My partner’s company is laying off 18% of staff. This is happening pretty much across all companies working on government projects. It’s not so much a response to a recession but a response to government actions cutting funding, ending projects and programs etc. This will help trigger a recession which of course will be felt more in our area.

Well we know Gillibrand and Fetterman were going to vote for cloture and maybe others too so he had to cave I guess. But yeah seems pathetic

Republicans have no problem maintaining party unity but we seem to have issues

Kind of how I feel.

I mean let’s assume he can’t get 41 democrat senators to not vote for cloture. Then Schumer should resign.

^Chuck, If you are the general mcclellan of the us senate
deep cut

the Scott Galloway interview that came up next was pretty good

this line
"you could 6x the 'savings' that DOGE has uncovered to date by just removing the government subsidies to Tesla"

His silver lining was interesting...basically EU will become stronger and more united, the whole EU spends half of what the us spends on the military...because the US spends that much and they were an ally.  Now they will invest significantly in that sector and that will be an economic boon to the EU

I don’t consider defense spending really productive once you get to a certain point. And spending Europe does on defense will come out of some other spending so….


You might as well spend money paying people to dig ditches and then cover them up. Not all government spending is the same.

Now we are talking about efficiency, take out the middle man!
In the past they would have had a team evaluate the ditch location, then there would be environmental studies
then a beltway contracter would get an insane contract...which he'd likely sub out
after that we'd have to do the whole process over to cover it up

But if we had the same person dig it, then cover it up, think how much money we'd save
you should work at DOGE

also FTR, Galloways comment was more that 'If I had to find one silver lining of all this maga insanity"
but I do think defense spending typically helps the economy, but you are the economist here


chuck you cuck

anytime Trump complements you on a 'good move' he is really saying 'what a sucker'

Well it can help…I get that but it’s not as productive as spending on any number of other things..

No…I don’t consider myself an economist but thank you.
