I assume ‘70%’ refers to the portion of the tariff that will hit consumers come fall.
Updated for August. Apparently Goldman didn’t fire the guys doing this.

What’s the practical effect? This feels to me like the whole UN resolution condemning Putin thing… There’s no practical effect. Just more hot air.

It doesn’t end things itself but the mere fact that a small handful of republicans are putting country before party is encouraging. To me anyway.

The numbers aren’t any different than the first try at this, except this time McConnell was present.

Lot of missing data, so hard to take any conclusions. Numbers in BLUE are not up to date (mainly from end August rather then end Sept), as the US government shutdown means many data is not yet released.

September 2025 employment report from the BLS:
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm
Total nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 119,000 in September but has shown little change since April, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The unemployment rate, at 4.4 percent, changed little in September.
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised down by 7,000, from +79,000 to +72,000, and the change for August was revised down by 26,000, from +22,000 to -4,000. With these revisions, employment in July and August combined is 33,000 lower than previously reported.
So ... will anyone get fired this time for reporting these numbers?

I know you were being sarcastic, but coding...? Not really, with Gemini 3 coming out and "vibe coding" and "agentic coding", plus of course Claude Code and others... we really are on the edge of a cliff of just being a coder is no longer valuable. Weird to say. I have more to say but I'll shift it to the AI threads.

They can always learn to code.
Yeah, this is what I was concerned about. Do you think all of those populist union voters Trump courted are going to blame the actual policies? Or just blame Republicans?
