William"People think [convicted felon] Trump’s tariffs are bad, full stop, because they see it with their own eyes. And it isn’t just that they fear higher prices in the immediate term. It’s also that they view the superficial nationalist project underlying them dimly as well." <a href="https://mast.wmclark.com/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://mast.wmclark.com/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a> <a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/194561/trump-angry-attack-amazon-tariffs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://newrepublic.com/article/194561/trump-angry-attack-amazon-tariffs</a>

Charlie McHenryUS Consumer Confidence Plunged Again in April - when consumers lose confidence, they curtail their purchases, which is a BIG DEAL and serves to restrain the <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a> and stunt growth. With <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/TrumpTariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpTariffs</a> pushing up the cost of all imported goods, the risk of inflation increases.

Charlie McHenry“THERE ARE NO NEGOTIATIONS BEING NEGOTIATED WITH RESPECT TO THE TRUMP TARIFFS ON CHINA. TO SAY THAT “NEGOTIATIONS OVER THE FINAL TARIFFS… ARE STILL BEING NEGOTIATED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP” IS TO FALSIFY WHAT IS GOING ON… there are not even ongoing negotiations with Japan, which very much wants to negotiate.

YogthosA study by economists Anders Humlum and Emilie Vestergaard found that the adoption of AI in various occupations, including accountants, customer support specialists, and teachers, had minimal impact on earnings and recorded hours. The researchers also noted that AI chatbots have created new job tasks, which may boost wages in high-value added tasks. However, the time savings from using AI tools are minimal, with an average of 2.8% of work hours saved.<a href="https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/29/generative_ai_no_effect_jobs_wages/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/29/generative_ai_no_effect_jobs_wages/</a><a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ai</a> <a href="https://social.marxist.network/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a>
