U.S. economy only adds 73,000 jobs in July 2025; Big downward revision (258,000 jobs!) for previous two months; Trump fires Commissioner of BLS

Are the tariffs and federal government cuts hurting?

Another thing: Vegas used to be a place many people took their families.

People are having less families. Additionally costs for families don’t make things like Vegas trips easy.

Yes, all comes back to our economy and cost of living being absolutely shytty.

I also want to mention Trump failed to make money running a casino. A casino. Only fitting Vegas folding under dude’s administration :mjlol::heh:

Trump antagonized much of the world tourists who can afford to come to Vegas and blow money.

Every time I’ve been to Vegas I saw a bunch of tourists from Latin America, Asia, Canada and Europe. Trump has basically pissed off the entire world and made what used to be a safe welcoming destination into a hostile environment.

Especially the chinese. They have replaced Amercicans and Brits as the formost tourist group on Earth. they normally mob up in their own tour busses ,with their own tour groups and buy hotel reservations, atraction tickets, and food in bulk.

I live in a resort town and i have noticed a huge decrease in Chinese tour busses since Trump won the election. I cant help but wonder if Beijiing is actively deterring their citizens from taking trips to Amereican destinations like Vegas

He's running the US economy into the ground like he did all his company ventures..and there's no one to stop him.

At this point it must feel like working at Trump steaks or Trump airline :francis:

If these reports are used to guide policy and support business decisions, then he should have been fired for such bad initial data. In 2025 with AI, this antiquated method of posting jobs data then waiting 90 days for the adjustment is ridiculous.
Or
The labor director is yet another entrenched deep state plant hell-bent on undermining the administration and saving democracy.

Just kidding.
Oh, she WAS incompetent!

JPMorgan is now predicting the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates when it next meets in September — and four times overall before the end of the year — as pressure mounts to ease monetary policy.

The nation’s largest bank, led by Jamie Dimon, expects a quarter-point cut after the Fed’s two-day meeting on Sept. 16-17, followed by three more cuts of the same size at their remaining meetings — which would bring the benchmark rate down to a range between 3.25% and 3.5%.


3.5% just in time for Christmas :eat:

They might cut it or they might not. They are still talking about inflation is a major concern and some economists think there should actually be a rate increase, because tariffs will ultimately cause more inflation due to prices being forced upward. Additionally cheap money from lower interest rates will just cause people to spend even more which will drive up inflation.

I hope that you get your rate cut so that you can refinance your mortgage and calm the Hell down. The bigger issue as I see it though is that we have a President that is financially illiterate and we will have hard times here for a while.

When I told you Trump gutted the federal jobs to get lower rates I meant it. That was just a piece of the sacrifice for a bigger play.. Lower rates will give him the economy he wants.

That's a crazy approach, because it also leads to layoffs in the private sector and then we go into recession. There has already been 806,000 layoffs so far this year in the United States. That is Covid level stuff and there have only been 7 months in the year so far. A rate cut will cement stagflation which will be great on top of unemployment and a recession.

"Don't get cute with us." As Trump took a victory lap at the groundbreaking for a $10 billion Foxconn plant in Wisconsin, he had a stern message for Harley-Davidson: "Please build those beautiful motorcycles in the United States." https://cnn.it/2z2loj9

I have a message for the president, stop you’re terrified wars. That’s the only way Harley Davidson will be able to continue making their beautiful motorcycles here in America.

Trump’s not wrong. Harley Davidson’s international appeal stems mostly from the fact that they are “classic American bikes.”

The school of Wharton (Enron accounting fame?) told Trump to give Foxconn $4 billion in tax credits and then put tariffs in place to piss off the world then praise Russia/Korea. Then kidnap children from their mothers/families. Cancel NATO, NAFTA and increase debt. a$$hole.

They say the earliest Wisconsin will get their money back is in 2042-2043. That’s if everything goes perfectly. If someone had a guaranteed investment opportunity for you would you give someone $10,000 knowing the earliest you’d get your money back is in 25 years? I wouldn’t.
