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.
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?
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...
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.
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.
Going into a recession to own the libs!
This but unironically. Fascists just want everyone to suffer because you already have to be miserable to become a fascist.
It’s almost as if rampant corruption, greed, and cowboy economics have consequences.
It's almost as if actions have consequences.
But Taco is already prepping his conservative reprogrammable meat bags to believe that 2026 is going to not be so great, and that it will (somehow) be Biden's fault.
Because these assholes are that fucking stupid to believe that we had a "terrible" economy in 2024 under Biden. And Taco knows enough of his dumbass conservatives will believe him that if 2026 is worse (because of him) that it's because the prior administration had us "on a bad path".
So in the economic head-canon of the Confederate Cinematic Universe:
- Biden's economy in 2024 was one of the worst we've ever had, and of course, if anyone was actually doing well, they were probably liberals anyway.
- The economy is the best you've ever had now that Taco is in office. Especially if you are a confederate.
- But if it's still bad in 2026, that's because of what Biden did to us (confederates - again, if you weren't suffering under the supposed worst economy ever, you were probably an undeserving liberal or POC or trans).
- Tariffs are NOT taxes, and other countries pay them.
- Ignore the fact that all of this nonsense sounds an awful lot like North Korean level propaganda or the way the Chinese Communists talked about a "Great Leap Forward", etc...even if you are starving and have no health care, this is all absolutely the golden age. Any pain you might feel, though, is the fault of Biden and the Democrat (sic) Party.
Weird. We had a Goldilocks economy last year. The envy of the world, even.
Wonder what happened in the intervening months? Hmmmm....
I'm mildly impressed they are managing to do all this without having an outside catalyst like covid-19.
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....
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!
Stupid is even more contagious and there is no vaccine.
Soooooo much winning everywhere!
How is it that we didn't see this coming?! /s
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.
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!
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?
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.
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.
Comrade Trump doing an expert job bringing down the U.S. from within. The soviet union would be proud.
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..
How will we know since the admin is determined to falsify economic data
