anecdotal- three unrelated younger working people in my immediate orbit (in PA, VA and TX) have been through a traumatizing round of layoffs/'restructuring' in the last two months. they've all survived the cuts but are stressed/sad to have lost co-workers and have to take on additional roles/responsibilities to pick up the slack, not to mention terrified of the next round...

Question about this farmer bailout that we all knew was coming. If this is being paid from tariff revenue doesn’t this mean we are paying it from paying higher prices he caused from this stupid shit? This is a double dipping of stupid.

And, there's a pretty decent likelihood that all the tariff revenue goes poof in the next few months.

Don’t forget he also killed the market for American farmers going forward and we don’t know if those customers will ever come back! It’s a banana split of eating a bag of dicks self pwnage! But hey! The libs are hoping mad about it! And the warm feeling that brings is toats worth it, amirite?!

He wants the Supreme Court not to overturn his tariff income, so he says that the illegal income has to go to pay back farmers that his stupid policies have hurt, so the Supreme Court should not overturn his tariffs.

Needed to print some money to pay the farmers.

I don't think that's it. We spent $13.5B on repos to give banks more cash (presumably for lending, which in theory can be a good thing, like it was during COVID but is generally a "oh fuck bad shit is coming, we need to put up our shields" kind of action). We're also now about to spend $12B on this "bailout". That's $25B that just went poof from the feds, assuming we actually pay the farmers.

The $13.5B liquidity injection is quite the tell... Not in a good way.

It might also be an indication that bond rates are about to go down so they wanted to buy back bonds now before their price jumps. That seems unlikely...
