What's the problem?
Too much of that pesky inconvenient truth that you can't dispel?
Maybe it's time you re-evaluate your entire Trump mindset and give him the same respect that you gave your corrupt, demented pedophile and failed president for the last 4 years?

will you be stipulating to facts, or is this gonna be another StreamofBullzeet thing?

How staffing cuts in 2025 transformed the federal workforce
Across the federal workforce, the loss of hundreds of thousands of employees has led to workplace disruptions, ripple effects in U.S. communities and more.

Federal News Network by Drew Friedman@dfriedmanWFED January 1, 2026 

    As a tumultuous year for the federal workforce comes to a close, many employees are in a much different position now than they were at the start of 2025.The Trump administration’s efforts to reduce staffing across agencies resulted in the loss of more than 317,000 federal employees governmentwide. It’s a 13.7% decrease compared with September 2024 workforce numbers, Office of Personnel Management data shows.

 

Chairman Smith: Big Government Wins Again
July 05, 2024“Hiring paper pushers and IRS agents does nothing to help small businesses struggling to make payroll.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) issued the following statement after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the June 2024 jobs report:

“Bidenomics continues to put the interests of big government over workers and families. President Biden has created more than 1.5 million new jobs for bureaucrats since he took office, paid for by higher inflation-causing spending and increased borrowing costs. Todays’ jobs report is no different: there were 70,000 new bureaucrats put on payroll, while 8,000 manufacturing jobs were cut. New jobs should be the result of a growing economy, not more government spending. Hiring paper pushers and IRS agents does nothing to help small businesses struggling to make payroll.

Believe the facts now, dickhead?

The chart above is from my Q1 2026 client call. It shows a huge post-pandemic surge that began slowing in 2022 to more normal (aka) sustainable levels.  


Then came April 2nd, 2025. We expect a substantial tax increase to cause some issues with hiring, but the haphazard, almost random way these were implemented was especially disruptive. We have not added any jobs since Liberation Day. Worse, the NY Times analysis found “Health care and social assistance accounted for virtually all private-sector job growth in 2025.”

It's the end of the world unless you look at this chart.

Civilian unemployment rate share.google/sa9e3nUOGrkUaKf49

So you can't insert an image visible to people yet? BV seems to have mastered it.

  The civilian unemployment rate is increasing on your chart.  

What am I supposed to be looking at?  The COVID Spike?

Zeet Bains is MAGA Fried.
 
Great Graphics.. Thank you for sharing.

 The More Perfect Union Podcast's most recent offering offers insight  to how the tarriff *** and transwhackshunnal universe operates. The pattern discussed in the show are in your graph.  Timeline narrative captions would help folks understand better,

Meanwhile, only 3 tickets were sold in the UK to see "Melania". I am guessing Epstien did not make an appearance in the Sugar Baby Doll Showcase.

When looking intellectual timeline charts comparing total sum past against current event details being recorded statistically, what is the baseline to the positive and negative details leading away from at the core of everything existing in series parallel time?

Absolute zero balance point between nothing at all, everything universally proportionately present here, something specific, anything else is possible.

Reasonable doubt leading ancestors' brains doesn't discuss when a brain develops before a mind is socially nurtured after birth.

Why not primary evolving results in plain sight? What is data created by? rational ideas life isn't self evident time evolving one at a time, now.

Try this to get a perspective of where we are now compared to where we have been in the last 20 years of unemployment rate.

Draw a horizontal line across the chart at the current unemployment rate. You will see the unemployment rate has been higher for the majority of the chart for the last 20 years.

As I see it, things are not as dire as some would have you believe.

Stop....please...

Zero net payroll gains in 7 months.

Historically this has been considered a negative indicator...

But in the Age of Less is More....

Those job numbers didn't seem to bother Powell.

Chair Jerome Powell said at a news conference after the central bank announced its decision that the economy's outlook "has clearly improved since the last meeting" in December, a development that he noted should boost hiring over time. The Fed also said in a statement that there were signs the job market is stabilizing.

There is also this possibility:

Good news! The massive investment into AI has made American households on average significantly wealthier, and will continue to do so for years (if not the next decade). Bad news? The gains will only reinforce the K-shaped economy in the medium term; any improvement in the fortunes of medium to low earners is some way off. 

AI has delivered more than a 7% uplift in household wealth for U.S. consumers, Oxford Economics CEO Innes McFee told the company’s Global Economic Outlook conference in London this week. However, this “powerful boost” has mostly landed in the pockets of high-income Americans. The “wealth effect” created by the blockbuster spending in AI (households feeling wealthier because the value of their assets is increasing, and thus increasing their spending) will reinforce the K-shaped economy, likely until 2035, McFee later told Fortune in an exclusive interview.

The K-shaped economy is a phenomenon in which the fortunes of the wealthy track steadily higher, while those on the lower end of the income spectrum gradually sink.

Powell can't accommodate in the face of Grifty's ongoing confusion. When he speaks of "improvement" he is most likely referring to a reduction of the volatility and uncertainty as Grifty's wings are clipped.

The "K phenomenon" has been occurring for a while. There was a time when your types complained about it.
