“It's not just that total manufacturing employment is shrinking. The number of manufacturing sub-sectors that are adding jobs is rapidly shrinking. Of the 72 different types of manufacturing tracked by the BLS, just 38.2% are still adding jobs. A year ago it was 47.2%.”

Per @cnn.com someone in the White House said that the Venezuelan oil is literally in barrels for shipping to the United States. Do they think this AI image is how oil is shipped? Can the depths of stupid under that Penn Ave circus tent get any deeper?
Energy Secretary Chris Wright has been directed to "execute this plan, immediately," and the barrels "will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States." CNN has reached out to the White House for more information. A senior administration official, speaking under condition of anonymity, told CNN that the oil has already been produced and put in barrels. The majority of it is currently on boats and will now go to US facilities in the Gulf to be refined. AI generated image of oil barrels in the cargo hold of an oil tanker. This fictional image is apparently what is in the minds of the mentally debilitated, illiterate morons in the White House. Fortunately for their own sake they speak anonymously to conceal their abject and abysmal stupidity.

"Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Bailout for Farmers" - WSJ

A reminder from the archive: you can't fix stupid.
#trump #tariffs #trade #farmers #bailout @wsj.com
The headline from the Wall Street Journal article dated December 8, 2025 writing "Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Bailout for Farmers" "The financial aid comes as the agriculture sector grapples with the fallout from the president’s tariffs". This is your hourly reminder that the only people in America more irredeemably stupid than Trump's administration are people who voted for him. The headline from the Wall Street Journal article dated July 25, 2018 writing "Trump Administration Plans Up to $12 Billion in Farm Aid to Ease Concerns Over Trade Disputes" "Announcement of emergency aid to farmers follows retaliatory steps by U.S. trading partners". This is your hourly reminder that the only people in America more irredeemably stupid than Trump's administration are people who voted for him.

The enormously complex trump tariff regime represents an enormous level of hypocrisy. The admin promised deregulation but created a tariff regime that costs businesses massive amounts of time and money to comply with. Below is a graphic from Scott Lincicome of Cato showing its complexity
