Well, I know they won't call you. You seem entirely naive when it comes to actual checking your "facts"... I get that you don't trust leftist rags like "Reuters"... but even strict leftists like you should check the story even when it comes from a single source that is inaccessible and is written by the unions.

Well automation has been replacing people for years.
Ex. in 1973 I came back from the service . when I was in they expanded the auto plant I worked in and they had 9890 people working there.
We had 4 rear floor pan lines with an avg. of 110 people on a line , now they have 5 floor pan lines with an avg of 10 people on a line.
they went from that 9890 people down to about 780 people now and making just about all the same parts.
That is what just automation can do now add in AI and it could be less.
So what I am saying if companies do build new plants here in the US they will have a lot of automation and AI and not that many people doing the work.

And one more thing some people on here don't seem to understand it is going to take some time for Trump's tariffs to work through the system and for prices to start going up. From what I read economists are saying they could really start kicking in about mid/ end of AUG.
We will have to wait and see.

You just can't reason with a psycho.
 
Tbird19482 said:
For now.
We all have to sit back and see just what Trump's Tariffs do to it they all aren't in place yet.
As for the ones that are you can see prices of some items already going up, and people getting laid off.

Deny the good news and hope for bad news ; the left's mantra.
 
Tbird19482 said:
Keep believing that , as it has been said NOT all of Trump's tariffs are in place yet and when we work through the supply chain most of them will be passed on to the US consumer and prices will start going up and in some cases already have.
IT is the US consumer that will be paying most of the tariffs, the manufactures and exporters may eat some of them but with as high as Trump's tariffs are most of them will be passed on.
And then as I said a lot of importers and retailers will add a percent or two to pad their bottom line raising prices even higher.

Bullshit; hasn't happened so far ,despite what you and your "experts" have been squawking since Day One of Trump 2.0

Your own article even says the pessimism has been tempered because Trump chickened out on his global trade war and many of his tariffs.

Previous estimates of economic damage were based on the assumption that one could actually believe the words that Trump says and tweets.

Trump took the advice of liberals and retreated from his plans for global trade war.

Still so stupid you continue to call negotiation "chickening out";

You and the rest of the left are like petulant, ignorant children.


No wonder you voter for your fellow idiot, Harris.

The economists saw a better economy outlook because Trump Always Chickens Out.

The reason: The Journal’s previous survey was conducted at the height of the president’s threats to impose eye-watering tariffs on America’s biggest trading partners. He paused some of the tariffs shortly thereafter.

IOW he understands how to negotiate...unlike any leftist, anywhere.
 
  • Stronger-than-expected job growth: The economy added a robust 147,000 jobs in June, exceeding analyst forecasts. The unemployment rate dipped slightly to 4.1%, considered by some to be consistent with full employment.

  • GDP Revisions: While the initial estimate for first-quarter 2025 GDP showed a contraction, the third estimate revised the decline to 0.5%, with some analysts attributing this to tariff-related import surges rather than fundamental weakness. The Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model estimates second-quarter real GDP growth at 2.6%.
