Jaime Dimon's Letter, Inflation, Small Businesses and College Alternatives

This week, John and Eli delve into crucial topics shaping the economic landscape. First, they dissect Jamie Dimon's recent shareholder letter, where the JPMorgan Chase CEO expresses concerns about potential risks to the US economy, including inflation, government spending, and geopolitical tensions. Dimon's insights not only highlight the challenges ahead but also offer reflections on the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, hinting at a future with shorter workweeks and significant societal shifts.

It does present us with a question though - Should we be worried? Or how worried should we be? And how will that impact our actions now as investors?

This week's headlines were also flooded with information about inflation rising which may be connected to the increase of small businesses in the US. John and Eli explore findings from a Federal Reserve Bank of New York survey indicating Americans' anticipation of prolonged inflation and its impact on job security. The surge in small businesses started as side hustles and the increasing enrollment in vocational community colleges reflect a cultural shift away from traditional academic paths, emphasizing the evolving economic landscape and changing perceptions of career trajectories.
