    Meanwhile, all those college grads got a little more competition. Welp, there’s a shortage of farm workers.

    US private sector lost 33,000 jobs in June, missing expectations for an increase of 115,000

    The US private sector lost jobs in June, the first negative month in more than two years, according to new data Wednesday from payroll provider ADP.

    US employers lost an estimated 33,000 jobs, according to ADP’s monthly national employment report.

    Economists were expecting ADP’s report to show a net gain of 115,000 jobs, according to FactSet.

    The losses were driven largely by stalled hiring plans, Nela Richardson, chief economist for ADP said.

    “Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month,” she said in a statement. “Still, the slowdown in hiring has yet to disrupt pay growth.”

    ADP’s tabulations don’t always correlate with the official federal jobs report — for example, ADP’s March 2023 reading was eventually revised down to a net loss of 53,000 jobs, while the official jobs data shows a net gain of 48,000 private-sector jobs of the overall 85,000 jobs added (largely due to a 30,000-job lift then from state and local governments).

    However, the trajectory of what ADP reports is sometimes looked to as a proxy for overall hiring and wage growth activity. At the time, March 2023 marked the slowest monthly gain since a decline in December 2020.

    When the latest employment snapshot from the Department of Labor is released Thursday at 8:30 a.m. ET (one day early due to the July 4th holiday), economists expect it to show that 115,000 jobs were added in June. That’s a pullback from the 139,000 initially estimated for May, according to FactSet.

    Reading the big beautiful bill. 25,000 cap on no tax on tips and 12,500 cap on no tax on overtime.  That sure doesn’t sound like no tax to me.  I guess someone has to pay for the billionaires.

    WTF?  This could seal the deal for the "beautiful bill".  

    Democratic leader holds House floor for seven hours to delay Republican-led vote on Trump’s major tax bill – live


    JD Vance has said an undecided Republican congressman texted to him to say Jeffries’ marathon speech drove him to a “firm yes” on Trump’s domestic policy bill.

    Sometimes I just want to stop caring.  No more news.  No more AMT.  No more social media.  Just keep an eye on Watch Duty during the worst of fire season, go hide, and wait for the end of the world.

    If only I could just not care anymore.

    Remember who owns this. It’s repubs.

    Overall, the bill is projected to increase the national debt by $3.3 trillion over a decade, with the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office finding that the revenue losses of $4.5 trillion outstrip the spending cuts of $1.2 trillion. The bill also increases the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

    Exactly. We don't care that Joey Fallnuts was in severe cognitive decline, he was old. It impacts some people sooner than others. We saw it for ourselves the last 2 years of his Presidency.  Should have been one and done, then run a primary.  But Democrats and the Liberal media tried to bamboozle the public and say he was fine.  Yeah he wasn't.  And then tried to force Kamala (who no one liked or wanted) on us.  We didn't become Trump voters; we just left the Democratic party.  You need to get us back.

    Pro Tip:  Constantly accusing people who don't agree with you on every single thing of being racist, sexist, trans & homophobic, xenophobic (did I miss any of the victim cards in the deck?), turned millions of us away.  That WILL change, or you WILL keep losing elections.
