All those farmers going bankrupt will make a lot of land available

Kinda interesting. I look forward to some buying opportunities.

That isn't really true. The reason the GDP and economy in general do better when democratic policies are in place are because money cycles through communities many times more when poor and middle class people have resources. The top 1% or 10% mostly horde money and it doesn't really benefit the broader society.

The problem is the “health” of our economy has become almost entirely reliant on top 10%. That’s who is traveling and markets overwhelmingly are catering to them.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/08/06/economy-jobs-middle-class-recession-tariffs/

The top 10 percent of earners now drive about half of spending, according to Moody’s, up from 36 percent three decades ago. These people will determine if the U.S. economy avoids a recession. These are households earning $250,000 or more, and they are largely doing just fine, buoyed by strong stock-market gains, mansions and rental properties that have shot up in value in recent years, and a rebound in business dealmaking. The wealthy continue to spend on lavish vacations, parties and events, and that masks the strain that many middle-class and moderate-income families are experiencing.

I thought people aren’t drinking anymore. No one under 40 drinks wine anyway.

I didn't start drinking wine until after 40.

I started drinking wine after todays terrible jobs report. Did you all see that healthcare was +31,000, so every other industry was negative?

Who did Trump fire today after the bad jobs report?

He played that card with the previous one, it would be very hard to do that this time. But he's going to expect an upward revision as soon as his nominee gets confirmed.

The bailout of soybean farmers during Trump’s first term cost taxpayers more than the entire State Department budget.

He didn’t give them a bailout this time, did he?

I think the 2018 bailout has continued.

Payments were just for crop years 2018 and 2019, that program ended.

Weak job market, tons of layoffs and virtually every new job added has been part-time. The job market hasn't been this bad since the pandemic.

Trump is wrecking the economy.

Exactly. Money in and of itself isn't what powers an economy, it's money changing hands. Trickle down doesn't work. The working class power economies, not the rich. GOP policies are about concentrating wealth for the rich, not for the working class.

Summer hiring maybe?

All those folks that work seasonally.

What was it in 2024 for the same time period?

The 1% I guess.
