Looks kinda weird sticking up so high and with a thinner support structure underneath, looks top heavy.

Didn't see too much about this topic - but - I think it's safe to say that we are about into the 15th or 16th month of a metropolitan recession. Total non farm employment is down from Jan '25 to '26 by about 30k jobs or a total of -1%. with our 2nd (Prof. & Business Services) and 3rd (Trade, transport and utilities) largest employment sectors leading the fall.

We're still shielded from the worst of energy inflation (we don't really drive as much as other regions in the US). But, the picture isn't looking good for the near future for consumer spending activity which drives most economic activity. It's odd because we may not be in a "technical recession" because GSP/GDP keeps growing due to AI or inflation-impacted dollar valuations, but all other indicators show "recession".
