The U.S. just saw the highest level of monthly layoffs since the pandemic — driven by DOGE cuts, AI, and corporate concerns over Trump's tariffs. "New Golden Age" for whom, exactly? https://www.newsweek.com/us-hits-highest-layoffs-since-covid-2111794

Now that our economy is responding to Trump's tariffs and that Big Billionaire Bill, his 35% or so hardcore zombie like supporters don't have Biden to blame and don't seem to blame Trump either.

My job depends on the wine industry in northern CA. Lots of wineries are struggling. Lots of layoffs and pending bankruptcies. Wine is often seen as “upscale”, so it gets hit when upscale folks have to cut back. But the folks making the wine (and losing money) are farmers, not snooty gazillionaires.

And those big wineries are buying up two-buck a barrel stuff from all over the world and blending it with the superior local stuff. As long as it’s 51% California product, they can call it California wine. Local growers make better wine, but they’re getting undercut by the Walmarts of the wine biz.

It also depends on permits. 50 states, 50 sets of rules. Some permits let you sell wine to individual customers. Some let you ship wine to individual states. Some let you sell wine to stores. The bigger the winery, the more permits they have, and the broader their reach. Bigger is NOT better. Lol
