US stocks were sharply lower Friday as investors digested souring consumer sentiment and inflation data that showed an uptick in one of the Federal Reserve’s key gauges, underscoring the delicate state of the economy as businesses brace for President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
The Dow tumbled 750 points, or 1.77%, on Friday. The broader S&P 500 fell 2.1% and the Nasdaq Composite slid 2.8%.

Wall Street was also grappling with Trump’s announcement on Wednesday of 25% tariffs on all cars shipped into the US, set to go into effect April 3. Trump also announced tariffs on car parts like engines and transmissions, set to take effect “no later than May 3,” according to the proclamation he signed.
The best we can do is to quit as soon as your company gets purchased. What they are after is the people. Specially the key role people.
Don’t document your process. Fix things without opening change requests. That way if you assemble things the quality will drop when you leave.
If you’re in a key role, just quit. Don’t go fucking around by deleting data. It’s better to make up data instead that seems real but is not. Never write an email that is personal or has anger in it because, even if you don’t send it, it gets saved. Same for your teams messages. You want to stay in the industry, but just quit if your company gets taken over by a billionaire.
