising tariffs, inflation pressure, and layoffs, the data is painting a confusing—but concerning—picture.
We discuss:
📉 What’s really driving weak GDP projections
🛳️ Why U.S. ports are shockingly empty right now
💼 Where layoffs may be coming next—from trucking to government
🌎 How global trade patterns are shifting away from China
💵 The long-term effects of tariffs on inflation, prices, and real estate
Grab a drink and join us for the facts behind the headlines, with the usual dose of sarcasm, strong opinions, and surprisingly smart takes.
