Post #53600 by Dope1 on the US Policy board

When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

The causes of the current drop are well understood and documented. The continued move to outsourcing and AI would have happened regardless of policy. OTOH, the changes due to tariffs and immigration policy were entirely preventable. Trump has said his policies are important enough, a recession is an acceptable outcome.

We were told by the media and the Biden administration that the jobs market was strong and healthy. That was clearly not true:

Even CNBC has to say it
Most of the time span for the report came before President Donald Trump took office, indicating the jobs picture was deteriorating before he began levying tariffs against U.S. trading partners.

That's a total of 2 million jobs over the last 2 years of the Biden admin wiped away.
