This is not about "Arguing for the sake of arguing", this is about the US economy, I don't know nor understand how you can say this is EVERYTHING BUT created by tariffs, and you can be so sure that none of this is the result of the tariff yet you yourself conceded you had.
1.) Do not check any external factor
2.) There are many more factors other than AI
3.) The drop in cargo volume is likely due to the Tariff.
Whether or not I like Trump is beside the point. This is policy dictated; it would have been the same with Biden or even Clinton. Just because I don't like Trump does not mean my post is pointless.
On the other hand, the new job created is at 40% at the moment. Again, you can argue that those job created before is not new job (first of all, 4 years of Biden still creating pre-COVID job? And A lot of them? And by the way, if you recreate a furloughed position, it IS a new job) And the number of government jobs created vs non-government is not at all covered in this sense because even if you are talking about right-wing figures like end wokeness, it's still roughly 40/60. The reality is more like a 12/88 public/private ratio; this isn't 70/30, where you stop expanding the government and all new opportunities going to hell. Even with "end wokeness" standard applied to 2025, you would still have roughly 1.2 million jobs by now, instead of 780,000
End Wokeness post overstates government jobs’ role in Biden-era job creation
The conservative X account End Wokeness said former President Joe Biden presided over an economy that was heavily driven

Literally EVERY Parameter in the economic indicator is bad, other than one, that's the stock market. CPI in September went past 3.0% for the first time since May 2024, PPI is at +2.6% since 12 months change, job numbers are extremely low,, and we are expecting a 6.6% decrease in cargo volume. And if you think all these are factors pointing to "anything but" Trump tariff? Dude, you need to wake up
I am not a logistics specialist, but I hold a Master of Philosophy in Strategic Management from ANU, a Master's in International Economy from ICMS, a BArt in Political Studies from CU Boulder, and a Double Degree in Computer Science and Business Management from UNSW. I would think I have a pretty good grasp on economy.

I absolutely agree with his X post. Why the F should my hard earn money go to illegals?

Doesn't go to illegals Medicaid, food assistance, and social security all go to US citizens.
As a US tax payer, if government does not repay us as the tax collecting stipulates, do you thus agree that US government should end income tax ?

But I agree. A Revolution in the US would be a blood bath seeing the pathological taste for weapons.

Actually, the way the system is set up, in several states illegal aliens are indeed eligible for benefits via the state programs.
Interestingly, your comment regarding the income tax reminded me of property taxes. No senior should be at risk of losing their home because of a property tax burden.

What is the problem with that?

It doesn't matter. Illegal aliens will be out of the picture anyway. It's well know those benefits are primarily for US citizens/Americans.
The right wing is threatening to cut all benefits but they still collect income and property tax as you said. I'm glad we agree on that issue. If our government is going to collect taxes but not put that back into the public sector or create emergency benefits for US taxpayers , then they need to abolish income and property tax.

Trump Goes Full Dictator With Bonkers Threat to Use Air Force and Navy in U.S. Cities
President Donald Trump has claimed he could send the Navy, Air Force, and Marines into U.S. cities to do “whatever I want” and the courts would not stop him.
As tensions escalate over the administration’s deployment of the National Guard, Trump warned that he could “routinely” invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass the legal system if he wanted to use all arms of the military against his own citizens.
“If I want to enact a certain Act, I’m allowed to do it,” he said.
“We haven’t chosen to do that because we’re doing very well without it, but I’d be allowed to do that, you know that, right? And the courts wouldn’t get involved. Nobody would get involved, and I could send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. I could send anybody I wanted.”
The comments represent a dramatic escalation by the president, and sparked widespread criticism that he was trying to play out a “dictator fantasy.”

Well if democrat mayors and AGs did their effing job enforcing the law and not letting the cities go to cht NG would not be deployed. This is what happens when sanctuary cities are allowed to exist for years. Look it's either this or nuke these blue crime infested cities which unfortunately that thought has crossed my mind many times. When the body has cancer the hospital nukes it with radiation blue cities have become a cancer to the rest of the nation.

I didn’t put a qualifier on it, but many will have the perception that the motive not economic but xenophobic to ethnic minorities. First the illegal immigrants, then the legal immigrants, and finally the ethnic minorities with “leftist” views; specially of naturalized citizens with threats of de-naturalization and ending birthright citizenship.
I agree immigration levels are high, because we don’t have the economic growth to support new arrivals, but we will have to see how this platform develops.
