This makes perfect sense. If you think about a construction site, there are a bunch of people with skills - carpenters, dry wallers, electricians, plumbers etc. And then there are the guys who are just hauling stuff, sweeping etc. If there are undocumented on site, it is usually that last category. When constuction falls apart because of deportations, then all of those folks are out of work.

+1 yep. With the disaster that is the labor market, I’ve gone ahead and tabled our planned six figure renovation. The fact that some “proud Republican small business owner” might go a little hungry this year was a nice bonus.

I don’t even have to warn people in the neighborhood about certain maga contractors anymore, the economy is killing their businesses without any help

Economic forecasts say inflation will be 6% this summer.

That was the promised GDP from Trump...I guess he confused the two.

We will probably hold off on any remodeling until we get a sane president with sane tariff and immigration policies. We're talking $100K in remodeling.

US investing $2 billion in quantum computing companies. So US taxpayer dollars are going to purchase the means of production in a capitalist economy. Last time I checked, that is socialism.

Where are all the anti-Harris MAGAs?

Iran and Oman are discussing a permanent Strait of Hormuz toll

https://investinglive.com/news/iran-and-oman-are-discussing-a-permanent-strait-of-hormuz-toll-20260521/

Iran and Oman are actively discussing a permanent security mechanism for the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is pushing to institutionalize and normalize a transit fee or toll on commercial shipping vessels navigating the narrow waterway. According to an Iranian diplomatic envoy, the proposed system is designed to secure the long-term positioning of Iran and Oman as the primary regulators of the strait, effectively transforming a temporary leverage point from the recent military conflict into a permanent sovereign right.
