James Surowiecki: 尽管美国经济数据向好，失业率低，就业岗位增长，但许多美国人仍然感到经济低迷，这主要源于2021年和2022年高通货膨胀的滞后影响。高通胀使人们对物价上涨敏感，即使工资上涨也难以弥补通胀带来的损失。此外，高抵押贷款利率和融资成本上升也加剧了人们对经济的担忧，虽然对现有房主影响不大，但对潜在购房者和市场流动性造成影响。政府的刺激计划，特别是《美国救援计划》和《通货膨胀削减法案》，在一定程度上支撑了经济增长，但科技和媒体行业的裁员也对公众情绪造成负面影响，掩盖了整体经济的良好表现。美联储加息旨在实现经济的‘软着陆’，即在控制通货膨胀的同时避免经济衰退，但未来走向仍存在不确定性。 Yasmin Gagne: 就访谈内容进行提问和引导，并表达自身对经济形势的看法。

Courtney Tracy calls herself the truth doctor on TikTok. This came about after she’d dealt with a serious life event in 2019 and thought she needed to hide her struggle. She realized that if an up-and-coming licensed therapist was going to hide her mental health problems, what does that say about mental health overall? That we should hide it, be embarrassed about it . . . really? She was struggling, and she thought the world needed a therapist who was significantly struggling. So she called herself the truth doctor and, in fact, told the truth about her struggles to encourage other people to be honest with themselves and tell the truth about their struggles.

And we’re sorry to hear about Britney’s divorce . . .
