The "Jobless Boom" Is Here

Yet the federal budget continues to grow each year. Once Dems cheat their way to power in 2028, it’s kind of over since they will punish taxpayers while rapidly rebuilding the federal workforce.
I got bad news for you boyos the job market is a real fucking problem. What I'm seeing in trying to job change is worse than 2008-09 and it's only getting worse from here. There's about 10 really big changes/problems that are coming together right now and both sides of the aisle need to actually address things. The right is denying it or ignoring it to make it seem like it's not Trump's fault (I don't think it is and don't really care either way) or to make it seem like everything is good under him and the left doesn't want to address it because socialism seems better and better when it's hard to get any kind of job.
Maybe we should make America the go to place to build new facilities. Maybe institute some tariffs to bring overseas manufacturing back to America rather than outsource pollution to the chicoms. Just a thought that that might bring in trillions of dollars of new investment. Maybe Woolley could suggest that to Trump and he could do something.
Construction is desperate for workers both field and management
Of course you have to fucking work and not be a retard

And socialism is the opposite of work. Hire back the government losers and keep destroying American industry
New York and other blue cities are Cratering

Getting rid of restrictions on energy that happened this week is huge
Forget about Trump and focus on policy
It's not close. It's like we had a 4 year refresher course from 20 to 24

I don't doubt that it sucks right now because the cost of health insurance, the need to flatten out from over hiring, AND recent state policies on the left coast are making it very unattractive to hire versus spending on other things. We haven't hired anyone in the last year that we didn't 100% know personally.
That is going to take some more time to fix and yes it is all leftist policies that have created it.
It does look like manufacturing and more industry is moving back into the country, but again that will take time and is getting counterbalanced by all the other anti-american worker shit going on.

I got laid off Dec 24 by the place I've bounced to and from for over 40 years. Last hired when we came back from California
Got hired in October 25 as a 69 year old white guy because we know construction
Get your kid a plumber's tool box. He'll out earn you

Jesus guys. This was not an attack. For the record I think leftist policies are exactly the worst thing for the job market pretty much across the board and when I had the wonderful joy of graduating college in 2008 and trying to make it in LA I had to get by on temp work with LA County and the people collecting paychecks there was some of the most ridiculous shit I have ever seen and because of leftist thought and policies they would never hire me. I don't think more government workers is an answer.
My family business was construction so I'm well aware of everything that goes along with everything construction. One of the reasons there are always opportunities is because it's a hard ass business the vast vast majority of people aren't cut out for, especially in 2026.
It seems like everything points to white collar jobs being a massively shrinking field and that's going to/has create tens of millions of people who aren't going to work in a factory/oil field/construction site for a lot of reasons. The answer could be that they just fade away, figure out how to get by, kill themselves, etc but if you want those people avoid voting blue, what is being communicated to them?

I wasn't attacking either
Just telling it like it is
If people think communism is the answer they don't know the question

First, you implied Trump wasn't doing anything and he is. He is bring massive new investment to the US, closed the border and put a chainsaw to crime stats. The left is communicating by lying and pushing socialism and to bring back Dementia Patient 2.0 to undo Trump's achievements. Feel free to communicate what Trump can do that he isn't.
Here is the left's job program. Spend a lot of money with no accountability. Someone ended up with a lot of taxpayer money. Just like Newsom's high speed train to nowhere program.

FCC chair Brendan Carr has a pointed question for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, politely paraphrased as, "Where in the actual hell did the $450 million go, and where's that new 911 system it was supposed to buy?"
The same week he was first sworn in as governor, Newsom said, "The idea that it's 2019, and we are using analog systems designed decades ago is astounding, and we need to make investments to make sure the technology aligns with the devices people are using in their daily lives." He added that "California's antiquated, analog microwave network must be upgraded to a digital network to maintain safety operations."
That was seven years ago. Since then, Newsom spent $450 million to build a new system, "but when it came time to turn it on, it did not work," Carr wrote on Tuesday. This makes it even more astounding that California still relies on analog systems designed decades ago.
Particularly when there are lives on the line.
The new big thing is Next Generation 911 (NG911) that is based on internet protocols (IP) and works much more like your smartphone does. It can handle texts to 911, photos or videos of emergencies, precise location data, streaming video, and even data-sharing between dispatchers and first responders in real time.
That's the fancy way of saying that the next-generation system gets more information to first responders even faster, while allowing them to deploy more quickly and intelligently. Put it all together, and more lives are saved, more property is protected.
Networking is a capability multiplier, and NG brings networking to an emergency services system originally designed at roughly the same time as the Summer of Love.
It's a big upgrade, sure, but given that anybody with a smartphone anywhere in the world — and there are over seven billion of them in active service — can share similar information with any other smartphone anywhere else in the world without even thinking about it, NG911 is hardly some radically new technology, even on the backend.
But it is a government program, so cost overruns and delays are expected.
Progress is uneven, and not quite 20 states have fully implemented the NG911standard or been rated as "high-deployment." Some, like Indiana, have had NG911 in place since before COVID; others just have pilot programs in place.
But none except California has spent so much money only to report zero progress. California can't point to partial implementation, has no pilot programs in place — literally nothing to show for 450 million tax dollars. Newsom might as well have spent it on hair product, and for all I know, he probably did. Worse, California's antiquated system is literally failing, according to both the FCC and Sacramento.
New FCC rules are meant to speed along compliance among the laggards, which is why Carr on Tuesday reminded Newsom that "when first responders tried to activate your system, emergency 911calls were lost and misrouted, and a 12-hour outage followed when residents were unable to call 911. You are now scrapping the plan and going back to the drawing board."
So it isn't quite right to say that Newsom spent all that money and failed to install a better system. It would be more accurate to say that he spent all that money and created a worse system that, thankfully, never came fully online.
FCC to Newsom: Hey, Where'd the $450 Million Go?
FCC questions California's $450M spent on failed 911 system upgrade, leaving outdated emergency services in use.

I don't want communism. I don't want a European type country/economy. I think it's actually interesting that the left and the media seems to be ignoring the job problem and I think that it's possibly intentional and instead they want the focus to be on people getting deported, which only seems to matter apparently when they're not in the presidency.
I never said Trump wasn't doing anything. I actually think it's fucked up that whatever he says/does is completely ignored outside of the sliver of media which aren't against him and the vast majority of media just blast out whatever they think will be perceived negative (and they usually twist it).
A lot of the stuff I would even say are problems have been around for a long time and failures like allowing jobs to be outsourced, bringing in foreign workers, companies downsizing jobs for 30+ years now, etc.
My base thing here is there a job problem specifically for white collar and the future of employment is crazy murky. Not even getting into the AI stuff.

CNN/MSNBC having to report that Trump was one of the original Epstein whistle blowers and that the private sector job market is white hot right now had to have been brutal for producers.
No wonder the pussies like @DucksFC @AOG @HHusky @HuskyBuck @HuskyJW @UiagaleleiUgly are in hiding right now.
Come on out and whine about Bad Bunny some more you fucking losers

Yeah I look forward to getting hit up by Olga every fucking week about offshoring to Poland or Ukraine. It's awesome. Part of the problem with smaller outfits of experienced people is that training Gen Z Fucking. SUCKS. They take 0 criticism in any form and force you to give them a score instead which just makes it easier to get rid of them. It's a complicated problem but your suggestion would be an amazing start.
