WTF!
Hiring just hit the lowest level since 2009.Only 204,939 hires so far in 2025.
That’s a 58% collapse YoY.
Worse than anything since the financial crisis.The data’s out there… and no one’s ready to admit what it means.
No data = no panic… right?

The job market is atrocious now and inflation is rising. That’s going to have some consequences politically and socially.
I love crash zooms.
I know the pain. Often, I succumb. I try to be better. But I’m not.
About the ancient, “Men only want one thing and it’s disgusting” tweet from ages ago, I never figured out why sex was supposed to be disgusting in the first place. Or is the disgusting part that men only want one thing? Not sure how that should trigger disgust either, frankly, in several different senses.
Anyway, any woman who believes that just needs to think (as it’s what’s actually occurring): “Men only want one thing from me because I am boring and have nothing else to offer, and that’s pretty disgusting.”
Sad but true.
Painting your opponents as stupid, believing they are stupid and yet you still lose to them…what does that make you?
Seems like a bad way to do things. “My adversary is a dumbass but beats me every time.” Dude, this isn’t middle school. No one cares that you tried really hard. Winning is what matters. Doing the thing is the crux; all else is fluff and failure.
When someone outperforms me in an area where I typically excel, you know what I say? I say, “They must be really good to have done that.”
Because being beaten by idiots makes me worse than an idiot. Which the Dems and libs seem content to loudly announce over and over again.
Despite what’s happening in the USA, renewables are winning globally.
Of course. They are cheaper now, and getting cheaper all the time. Only complete doofs like us want to pay more for something shittier in every way to “own the libs.”
Women are taking pay cuts as companies mandate return to office. And evil in-office work is so much more unproductive too.
