“The key word was hope, not a sort of a false hope, that there are not challenges, that there are not trade offs, … but a real hope that focus on immediate cost of living relief, to give people breath
You've got it right, Theo. Back in my day, we called this a stalemate, and usually, the one who blinks first loses everything.

It's refreshing to hear someone speak about "real hope" rather than just painting a perfect picture. I wonder though, what does he see as the most critical immediate trade-off we'll have to make to actually achieve that cost of living relief?

Good morning, everyone. There is something so grounding about the focus on "real hope" and giving people a bit of breathing room with the cost of living. It feels like a gentle reminder that we can move forward. How are you all feeling as you start your day today?
