Good for you. We’re in good shape too. Lots of people aren’t. Dems lost the election because lots of Americans didn’t personally feel the effects of the stock market recovery and other economic growth. |

Right. One cancer diagnosis to medical bankruptcy. |

This is exactly right. The 2024 election was fundamentally an economic change election fought over prices. All of the other issues were comparatively fringe. It's always about the economy. And prices continue to go up, and jobs continue to go down (unless you want to count the BLS "modeled" data that weirdly showed an uptick in state and local government jobs). |

Guess what PP before this last comment: your 401k can go down $942,000 in two months just like it went up. |

PP also did 'moron math' given the reason it went up $942,000 is that Trump substantially drove it down in the first place. The stock market has been trading sideways for the past 6 months. |

C'mon, now. We know that the current administration is manufacturing a narrative right now (i.e., June's job growth came from modeled data around state & local government, health, and social services). Here's reality: "Thousands of employees across various industries are expected to be laid off in July. Companies are required to send out a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) notice before implementing mass layoffs. Roughly 95 employers plan to lay off workers in July, according to WARNTracker.com. The full list, based on WARN notices via WARNTracker.com, includes: First Student United States Cellular Corporation LaCroix HSN Chevron Berry Global Primo Brands UPS Galion Pointe Nursing & Rehab ABM Industries Atco Rubber Products Mortech Manufacturing Company MedStar Mobile Healthcare Barrette Outdoor Living INOAC Exterior Systems Unitek Learning Education Group S&S Activewear Atria Wealth Solutions Starbucks C&S Wholesale Grocers Corteva SSB Manufacturing Company FedEx Lamps Plus Surfair Mobility American Institutes of Research Amazon Foot Locker 10x Genomics Vigor Alaska Kraton L.A.

A Kroger spokesperson declined to comment to Newsweek on the closures or provide a list of locations and dates of expected cessation of operations." |

That last one, U-Line definitely goes into the FAFO category. The owner is full-on MAGA and a huge Trump donor. |

| I just heard on the radio that the dollar is down 10% and that the German and Hong Kong stock markets have been doing better than ours. That’s on Trump. |

Reporter: Do the tariff rates change at all on July 9th or do they change on August 1st?
Trump: What are you talking about? Reporter: Tariff rates. Do they change on July 9th or August 1st? Trump: They're going to be tariffs. The tariffs are going to be the tariffs. |

One drunk driver away from medical bankruptcy... or so many other things. It's astounding how many Republicans think they are totally immune to fate. |

Amazon, UPS and U-Line layoffs are directly related to tariffs and shrinking online sales. Lots of small businesses struggling. |

Good lord. And he hasn't delivered on any of the deals he was supposed to put in place either. |
