Hello there! Have you ever had a plan change at the last minute? Maybe your parents said you were going to the park, but then decided to go shopping instead? It can be confusing, right?
Well, something similar is happening in the United States! A very smart person called an economist — someone who studies how money and businesses work — named Christopher Hodge says that the US government’s sudden changes in plans are making things hard for businesses. 🏭
Imagine you’re trying to build a big LEGO castle 🏰, but someone keeps changing the instructions. Businesses are feeling like that because the government’s policies (the rules they make) keep changing. This makes it tough for them to plan ahead.
These sudden changes are causing problems in the financial markets — that’s like the big place where people buy and sell stocks and shares (think of it like trading Pokémon cards, but with money! 💰). When businesses can’t plan, it can also make people worried about spending money, which affects the whole economy.
Mr. Hodge thinks that these policies might be similar to what happened before during President Trump’s time. What do you think about sudden changes? Do you like surprises, or do you prefer to know what’s coming next? 🤔
