Everyone keeps saying AI is going to be a job killer, maybe this is the tip of the iceberg or maybe not. Trump's policies are also job killers, higher taxes are never good and his tariffs have sure hurt sectors of the economy, and created uncertainty for many small businesses. Chasing after workers that happen to be unpeaople in MAGA's eyes has hurt business, also, costing citizens their jobs. If an immigrant can't do his job he can't pass the good or service onto the next stage in the economic process, so a citizen doesn't get hired. Immigration, legal or illegal, is great for the economy, Trump is hurting that. Once the supply of goods imported before the tariffs kicked runs out we will see higher inflation, too Stagflation

The chief United Nations nuclear inspector has widened the divide with the Trump administration over how severely the United States set back Iran’s nuclear program, declaring that it could be enriching uranium in a “matter of months” even as President Trump repeated his claim that Tehran had lost interest in the effort. “Frankly speaking, one cannot claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there,” Rafael Mariano Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in an interview with CBS News that aired on Sunday. But Mr. Grossi’s analysis — one that several European intelligence agencies share — is consistent with a preliminary assessment by the Defense Intelligence Agency that was widely reported on last week. That report estimated that the strike set back the Iranian nuclear program by only a few months. The C.I.A. director said later in the week that the Iranian program had been severely damaged, and the U.S. intelligence agencies were continuing to assess the strike. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/us/politics/un-iran-nuclear-program-enrichment.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Sk8.rXji.vZ38L-H11Vde&smid=url-share -

You are jumping the gun. Real intelligence takes time. Your wishful thinking isn't intelligent https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/06/29/trump-iran-nuclear-damage-intercepted-call/ The United States obtained intercepted communication between senior Iranian officials discussing this month’s military strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and remarking that the attack was less devastating than they had expected, said four people familiar with the classified intelligence circulating within the U.S. government. -
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/upshot/republicans-medicaid-cuts-paperwork.html “The Republicans decided on the talking point that they wanted to say, ‘We didn’t cut anyone’s benefits,’” said Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach, a professor at Northwestern who studies food assistance. “So instead they’re going to say, ‘Well, we’re going to really squeeze folks that we think should be working.’” The Trump administration has prided itself on deregulation, cutting rules for business processes throughout the government. But when it comes to antipoverty programs, this agenda moves in the opposite direction, making individuals work harder to prove they qualify for government programs. Federal and state agencies would also need to build vast new bureaucracies to measure and monitor the new paperwork. Republican lawmakers, White House officials and researchers who advise them argue that the extra paperwork and processes are a way of ensuring that only the truly worthy can access government help. “If you’re going to be on the public wagon, you have to do something to help pull it, if you’re able,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said last month in a CNN interview, in which he said Republicans “are not cutting Medicaid.” The bill does make some direct cuts to Medicaid funding, but most of its health care savings come from administrative changes. That’s a significantly different strategy from the Republicans’ attempt to repeal Obamacare in 2017, which would have directly reduced federal spending on health programs, and was thus easier for opponents to attack. But Democrats are trying. Chuck Schumer, the Senate’s Democratic leader, has said tens of millions of Americans would be “mummified in new red tape.” Decades of evidence show that administrative barriers prevent vulnerable families from receiving benefits, while simplifying programs can increase use. In the first Trump administration, more frequent Medicaid eligibility checks led to losses in health coverage for more than a million poor children. Studies of student aid applications have shown that programs that help families fill out the forms boost college participation. They can't figure out how to fill out an application? Do they belong in college? 🤷♂️
