Slowed?! Its going backwards. We lost 31k jobs last quarter. That’s jobs lost before trumps tariffs hit the report and way before his budget bill hits. And that’s not counting losses due to deportations. Year one not even in the books, and we are on pace to lose 1m jobs yall. It’ll exponentially increase as his bad decision find out phase come to collect.
