Agree. Over half of new businesses fail within 10 years of starting operations. Banks generally charge a high rate to these borrowers and require a ton of collateral. Most new business owners should be admired for their courage.

Living off the handouts they got, pulling the ladder up behind them as they go.
They don’t care about the stock market. Or kids in cages. Or egg prices. Or secure borders. Or the working class.
It’s just shit they say to get their smoothbrain drones worked up. This thread has several of them.
Ole warrior cat, your orange general bailed on the troops coming back home to go play golf with saudis.
Now that there aren’t any photo ops needed to get elected he doesn’t care about the troops or you and your fellow veterans.
You’re just “suckers” to him.
^^^prime example. The guy you’re responding to can’t question what he’s told. The job numbers because a running joke to any literate person.
And yet he’s using it as an excuse for…something. Maybe it’s the guy he supported that had dementia.
That’s all it ever is from them, all it ever can be, from the top down.
If they aren’t making bad faith arguments, they aren’t making their “argument.”

Man the left really can’t meme.
Maybe the guy who is a billionaire and you’re saying filed bankruptcy 5 times while still becoming a billionaire and becoming president of the United States is the exact guy you want negotiating for your side.
If he can stick China with the tab while making America wildly successful like he did personally, I’ll take it.
they should help personally, you dumbass ... stealing tax money to buy votes and power is NOT charity. Compassion >>>> Compulsion. Seems like you don't know the difference...most libs don't.
Here is when the Dow didn’t matter. It all depends on what they have to gain. They have no scruples, no principles.
I understand her helping them out but they started expecting it going forward. I also helped my mother and stepfather out with bills. Even paid the taxes and some payments on the land they owned. After my mother died, me and one other brother paid for the funeral since my stepfather took the money out of an already paid for funeral by another brother. He squandered money and never saved a dime. I gave him 5K after her death to help him build a deck around his trailer and he took that money, bought a derelict RV with the intent on fixing it up and ask me for some more money for the deck. Fool me once...
His trailer burned down not long after along with the RV parked next to it and he bought a new trailer with the insurance money and then ask for money again for to build a deck around that. Nope.
This is the problem with many youth and all of the modern day left. One sentence sums it all. Congrats ...lefty.
These number were in the low 200 to mid 200s. Just like the Biden years. Revisions up and down are nothing new. Trumps previous month was revised down.
You assholes swore that 6 feet and experimental vaccines could stop an airborne virus. You think the government can control weather and that males can menstruate.
You had your chance. It’s over. You can’t get the stain of idiocy off of you. You reek of it.
I promise you, nobody here or across the country gives a shit what you think anymore.
Nanshee preaching MAGA back in '96. Proof that the dem constituency either A) has a goldfish memory and an attention span shorter than their own phallus, or B) just does as they're told.
Gee, I wonder how that happened. Almost like somebody shut everything down and fired people for not obeying the new religion science. Wonder who was calling those shots?
You mean the economy that floats the entire rest of the world didn't fall as far as the laundry lists of countries' economies it subsidizes? The hell you say.
Are you Ivy League educated, by chance?
We can have an honest and nuanced debate about tariffs. Let's do that.
"These policies are basically going to make quality of life worse for Americans"
The end goal of these policies is to bring back manufacturing and production to the US. This means jobs, higher wages and benefits. I wont even go into the national security argument as you obviously have zero concern. Trump's policies have coerced over $1T in new manufacturing investments in only 2 months.
"Over the last 40 years the American economy, has prospered and lifted billions of other people worldwide out of poverty."
You are correct that our trade policies have created a ton of wealth for other countries. However, over the last 40 years the US has lost over 90,000 manufacturing plants, an estimated 6.7M jobs.
The loss of blue collar specialists jobs has resulted in stagnant wages for much of the middle and lower middle class. They have lost purchasing power and with the rise of inflation resulting in higher shelter, food, and healthcare costs leaving them and their families underwater. Where is your concern for them?
"The long term effects of these tariffs is going to be the world moving on without the US."
The US has a nominal GDP over 28T, our consumer market sets global trends and standards. The US dollar is the world's reserve currency. The majority of global trade is priced and settled in dollars. Other countries will not accept Mexican Pesos in exchange for their products. The US dollar provides global stability. There is no "moving on without the US".
"We aren’t trustworthy anymore as a trade partner"
This makes no sense. The US has not lied to other countries. Trump was very upfront with trading partners. He gave them a window of time to negotiate and lower their unfair tariffs on US manufacturers. It is interesting that you find our people untrustworthy when other countries have treated us so poorly economically.
"We will have less because we don’t have the human capital necessary to produce the wealth of goods and services we are accustomed to."
The argument that the U.S. lacks the human capital to produce wealth and goods domestically, forcing reliance on foreign countries, doesn’t hold up when you look at the country’s workforce, innovation track record, and economic output. The U.S. has the talent, skills, and capacity to generate substantial wealth and goods—its dependence on imports is more a choice driven by cost, policy, and global trade dynamics than a fundamental deficiency in human capital.
US labor productivity (GDP per hour worked) ranks at the top almost doubling Japan and 50% higher than the EU.
The 167 million in the U.S. workforce is highly skilled and productive. Over 57 million have bachelor's degrees or higher.
Germany, a manufacturing powerhouse, has 83M people total and far less with degrees. In fact we have more workers and and a larger share of degree holders of any country.
The US leads in innovation, a key driver of wealth and goods production, US patents per year number higher than the rest of the world combined.
The US has the people and the skills, it is just not always cheaper.
"The first step in making us poorer is erasing the projected future earnings of our companies."
Earnings are tied to real economic activity. Short term market volatility will not erase projected future earnings. That would require a cascade of effects. Companies with cash will take full advantage of the current decline. Earnings more than rebounded even with the 1987 Black Monday Dow drop.
"He next step is going to be as actual products prices go up and products start disappearing from our shelves."
What a looney left talking point. Let us know which products those will be so we can all stock up.
"Trading software engineers for tee shirt makers basically."
An unsurprising degradation, by the left again, towards skilled blue collar workers.
"I am disheartened by the glee you all seem to have in peoples suffering."
Minor short term price increases on some products will not cause suffering. Lack of good paying jobs is way more damaging.
"Leaders who see the world as a game of stealing prosperity from others are the problem with the world not the solution."
The fact that you are ok with leaders of other countries doing what is best for their citizens but consider it shameful that our President does the same for us is certainly a take. A bad one, an embarrassing one.
"Also I’m not a patriot."
So many of you on the Left are not patriots. Your disdain for the country is why your political party has a 21% approval rating and still dropping.

They are addicted to it.
We are the source of their cognitive dissonance, they just don't realize it.
The lefties who are completely opposed to Trump so they now oppose tariffs “well akshually”ing the calculations of tariffs as if they’re anything but arbitrary is one of the more hilarious parts of all this.
No one gives a shit how they would have calculated tariffs.
Re-watching that Pelosi video, another interesting part is where she references the "Tiananmen Square Massacre."
That's a big Dem no-no these days.
That's a big Dem no-no these days.
If there’s only 10 transgender athletes as one poster has asserted, this shouldn’t take too long….
Other than the lefties on here, those are some of the most miserable people I've ever seen.
While at the same time, pining for higher corporate taxes. That is a special kind of stupid.
On another note, not even Nostradamus could have foreseen that Vince McMahon's WIFE would save public education. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 That is indescribably hilarious, and a sublime kick in the coin purse to the left.
THe idea was that we would bring freedom and democracy to them through trade, by making them wealthy.
Instead, it was the inverse... they brougth their totalitarianism to us (the left).
Nancy Pelosi's dad was pretty much the head of organized crime in Baltimore IIRC. She denies it though, and said he was just an honest, hardworking man, that ran the shipping ports.
"ran the shipping ports..." Might as well have said that he worked in Sanitation management. 🤣

Guys, it's all true because I read it in my Project 2025 handbook.

Yeah, I enjoy at times reading these "teachers" inputs. I had a supervisor who taught college courses at night. I had never-ending issues with him as he'd spend an eight hour day trying to have my people prepare instructions and explain to leadership in depth what we were doing and why, and how... Just horrible to any production environment, or any environment for that matter unless it is a training environment...
I'd pull most of them back into working telling the dunce unless we went to a sixteen hour day stay the crap out of my area. (Operations).... He still has no concept...... Usable documentation is fine.....
While I agree, you have too much time on your hands. In stating that, I'd help anyone that needs help if I can and it doesn't hurt my family but in the decades I have been posting here, I have NEVER and I mean NEVER seen one of these trolls, bots, troublemakers (One of the worst things I can call anyone is a troublemaker.) change their ways or thoughts, or their interactions. Just me and I am just posting to post as you are grown and can do what you want. (You could, if not, I'd be surprised, make money doing what you do for these types free... Take care and I do hope you will not take offense...

Of course they want fraud. They all want fraud, pub and dem alike. That is how they all got rich. How does someone on a $150K a year salary become a multimillionaire in five years? AOC couldn't afford a house before she was elected, now she wears 5K pants suits. They are corrupt AF and have stolen billions from taxpayers through back channels like USAID.
Fyi in Louisville distillery/museum district a throng of hands off bastards are disrupting business by blocking sidewalks and chanting their scripted bs.
This is on trump. Couldve squashed usaid when they had the chance but pulled back. Let them reform and reorganize. Now it will be hell in every city in America until the weather turns cold. In a few weeks it will be riots added to the mix.
He will now be helpless to stop it because they can organize their lawfare and bog him down.
Will completely knee cap his entire term and it was totally avoidable.

GP and make no mistake, they are Communists... saying they are "socialist's" or whatever, if they were not scared of their own shadows, they'd try physically forcing this stuff on America... Instead, they sue, sue, sue and make laws and regs via backdoor add-ons to bills and such that seem harmless and then tell people about it .......afterwards... I mean, they never had time to read it...
You’re missing out. If you like the outdoors, Utah might be my favorite state. Has it all…mountains, desert, canyons. Truly spectacular

Again you blue sky twinks with the terrible memes. Who ever said Trump was bluffing about implementing tariffs? That’s been the plan all along.
If you’re going to try and mock someone, you can’t just make up retarded shit.
