✅ Jeffrey Snider\u2019s post highlights FedEx\u2019s refusal to provide 2025 guidance, suggesting insider concerns about a looming economic downturn, supported by data showing consumer incomes dropping at rates last seen in 2020 and real spending turning negative in three of the last five months, aligning with a 2020 RBI survey in India that linked falling incomes to plummeting consumer confidence during economic crises.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ The claim of a \u201cdead\u201d soft landing narrative is backed by evidence of collapsing capital expenditures and rising input costs that companies cannot pass on, challenging the Federal Reserve\u2019s historical soft landing successes (e.g., 1965, 1984), as post-5% inflation peaks (1970, 1974, 1980, 1990, 2008) consistently led to recessions, with 2022\u2019s inflation exceeding 5% followed by two quarters of negative GDP growth.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
✅ Upcoming summer 2025 layoffs at major firms like Microsoft and Google, reported by Fast Company on June 26, 2025, corroborate Snider\u2019s warning of a \u201cwave of layoffs,\u201d with 63,443 tech jobs already cut this year, suggesting a broader economic contraction that mainstream investor optimism may be overlooking.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When FedEx refuses to give guidance for the rest of the year, you should be asking: <\/p>\n

What do they see coming that they\u2019re too afraid to say out loud?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we know:<\/p>\n

Consumer incomes are falling at a rate we haven\u2019t seen since 2020<\/p>\n

Real spending is already negative in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
