Best one so far: Business has gotten stupid slow, and we estimate having many days of just a few hours’ work due to low volume. This is crazy—as busy as we were last year, and now for this year to have it turn off so quickly, it is hard to understand why.

Industrial earnings calls this year are a lot like Semi calls at the start of 2021. Large backlogs, demand mostly exceeding expectations. Talk of mega-trends helping longer term demand: sustainability, push to EVs, and IRA all given as examples.

In most other countries ex U.S, any benefit to the consumer from oil energy prices which will slowly filter through this year will be offset by higher mortgages rates. So question becomes, which impact is larger? In the US there is no such trade off. Apart for new buyers.
