I know many claim things are better but the there are 0.97 open jobs to every 1 unemployed...Businesses are closing right and left..Banks are in trouble, repos are at record levels, Credit Card defaults are at atmospheric levels. Beginning to look like 1929...the beginnings of it anyway...Let them eat cake I guess...
October layoffs Amazon 30,000+ UPS 46,000 Target 1,800 Paramount 1,000 Applied Materials 1,400 Sika 1,800 And many more
And? Downsizing the federal workforce wasn’t going to be easy, but has to be done.
LMAO. So there it is...your food stamps may be gone because of the Schumer Shutdown.
What do you want Trump to break the law and spend money not allocated?
A NeverTrumper concern Troll speaks!
“upcoming SNAP cutoff”
There’s $5 billion of the $9 billion normally spent available.
Cap benefits at say $70/person/month.
“What do you want Trump to break the law and spend money not allocated?”
We have 47 million welfare queens, princes & princesses.
All Hollowheads Eve & Black Friday & Kristallnacht: October 31, 2025
90% are govt employees hired by the odoofus & slowjoe’s admin. Anyone remember when the only organization hiring was the federal govt? I do.
Did you know over half of those are immigrants? SNAP exploded when Biden brought in fake refugees.
It’s important to remind the lazy American on welfare that the immigrants are taking “their” money.
If you’re going to transition from what has effectively become a socialist economy to a capitalist economy, you’ve got to break a few eggs (and I’m one of the recently laid off).
Its called 4 years of Democrat leadership.
Next week is Election Day. We will see how voters feel about America. That’s really the only true barometer.
Your screen name is a complete reflection of you.
Total US employment has gone up every year since 2021.
Year Total Employed Persons (in thousands)
2021 158,000
2022 161,000
2023 162,000
2024 163,000
2025 163,394 (as of August)
So those 7 million people laid off must have gotten other jobs.
Total population over the same years:
Year Total Population
2020 331,449,281
2021 334,914,895
2022 333,271,411
2023 340,110,998
2024 341,814,420
2025 343,603,404
The population rose 8.5 million and the employed rose over 5 million.
Why is consumer sentiment high?
Why are company earnings high?
Why is unemployment low?
The real meaning of this is that 97% of all unemployment could be eliminated in a very short time.
That sounds pretty good to me. Are you in the 97% or in the 3%?
The shutdown probably won’t change the votes of most Dems or Repubs... but maybe the independents.
I am in dire straits myself now. I had to pay thousands in medical bills, and then one car repair took what I had left.
So far, I have never collected welfare or food stamps. But I do understand that sometimes people really just have a run of bad luck. Some of them are elderly, sick, or disabled.
I will never vote for a Democrat. But I’m fed up with both parties. Both the Dems and the GOP are out of touch.
They will get it all back, later.
It comes with government jobs.
So tell us what you think he is doing wrong.
Do you want him to sign $1.5 Trillion in additional illegal benefits to get a budget passed?
Well I think that it is quite crude to say something like that to anyone never mind someone you work with but knowing now that you are a Democrat troll I will not debate you.
Such a troll. Surprised you have not been zotted by Viking Kittehs. 😹😹🙀
Way to stand up for conservative principles.
