It is worse than that - I have noticed a decline on the pay offered in job listings.

I guess they’ll have to deport trump then. His grandfather came here as an illegal immigrant to escape the draft in Germany. That makes trumps father an american only because of birthright citizenship Oh, I forgot to mention that his grandfather was a criminal.

“Ha ha ha, the economy is shrinking like it got plunged into a freezing pool!”

Was very disappointed when I clicked on that link. I expected a Seinfeld clip of George blaming “shrinkage” but all I got was a news article.

It doesn’t matter (much) to MAGA. The will happily eat creamed, chipped beef on Wonder bread if it means some brown, gay, trans immigrant is living in fear. Actually, they would choose creamed, chipped beef even if they had money to burn.

Creamed, chipped beef is a funny food idea. It’s not just creamed meat, it’s “chipped” or shaved into tiny pieces. Humans are weird. None of this will ever really make sense. Just be thankful if you have friends, family, a roof and some creamed, chipped beef on white bread.

If prices are high it’s because of Joe Biden somehow anyway.

Ta, Marcie. Some of us will be all right. Others, not so much.

Always, when Republicans are "in charge"

I just hate so much how much they hate even the possibility of everything being all right

Why are they such pigs, Z ...?

I mean, literal pigs?

Like Orwell's Animal Farm level pigs?

The proven rapist Trump will not be happy until our economy is as little and misshapen as his peener.

If Trump were given his entire way we would end up needing a wheelbarrow full of Benjamins just to buy a dozen eggs.

Well, fear not...the Supremes are working hard on letting Trump have it all his way.

So, let me get this straight -- fentanyl wasn't the actual reason for imposing tariffs?

DemoCat's avatar

My fentanyl still costs the same.

Are those tax cuts going to do all that much good when there's no money coming in to not tax?

THEY'RE getting money. Money from generated interest. Money from capital gains

"Of late, administration officials have softened their stance on the July deadline, noting it was not critical, that it could slide for countries negotiating in good faith. — and that ultimately, Trump could just unilaterally impose rates where deals weren't possible."

So there are no deals, we're back to where we started.

All of this

And not enough people care because not enough people understand what happened.

Which is what Donald meant when he said he "loved the uneducated"

It's because they're stupid enough to believe whatever lies he tells them.

The housing market in Texas is frozen. People are not buying and there is an excess inventory of new homes. This being Texas, it doesn't bother me a lot, as I'd like it if people stopped moving here. I'd like it if developers didn't put a million McMansions all over the open countryside with special utility districts that screw cities.

Fight me.

I will not fight a fellow Texan. I will wholeheartedly agree with you.

We live in an old house in a town 6 miles outside of Dallas. On a property down the street that used to be a small farm builders put up 75 2-story McMansions. Zero lot lines, homes so close you'll hear your neighbor fart. They go for $300-400k

Every summer we hear about the power grid holding and see all the homeless lining the streets, but who needs electricity or affordable housing anyway?
