Wow, aren't those tariffs working great?

Factory job cuts in June neared financial crisis and Covid levels, S&P says

“While there is better news from the manufacturing sector, we remain concerned as factory growth continues to be temporarily buoyed by inventory building amid supply fears. Supply delays grew more widespread in June,” said Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

“Most worrying was the further fall in employment, notably in the manufacturing sector,” Williamson said. “Factory job cuts are running at the highest since 2009 if the pandemic is excluded, reflecting concerns over the sustainability of the recent upturn in demand alongside worries over the escalating cost of raw materials.”

Paging Baghdad Bob.

Poor Baghdad Bob. Every time an outrageous liar pops up, we tag him/her with the moniker “Baghdad Bob”.

Poor bastard- the real Baghdad Bob was captured by coalition forces, later released, and now (apparently) lives a secluded life in the UAE. He’ll probably never escape being tagged with the name “Baghdad Bob” for his ability to look straight into a camera and lie like a MFer.

But he has challengers for the honor of being the world’s most flagrant liar.

May I suggest a new name for the challengers?- “Washington Willy” or “MAGA Marvin”?

It would be easier to list the truth tellers in DC. Last weekend: one report says Vance says negotiations are going well. Another report says Trump is threatening Iran with total destruction. Another report says the Iranian delegation walked out on the talks, because of Trump's threat. Another report said Vance had landed back in the US, and said the talks were going well. Then the media reports Iran has promised to abandon nukes. Another report says Iran said it had made no new commitments, which would be technically true, as they promised to abandon nukes ten years ago, so that would not be a "new" commitment if they repeated what they had already committed to.

We mere Proles are like the guy in a TV game show, standing in a phone booth, with a fan blowing dozens of slips of paper around in the booth, and one of the slips is a coupon for a new car. Which "report" to believe?
