    We aren’t even in the mass layoff stages yet. Those are coming around summer next year.

    The administration and GOP is going to do whatever they can to silence job fears until right after the 2026 elections are rigged and they stay in power, then they will still blame Biden.

        Exactly what happened to Biden. But this time the mess is going to be WAY bigger. So the Republicunts will be able to put up a candidate as bad, if not worse than Trump, and they’ll win because Americans are fucking stupid and they’ll blame whoever the sitting president is, even if things are recovering well, like they were under Biden.

        Stupid country will get stupid results.

          Exactly what happened to Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden. This literally keeps happening over and over again and it makes me feel insane that nobody seems to remember

            Not clinton. Bush senior did not have much of a choice after reaganomics and had to do some things right which is why he lost election (lesson for all future republican presidents) and why the late 90’s had a pretty good economy and we even had year over year surplus. Im still agog on how well biden did in just one term but it comes no where near enough of a recovery to handle trump2.

      I imagine an infusion of cash to the market and a reprieve on tariffs that year.

      They may have decided that the easiest way to make people feel like the economy is doing well during an election year is to first screw it up the year prior.

          I absolutely hate that some of my biggest recognized complishments were only possible because I screwed up the first time around. It’s not too bad when at least I’m fixing someone else’s screw ups, but averting a screw up no one even knew could happen is worthless for reputation building…
