THE FED IS DRIVING BLIND: STRAIGHT INTO A RECESSION

The labor market is losing its grip — and the Fed might not even see it coming.In today’s Truthbomb, Mark Malek breaks down the most important (and misunderstood) shift happening in the economy right now: the silent power swing from workers back to employers. Post-pandemic hiring mania is over. Layoffs are returning. Companies are protecting margins, not people — and that changes everything.With the government shutdown freezing key data like payrolls, unemployment, and participation rates, markets are flying blind — relying on ADP and ISM surveys to guess where the economy’s really headed. Meanwhile, corporate profits are slowing, capital spending is fading, and consumers are stretching credit to stay afloat.The Fed keeps saying it’s “data dependent.” But what happens when there’s no data left to depend on?In this episode:-Why layoffs are quietly accelerating again-How a weak labor market can cause a recession-What ADP’s latest report really means for markets-Why rising long yields signal danger, not recovery-And why the “soft landing” may already be cracking Truthbomb: The Fed can call itself data dependent all it wants — but when the data disappears, so does the illusion of control.Watch till the end to see how this labor shift could rewrite the market’s next chapter.Substack: https://substack.com/@wstruthbombsX: https://x.com/WSTruthBombsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wstruthbombsBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/wstruthbombs.bsky.socialTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wstruthbombsTruthbombs videos are for informational and entertainment purposes only.
