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...

Dark forces like...Costco!

Hard to tell if it's Trump's hold on MAGA diminishing or how much they fucking love/need Costco, but I've yet to hear a single call for a boycott.

If you don't pay the claims, then there are no claims.

I could easily be wrong, but I think you can collect unemployment for about 6 months. So, maybe claims are down because people have been unemployed so long they no longer qualify?

And, I think once someone has remained unemployed for that long, they are no longer counted as part of the workforce.

Or he could, you know, just be lying about claims being down.

Is that trump or Lou holtz

I’m enjoying seeing him decline both at his rally and in his social media posts.  The fact that he’s telling all of us that for some reason he’s having to take cognitive tests with rooms full of doctors is awesome.  It’s gonna be fun to see how MAGA handles his decline.

"Decline? You mean how the Deep State was slowly poisoning him because he was making America great again and the libtards who are trying to steal our country wanted to make sure transgender child molesters could prey on our children again?" - MAGA, probably

There are very few things in my life that I've looked forward to more than when that fat fuck keels over and half the country (and the rest of the world) throws an impromptu rager while the other half flies their flags at half mast for the rest of eternity and chastises us for our tasteless celebration and lectures us on decorum...while we laugh in their fucking faces.

We were hanging out on Sunday with some friends and 2/3 of the couples there have a nice bottle saved for the occasion.

I check out TexAgs political board from time to time. I’ve noticed a distinctive shift in support of Trump’s economic policies presumably due to the lack of positive results. Don’t get me wrong, these are still hardcore Trumpists and would never vote Dem but even they know Trump is lying at saying his economy is A++++.

When TexAgs are openly criticizing Trump, this tells me the GOP is in trouble next November unless something changes fast. And it never changes that fast in a positive direction.
