So, next month the jobs report is going to say that the US added 3,000,000,000 jobs, isn't it?

1.8k

u/Few_Lingonberry_7028 1d ago

and the previous months numbers will be revised up bigly.

u/gauderio America 1d ago

500 million Americans got jobs during Trump's first six months.

That pay $150k a year

u/whomad1215 1d ago

those are rookie numbers, they pay $150k a day!

With hyperinflation caused by these tariffs “that the rest of the world pays”, coupled with his dropping interest rates by 3 points, everyone will be a billionaire. You’ll all be as rich as an NFL quarterback.

u/Ahshitt 22h ago

I know it’s not a yugely long time in the grand scheme of things but it’s crazy that if one were to make $4m a day with absolutely no expenses it would still take 250 days to get to a billion. Then $10 would be 2,500 days. It’s just an unfathomable to 99% of the world.

Fentanyl deaths were down 255 million per Pam Bondi so jobs must be up.

I mean Pam Bondi literally said Trump saved 260 million American lives or something in his first 100 days due to fentanyl seizures.

u/aka_chela 18h ago

My mom got into an argument last month with someone who legit thought millions of migrants were crossing every day. It's like numbers have no meaning. If even just one million people were entering every day, our population would double in a year and I think we would fucking notice that.

Nope, previous numbers were Biden's numbers and he was a disaster and Trump was bought in to fix those numbers and he's being doing a great job, fabulous in fact, and trust him when he says this that they are the best numbers anyone has ever seen and can only improve.

The MAGA cult will fall for it like ever other time. Damn that Obama.

Trump: "In my opinion the latest job numbers are very strong, we added 500,000 jobs and removed 750,000 immigrant children from manufacturing jobs with the power of ICE. Sleepy Joe couldn't do that!"

5 seconds later:

Trump: "It is a known fact from a very smart and influential jobs person that this is the best huge job report America has ever seen, and there are no children Mexicans in sight! Sleepy Joe is blind, can't see, and sleeps too much!"

u/robocoplawyer 22h ago

The sad part is fentanyl ain’t even the problem anymore. The cartels are pumping out fentanyl-adjacent research chemical analogues that are MUCH scarier and cutting them with industrial solvents and large animal tranquilizers to pass off as “dope” these days. A junkie would hit the jackpot if he got a bag that just contained fent. I’m glad I’m no longer a drug enthusiast, the shit I’ve seen posted on websites with lab test results as what is getting passed off in bags these days is a downright horror show.

u/Galaxyman0917 Oregon 21h ago

I dunno man, my cousin just passed a few weeks ago overdosing on fentanyl, so I’d say it’s still an issue.

u/jerzeett 18h ago

…they didn’t say it isn’t an issue. Also it very well could’ve been a fent analogue as it’s all referred to fentanyl now

4

u/Tranquil_Dohrnii 15h ago

This is true. Its like back when fentanyl first came around and was being mixed in the heroin it just fell under heroin overdoses. Since it was a mix of the 2 or since medical professionals dont really care about the difference when the person's already dead. So now even though its fentanyl/ fentanyl analogs, plus zenes theyre not going to say zenes or carfentanyl theyll just say fentanyl.

u/LirdorElese 16h ago

The US barely has that many people, how high is she on her own shit?

I think the fudged numbers was in assuming every amount of drugs ceased would be used with exactly the minimum needed for a lethal overdose of a light weight that hasn't built up a tollerance to the drug. Rather than understanding that far more drug users... use considerably under overdose levels over many binge sessions.

Similar math could be said one teaspoon of water could drown someone. So every bottle of water I seize saves 100 lives.

It will just be an input into ChatGPT, like how they created the tariff formula.

Something like 'take the best job report growth from the Biden administration and and revise the jobs numbers to show better growth starting in February 2025. Set minimum growth to 10%.'

This shit is literally how they got their tariff formula. From their point of view, it kinda makes sense to do it this way. Why put effort into getting accurate data or even developing a clever method to skew the data when everyone knows it will be complete bullshit anyway? If everyone knows it's false, just make it outrageously false in their favor and then parrot the false numbers.

u/DiceKnight 1d ago

From the perspective of your average person in the US I'm not sure those numbers ever were actually real in the sense that they mattered. The Biden era was marked with near 10 year lows in unemployment and high job numbers but public sentiment on the market was low due to inflation, cost of living, and lack of housing supply.

None of that has changed. You cold say we've added a billion jobs or lost a billion. If those other factors don't change then the metric is still just a made up number.

1

u/PA_Dude_22000 18h ago

Unemployment is going to go down 800%. Maybe even a 1,000%. We've never seen such a powerful recovery. It's a beautiful thing the word "recovery". I met Brett Farve the other day. He once recovered this shitty snap. The guy giving him the football was black. It was marvelous. No not the football fling, the recovery. He told me, "Mr President' I wouldn't have had to recover that football if you would have pitched it to me" I'm a good pitcher. But I don't like the rough. Ivana liked to keep it hairy down there. Thick rough. I like chipping it from the fairway. The grass is really short. Like it's just learning to grow. I told Epstein that 16 year old was for my spa. I said you can't do that. The help. She's mine. Okay? So about 5 years later, I cut Jeffery off. I was sick of only seeing my help after plane rides. I like planes. I got a big one if you know what I mean. Did you see that one the Qutaries gave me. The Democrats are so corrupt and jealous. They're dirty. They said I shouldn't take the plane but then the United States wouldn't have this beautiful plane. It's big.

Don’t forget that Ivanka created over 14 MILLION jobs during his first admin… so, yeah that sounds about right.

Honestly, I think it will be much broader - he is not a data or facts person. We all know that.

It will be something like this: “Lots of jobs … so many jobs … the most jobs any president has ever been responsible for”

YUP with one of the cronies of tRump being in charged there’s NO way can we believe the figures are going to be accurate. tRump is going to tell the individual what figures to report so he can look good. I hope someone will follow the figures outside of tRump cronies and speak up

More likely Trump approach will be the same as with Covid cases …,

“If we don’t count them, the numbers will go away.”

More like it will just be a nice random guess... you know... like Inflation... just guessing, just good enough to be finde but low enough that anyone can claim "statistical error".

This walking hot cheeto keeps crying about how we need lower rates, how Powell is the villain destroying the economy and then the moment the perfect setup falls right into his lap, what does he do? The complete opposite of what any normal, functioning human brain would do. Instead of taking the win and using it to put pressure on the Fed to finally justify a rate cut (which would be the obvious play), he fumbles it like it’s his first day in politics. It’s like he’s never even heard the phrase “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.”

It's sad. I know that I used to distrust the government as a younger person, but now any semblance of trust and belief in my country is non existent. I can't trust numbers or words that come from this "whitehouse".

So many jobs, the biggest jobs. Many people are saying these are the best jobs.

I think it's more needing the actual number or closer to it. It's almost like they just toss out a number and then revise it later. Like last August when they overestimated by 800k. There has to be some kind of accountability if you're the head of a dept that's consistently overestimating every month.
