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?

I co-worker at work literally just showed me this to say that Trump's tariffs are working and the economy is doing great. But once I start quizzing his ass about how tariffs truly work and micro/macro economics he started copping pleas that he's not an economist and just wants lower interest rates to buy a new truck....these Trump voter are just dumb man. I'm going to show him these job report numbers and see if he still feels this way

Don't bother. You're literally wasting your breath.

To be fair, it's not like they could've anticipated social media and how dumb/reactionary/bigoted it makes people.

IMO it's the root cause of a lot of dysfunction in society. At this point I'm convinced the human brain isn't equipped to deal with it:francis: I think most people old enough to remember the world pre-social media would agree, it wasn't really like this in the 2000s. There were always stupid/racist people but the Internet just makes it too easy for them to congregate and spread their BS.

I will bet my account.. I will take a life time ban if you want. We are getting a rate cut. I believe one of the BIGGEST reasons Trump wanted to gut federal jobs was to force a cut. His economy will NEVER shift the direction he wants without the cuts.
Powell doesn't gaf what Trump wants so long as he's still the chair. Dude got crucified for the high inflation after COVID. He's not making any moves to appease someone for the short term. Trump's idiot tariffs are going to have him holding out on any cuts
