Summary
If you cover the economy from New York City or Abu Dhabi, it's easy to get caught up in a media bubble. But the U.S. economy is obviously not a monolith.

During our discussion, we talk about the ramifications from the opioid crisis as well as the Trump administration on the economy and the markets.
