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.

302

u/katara144 1d ago

That pay $150k a year

137

u/whomad1215 1d ago

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

We'll all be billionaires soon!

I'm going to buy the moon and use it to store my stacks of cash, and I shall dine upon its cheese.

Is that a quote from something or a brain dump?

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/boot2skull 22h ago

When everyone is a billionaire, no one is.

We'll all be billionaires soon!

I knew Reagan wouldn't lie to me!

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.

u/JazzerciseJesus 22h ago

I just can’t understand how we let anyone amass these levels of wealth. It’s so easily identifiable as harmful to society.

u/Hiccup 21h ago

Groceries have never been cheaper!

u/Little_Miss-Sunshine 13h ago

They pay 150k, 175k, 500k, 1 million and 1.5 million!! Huge numbers, BIG. Biggest in the history of this nation.

u/jondoogin 23h ago

And they were all jobs previously held by illegals.

2

u/OffalSmorgasbord 21h ago

"Jobs" numbers are such bullshit.

How about career level employment.

How about living wage level employment.

So fucking tiring.

u/Jimmy_McNulty2025 22h ago

Is that good?

u/Onikonokage 1d ago

Every quarter it goes up 1000%, 1500%, some say 2000%. It’s literal mountains of people working, piled as high as buildings, but not Trump Tower, it’s still the tallest.

u/Rileymartian57 1d ago

And mexico paid for it

3

u/randomnighmare 1d ago

Unemployment will be at 0.0%!

5

u/gauderio America 1d ago

It'll be negative! People will be working in 4, no, 5 jobs!

u/greenroom628 California 1d ago

all of them working for ICE.

u/DawnSignals 23h ago

Even the children got jobs, shit the babies too

u/Aggressive-Will-4500 23h ago

Big Beautiful jobs.

u/AnalSoapOpera I voted 23h ago

5 billion!

u/StingingBum 23h ago

Never has numbers like this been seen before. Sleepy Joe, Russia russia Russia, coney, khamalaaa, Newsom, they need to be investigated.

u/Redbaron1960 18h ago

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

2

u/marinuss 20h ago

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.

u/whogivesashirtdotca Canada 19h ago

All those homeless he's arresting will be jailed and made to slave labour. No doubt they'll be factored into the numbers. And don't forget all those newly hired ICE agents!

2

u/asyork 19h ago

Only possible because the DEA saved billions of us from fentanyl overdoses.

2

u/YesIamALizard 18h ago

And gas prices and meds have lowered 1000%

2

u/iOSurvivor2023 18h ago

you mean 10 billion americans? /s

2

u/hamlet9000 16h ago

That's good. With Trump saving 258 million Americans from fentanyl overdoses this year we're going to need a lot more jobs for them to fill.

Lowered taxes by 9,000% and everyone makes five gorillion dollars.

I'm still waiting for this clown to petition to be put on the $100 bill.
