    Right call — tariff/war/AI inflation isn't transitory vibes.

    Should have held. Housing is already in a deep freeze.

    Cuts were never realistic with diesel ripping higher.

    Warsh vs Trump tension is the story. Policy still looks data-ish.

    Should have cut for Main Street. Wall Street will be fine either way.
