Oh no the tariffs! Wait, you mean to tell me jobs are increasing? The economy is improving? There’s no way legacy media is lying! This report was only affected by the news of tariffs being implemented. They were yet to be in effect. Economic growth, for America, is only going to go up not down. Yes prices of goods and services may fluctuate overall but they will adjust and stabilize with time. Remember folks short term pain; long term gain.
1 question. Is unemployment benefits affected by D.O.D.G.E. cuts? Most of those people are not fired but they receive severance pay packages. (more like they’re laid off I guess?) If so the unemployment benefit numbers are somewhat skewed.
