I’m not an economist, so maybe you can help… Would good jobs at now-paused battery plants have counted?

And not a dime of the money the Tech Bros at the Trump frat party last night will provide sustained blue collar employment. His base is losing its ability to self sustain as well as the safety net they will then depend on.

You know it takes a lot of work to turn around a big ship and our economy was steaming along so well under Biden. You really have to admire ( is that the word for it?) how quickly Trump has sent us back the other way. Titanic hits Trump Iceberg....

Markets open, read jobs number. Yay rate cut coming. BUY! Think a bit further and see a recession is coming. SELL!

All those workers have to do is wait two short years until Trump's manufacturing boom kicks in, so just tell them to pause their bills until 2027. No big deal.

Yeah, it turns out a vast campaign of performative Nazi terror, sadism, and self-destruction is actually really *bad* for the economy --along with everything else. Who could've guessed?

Is this a quiz? I'm going with "what are aluminum and steel tariffs?" I think those materials might be needed for manufacturing, you know, things.
