If you’ve been watching the latest episode of “Washington Dysfunction,” you might be wondering: How on earth does the United States keep pumping out economic growth while Congress acts like a reality TV show stuck on permanent commercial break? Shutdowns? Check. Filibusters? Oh, plenty. Border chaos? You bet. And yet, here we are — the economy keeps growing like that one overachiever nobody understands. So before we get into the details, let’s talk about our sponsor:
Former Zillow exec targets $1.3T market
The wealthiest companies tend to target the biggest markets. For example, NVIDIA skyrocketed nearly 200% higher in the last year with the $214B AI market’s tailwind.
That’s why investors are so excited about Pacaso.
Created by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso brings co-ownership to a $1.3 trillion real estate market. And by handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, they’ve made $110M+ in gross profit to date. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
No wonder the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso. And for just $2.90/share, you can join them as an early-stage Pacaso investor today.

Welcome to the saga of the accidental superpower, folks. America is pulling off a magic trick that even Zeus Zeihan probably didn’t predict: economic resilience through chaos. It’s like the country forgot to tell the economy there’s a crisis going on.
So, what’s the secret sauce? First, jobs. America has more openings than workers willing to fill them, and that hole? Immigrants — legal or otherwise — are plugging it like the unsung heroes they are. They keep factories humming, restaurants busy, and yes, prices from spiraling out of control by making more stuff and doing more services. Sure, politicians might be busy finger-pointing, but immigrants are busy keeping the lights on.
Next is the classic: consumer spending. Despite all the noise, Americans just keep buying. Maybe it’s the optimism of the superpower or the stubbornness of a people used to binge-watching economic booms and busts alike. Either way, wallets remain open, especially for those higher up the income ladder and the big corporations itching to invest.
Don’t forget the Fed, quietly playing the long game. Interest rates are steady, maybe even dropping soon, making borrowing less of a headache for businesses and families. And the government? Well, it’s spending cautiously, especially on defense and border control—because even accidental superpowers need to guard their fortresses.
Trade talks and tariff rollbacks are icing on this strange but delicious economic cake. Lower tariffs mean cheaper goods, less inflation, and more buying power for Joe and Jane Average. So while politicians squabble over who gets the blame, everyday Americans are quietly benefiting.
The takeaway? America isn’t perfect—far from it. But its economy is a relentless beast thriving on a mix of job-hungry immigrants, stubborn consumers, strategic policy tweaks, and a global trade network that just won’t quit.
