ADP is not a very reliable indicator. Here's a better one: The US economy added a stronger-than-expected 147,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1% The US job market continues to chug along, despite heightened uncertainty about the economy and how President Donald Trump’s tariffs could shake out. The economy added a stronger-than-expected 147,000 jobs in June, and the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1% from 4.2%, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Thursday. Last month’s gains, which landed above expectations for 117,500 jobs to be added, marked a slight increase from May’s total, which was revised up slightly (5,000 jobs) to 144,000. April’s job gains were revised higher by 11,000 jobs, for a net gain of 158,000. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/03/economy/us-jobs-report-june-final

Fortunately for those of us who live in Thailand, even though the Dollar has recently declined in value against the Thai Baht, the fact is that after covid, the average level of inflation in Thailand has been much lower than in the USA. So even though the value of the dollar has declined somewhat against the baht, its purchasing power greatly lessens that.

Think again. You oppose President Trump like Elon did and you get smashed.

Still sticking with that? Musk made a huge mistake in standing up to President Trump. You go up against the big man and you get crushed! Also, Trump is a teetotaler.

Not "me" "me". "Us Us Us , only" Us Americans. USa! USa! USa!

I'm an American and I don't care about what happens to Netanyahu or to Zelensky or to any other foreign politician. Why do you care? It this kind of caring that gets America tangled up into conflicts that are none of our concern. Israel is just another country. America First!!!

It's still a subsidy. It's a gift of credit to Israel to purchase weaponry from US suppliers. So, It subsidizes both Israel and the US weapons industry.

President Trump is a heroic exception. He hates all elitists.

That's good news. I think President Trump is beginning to realize that these tech m*th*r<deleted> hold working class and middle class Americans in contempt. Time to boot them out!!! Sending Elon back to South Africa sounds good to me.

President Donald Trump points to electric vehicle subsidies as Musk attacks 'One Big Beautiful Bill' President Donald Trump warned that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a "monster that might have to go back and eat Elon," after tech billionaire Elon Musk intensified his attacks on Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill."... His response followed a question regarding whether he would deport Musk, who is originally from South Africa. Trump responded, "I don't know, we'll have to take a look." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-doge-monster-may-have-eat-elon-musk-vows-primary-ads-lawmakers-who-cross-him-bbb Steve Bannon is right. Elon Musk and the rest of his billionaire tech bros don't belong in MAGA. President Trump should give them all the heave-ho.

0.2% lower. How does that negate the effect on GDP of all those imports? As for the forecast, It's name say it all It's a forecast, not a fact.. Remember during the Biden administration how it was predicted over and over again that a recession was on the way?

Most of the cost in smelting aluminum has to do with the cost of electricity. Not labor. That's why it's so much cheaper for Canada to make aluminum than it is in the US,

That negative figure is due to the fact that imports were increased to beat the tariff deadlines. Imports are subtracted against total GDP. Trump rules!!!

You're claiming that Chinese manufacturing is a source of weakness for China? Next you'll be tellling us that its ongoing real estate disaster is a source of strength. Too funny.

Always a bad idea to indulge wishful thinking about your enemies. And make no mistake about it, China is the enemy and it's gunning for us. Foolish to expend our military resources on interminable mideast conflicts.

You don't think that the US debt is a problem? You think national bankruptcy is a good way to go? Better sharpen your math skills, buddy!

I was bred, born, and raised in New Jersey like Frank Sinatra and Lou Costello. And who the f#ck are you to tell people where they come from?

No way. That's just because the violence didn't take place in the wealthy nations. Instead wars were fought by proxy. And they still are. The Cold War wasn't so cold outside of America, Europe and a few other places.

And the reason America had to fight World War 2 was because it helped France, the UK and other allies to win World War 1. Those allies imposed a brutal peace on Germany which led to the resentment that fostered World War 2.

More like a 60 year period? So for the past 60 years America has been bad for world peace but that doesn't count? Ancient history is more relevant? America needs to disentangle itself now.

What's America's total debt?

You sure about that. America put the Shah of Iran in power instead of the legitimately elected party. South and Central America wracked by bloodshed and military rule thanks to the USA. The Vietnam War and the Iraq war made the world safer somehow?

My source? How is he my source? I don't care about the internal politics of Israel. And neither should President Trump.

Stop trolling. I was providing a specific figure to back up what I wrote.
