US HIRING COOLS
ONLY 73,000 jobs were created last month, lower than expectations and a sign of a slowing US economy under the Trump regime.

And the crap's about to really hit the fan with prices. Retailers bought excess stock in the hope the madness would stop, but that's run out. Trump, incredibly, has been yelling at corporations to eat the cost and not raise prices, but of course that's not going to happen.
AND he just did the ballroom thing AND he doesn't want to allow elections. This is a recipe for mass unrest, and the military already made it clear they won't shoot us for this guy.

I tried to post this on ask reddit but, i was filtered. no chance.
I got banned from /r/Palestine for calling out pro-Trump obvious foreign election interference. As in, brand new accounts during the 2024 campaign that posted dozens of pro-Trump articles to /r/Palestine with no other site activity.
I had a fourteen-year history of posting in support of Palestinian liberation and against the occupation and genocide.
Funnily enough, I also got banned from /r/politics for a pro-Palestine comment.
What I take from all this is that reddit is a shithole and not worth getting worked up over. Fuck that site and all the astroturfing pro-genocide monsters on world news and the rest of it.

Fox News Dedicated More Time to Sydney Sweeney Jeans Ad Than Trump-Epstein Scandal
The network only spent three minutes on Epstein this past week.TV Insider
Truly a fantastic source of "news" coming from the self proclaimed "entertainment" channel and certainly not to be mistaken as news channel (as they have said about themselves).
As it's been decreed: delete fox "news" from your parents TV.
A news article in 2022 stated that around one hundred thousand new original songs are uploaded to streaming services every single day.
Every single day.

I wish I'd known about you when CCHits.net was still running.
I'm blown away by just *how much* engagement, or just plain giving, I'm always seeing from you on here.
If it ever feels like you're screaming into the void, just remember that there are always the silent ones watching, grateful, and celebrating, even if it's not out loud.

in reply to Nonilex • • •The unexpectedly weak report raises questions about the health of the job market & the #economy as #Trump pushes forward with a radical & erratic overhaul of American #trade #policy, imposing hefty #tariffs on imports from almost every country on earth.
The #unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2% last month from 4.1% in June. The number of people in the #labor force – those working & looking for work – fell modestly last month, & the ranks of the unemployed rose by 221,000.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Manufacturers cut 11,000 #jobs last month after shedding 15,000 in June & 11,000 in May. The #FederalGovernment, where #employment has been targeted by the #Trump admin, lost 12,000 jobs. Jobs in administration & support fell by nearly 20,000.
Healthcare companies added 55,400 jobs last month – accounting for 76% of the jobs added in July & offering another sign that recent job gains have been narrowly concentrated.

in reply to Nonilex • • •The #StockMarket tumbled on the news.
The current situation is a sharp reversal from the hiring boom of just 3 years ago when desperate employers were handing out signing bonuses & introducing perks such as Fridays off, fertility benefits & even pet insurance to recruit & keep workers.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Weighing on the #labor market are the lingering effects of higher #InterestRates that were used by the #FederalReserve to fight #inflation; Trump’s massive import taxes & the costs & uncertainty they are imposing on businesses; & an anticipated drop in foreign #workers as Trump’s massive #deportation plans move forward.

in reply to Nonilex • • •I lost my job without warning about 2.5 months ago. I've been applying to every single job in my industry that I'm qualified for that's been posted within a 70 mile radius and I've had a single interview so far. Some weeks I've not been able to find any new jobs to apply for! This job market *sucks*
Fortunately one of my old workplaces brought me back part time as a contractor and they've been handing me more and more work so I've been ramping up my hours there over the past two months and I'm finally up to an amount of hours where I can coast for a while and maybe actually splurge some too. No benefits and I'll be the first to go if they decide that they need to shed labor again, but it could be a lot worse!
