Have they tried not taxing all imports for literally no reason at all?
I don’t know for some reason I feel like that might help.
Democrats: Good Economy
Republicans: Bad Economy
Democrats: Good Economy
Republicans: Bad Economy
How many more times do we need to see this pattern before American’s hamster brains start putting two and two together?
So many can’t tell the difference. As a matter of fact they applaud actions that overheat the economy that leads to inevitable crashes like combining deregulation with reducing taxes and interest rates. Then when it all comes to roost their solution is austerity.
Comrade Trump doing an expert job bringing down the U.S. from within. The soviet union would be proud.
How will we know since the admin is determined to falsify economic data
We aren’t even in the mass layoff stages yet. Those are coming around summer next year.
The administration and GOP is going to do whatever they can to silence job fears until right after the 2026 elections are rigged and they stay in power, then they will still blame Biden.
The next president will be blamed for everything while they try to clean up Trump’s massive messes.
You’re assuming we have fair elections…
Exactly what happened to Biden. But this time the mess is going to be WAY bigger. So the Republicunts will be able to put up a candidate as bad, if not worse than Trump, and they’ll win because Americans are fucking stupid and they’ll blame whoever the sitting president is, even if things are recovering well, like they were under Biden.
Stupid country will get stupid results.
Exactly what happened to Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden. This literally keeps happening over and over again and it makes me feel insane that nobody seems to remember
I imagine an infusion of cash to the market and a reprieve on tariffs that year.
They may have decided that the easiest way to make people feel like the economy is doing well during an election year is to first screw it up the year prior.
That is my plan at work. I put bugs in the code, they get reported, I fix them quickly and I’m the hero!
I absolutely hate that some of my biggest recognized complishments were only possible because I screwed up the first time around. It’s not too bad when at least I’m fixing someone else’s screw ups, but averting a screw up no one even knew could happen is worthless for reputation building…
Who would be hiring when things are so unstable right now? I think the proof of Trump’s inadequacy has finally surpassed his claims of greatness…
And who would invest in anything with such an unstable admin. You don’t know what this dumbfuck will do the next minute.
Thanks, Biden.
You mean Obama.
No, he means Hilary
I can’t tell… are people unironically upvoting this?
are people unironically upvoting
Since we live in a world where irony is ded, its impossible to know
Have you said thank you once?
It’s sarcasm
How can we be sure?
Sure? Impossible. But you’re on Lemmy in the News section of lemmy.world, I’d be surprised if they weren’t.
Weird. We had a Goldilocks economy last year. The envy of the world, even.
Wonder what happened in the intervening months? Hmmmm…
Damn Democrats keep poison pilling everything
/s
It is amazing how incompetent yet powerful they are at the same time.
/s
Welcome to stagnation.
More like starvation
It’s almost as if rampant corruption, greed, and cowboy economics have consequences.
I’m mildly impressed they are managing to do all this without having an outside catalyst like covid-19.
Stupid is even more contagious and there is no vaccine.
Covid-19 hasn’t gone anywhere. And Frik n’ Frak are aiming to get rid of the one weapon we have against it.
Yeah, but Frak says he isn’t really doing that at all. I mean, he sat there and told Warren and others that everyone can get the vaccine, and he wasn’t saying that just to gaslight the 92% of the country that are not antivaxxer sister-fuckers, honest!
COVID 19 cases are surging right now, the nimbus variant and razor blade throat pain. Seems its on the rise, im dealing with it right now, it was pretty intense experience of throat pain.
I also have covid with awful throat pain right now. I feel miserable. The last time I had covid I had throat pain so bad I couldn’t speak and could barely eat. I’m so excited that I may be experiencing it again…
thats exactly it, have requested paxlovid from your physician? i heard it can help. cpc mouthwash works on covid in the mouth, or you can try getting numbing spray.
Unfortunately, I don’t have insurance so I don’t currently have a GP. But oh numbing spray! I forgot all about that! I’ll have to get some of that. Thank you for the recommendations!
How is it that we didn’t see this coming?! /s
The real job loss is likely higher but offsetted by the job openings cause by ICE snapping workers.
or they are counting ice job listings?
All those fired government workers will have to step up and pick vegetables, build houses, disembowel chickens and cows, and build cars.
Funny, when I was a kid in the '60s reading science fiction, those were the jobs we would create robots for.
usagov started having jobs again and boy you can tell all the high tech efficiencies. Did one and you had to fill in the web application but also a seperate pdf application filled out and attached all of which is basically redundant with your resume.
Elections have consequences and this is what they voted for.
“But when he said he was going to kick out all foreigners, remove all subsidies, kill expensive medical programs or change import/export, and I’m still in favor of that, I didn’t think he was going to change anything about my cheap workers or my Medicaid that I need to live. And the stuff that I order for my business is so expensive now. Oh yes, I would vote for him again in a heartbeat.”
They’re seem to be a lot of those.
But her weird laugh😣
She didn’t go on Joe Rogan🥱
She’s going to start a war😰
Did I miss any other excuses?
All the “genocide” shit. As if Taco and pals were going to be any better. But we had a lot of single-issue idiocy on this anyway.
FFS. Now we might just get blood in the streets in Gaza, AND here at home AND in random countries that Taco decides to go to war with.
Way to go. This is some real 9-dimensional chess.
The biggest one.
Kamala: I stand with Israel!
Trump: I stand with Israel, and I’m a fascist!
Leftist: it’s the same picture
Exactly. And even better - that bunch is/was so busy telling everyone what morally superior creatures they all are…
i dont like her, she dint say anything about her plans,
she cackles like a hyena she was a cop that was hardlined against african americans, she wasnt a good AG.
-we know you all sexist/racist conservative are saying.
It’s almost like things might have been better if we had some kind of primary process to choose a candidate that suited us instead of having one thrust into the candidacy without any vetting whatsoever.
Sorry but do either of you folks believe we’d be four months from societal collapse if Trump hadn’t won?
I didn’t much care for her, either but she would’ve bought all of us another four years of boredom before we had to deal with Trump again, and by that time he’d be four years closer to death and a voterbase four years over him and onto another obsession.
The long-game is the only one that matters. Gaza could’ve likely not been prevented, but eased? I’m willing to bet what Palestinians are left would be better off of she were president. Gaza itself likely not, but we can’t have everything unless you’re all willing to throw some bricks and start some fires.
A fellonious pedophile sits in the white house and you’re still on your ass, so… guess not
I was told by many stupid fucks that Trump winning would do a thing to activate leftists or that these uber sexy single leftists were already hot and available in my area and doing all of the activisms and organizings that could ever be done, so it wasn’t actually a problem if Trump won.
Then he wins and shocked Pikachu face, these marvelous leftists that own the streets were nowhere at all to be found.
Democrats are pathetic, sure. But so is this supposed mass movent of online leftists, that just needs a bit more accelerationism to activate bro, I promise bro, just a little more fascism and we’ll revolution, bro! I’m definitely not a concern troll, bro! No way bro!
this is how I feel. that there is some sort of civil/revolutionary war romance idea when people really need to look at history and how often civil/revolutionary wars actually resulted in a better situation and of those how many had some sort of external assistance to get them to a better situation.
It’s because these spaces are just infested with fascists pretending to be leftists, telling the actual leftists not to vote, and they fall for it as reliably as Trump falls for teenagers.
Well said! No notes.
Bang on about the concern troll thing. I’m so very sick and tired of that. I’m sure all their sanctimony is a great comfort to them as they watch shit get worse nearly every day. That’s if some of the trolls even have to live in this country, that is…
Cracks in the economy? More like a cravasse. 75% reduction YoY is fucking wild.
Oh wow, I had to go up and re-read the headline, because I thought it was like 75% of what it was last year. As in a reduction of 25%.
Goddamn, we are so fucked.
