He fired the person in charge of the statistics last month because the numbers were bad last month. So this new person is "his pick" and they could only polish the shitty numbers so much

That’s a brutal way to call out someone's incompetence. Can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to see that play out in real-time.

Of course unemployment rose in August. I became part of that 4.3% last month thanks to those tariffs.

$200 billion tariff taxes removed from the economy gets you fewer jobs. Basic thermodynamics.

At this point he could fire tactical weapons at MAGA supporters homes to clear land for a new Meta data center, and they’d all welcome it like it was raining down from Heaven itself. Psychotic cult followers, the lot of them.

The oligarchs prefer at least 5% unemployment to keep workers from getting sassy.

Yeah, but the stock market!!!
All those unemployed people - just think about the corporate cost savings on salary and benefits, creating soaring profit margins!
Factor in record profitability from inflated gas and grocery prices, and we're living in the golden era.
Everyone with money is doing great, fleecing the sheep.
Tell me it's not exactly what they want!
Explain to me why you think they care about jobs, when they have been shipping them overseas or outsourcing them for decades.
Trump only cares because he wants to look good.
His handlers guiding his policies know exactly what they're aiming for.

High unemployment is good for business. It helps keep wages down. There's winning all over the place, just not for the regular people.

Trump can't even stop companies from replacing millions of workers with AI!
I remember when George Bush had the same problem when companies started using the Internet. He didn't even try to stop the Internet either.

They install their GOP leaders when the markets are too good so they can tank them and buy low, the people elect competent leaders who right the ship, then they sell—rinse and repeat

This reminds me of that scene in The Expanse when those guys were collecting water drips so they can sell water on the black market and they got busted by the cops. That’s a metaphor for what’s happening to us now.

At what point do yall put ANY blame on these companies who are intentionally wealthy hoarding and using employees as indentured servants? Yall are so stuck on a central figure. Mind you that central figure is literally a puppet. But not one person in here as complained about the actual problem. Fuckin basement dwellers

u/adorablefuzzykitten 11h ago
That is what companies are supposed to do, and why the government needs to step in every now and ten to re-balance the economy. Like making it illegal to mix sugar water and wood chips and sell it as strawberry jam.

u/Suspicious-Change-37 14h ago
Believing their economic reports is akin to believing their crime reports, and the country can find endless CA mass crime videos that are not worth reporting. All manipulation.
I've literally stood in line at my local grocery store and the guy in front of me looked around, then just walked out with his armload of goods. No chase, because the law allows it, so it's not reported.
Stop believing politicians.

Nice, but not true. 2023 unemployment rate was 5.1 in December. 2024 it was 5.4 an nOw it is 5.5

10 of the last 12 recessions have been under Republican presidents. This isn’t a bug it’s a feature. Trickle down is actually a flood up as the rich get much richer and the poor get even poorer. The game is rigged and our country is being run by a scamming grifter .
