The economy is growing at 5.4%, wages are up, taxes cut, gas low, consumer spending up, manufacturing investment up, we have reliable energy now. Manducating is coming here from Europe in large numbers. Looks good to me

Magical thinking. Lol.

One would think you’d get clue from the explosive increase in the prices of gold and silver. MAGAs like Zionists are dumb MFers.

You’ve got it on both ends. Sad for you.

Of course you don't mention why Amazon is laying off, it ain't the economy....stupid.

It's absolutely the economy.

They are not only reducing the number of deliveries, but they are also closing the Amazon Fresh chain of stores.

You may want to read the link you posted, the reasons are stated pretty clearly.

 

[cnm]

But the second driver, government spending. It is UP. UP. Trump is spending more money than Biden did.

Shhhhhh

Excuses are like assholes, everyone has them.

The fact is, they are slashing 16,000 jobs, and UPS is slashing 30,000 jobs because they don't want to do Amazon business anymore.

Not to mention EVERYONE ELSE who is slashing.

Company I worked for until September 2024 just slashed 30% of it's US workforce. (On top of the 15% they slashed in 2024 when I was let go.)

It's going to be an employment bloodbath out there, and it will take the rest of the economy down with it.

That's a bit confusing. Are you trying to say you have more than one asshole?

 

[IDIOCRACY]

Yeah, I guess they are just moving into outright bullshit on the numbers, then

Meanwhile, it the real world, we have massive inflation and layoffs.

Why do you think fluff gives left such satisfaction? I think its because they can't handle the truth and are generally unstable.

As of December 2025, the US annual inflation rate was 2.7%, remaining steady from November 2025. The core CPI (excluding food and energy) stood at 2.6%, the lowest level since early 2021. While energy prices eased, food and shelter costs continued to see upward pressure, with the next update scheduled for February 11, 2026.

 

[Nostra]

Except the economy is shit right now.

UPS and Amazon both announced mass layoffs yesterday.

Low unemployment
Low inflation
5.4%GDP Growth


Horrible.

 

[Nostra]

Okay, if you really believe that, have at it.

In the real world, companies are slashing staff like crazy to compensate for the extra costs imposed by Trump's tariffs.

Countries are dumping US Treasuries because they can no longer count on their value.

And yet unemployment hasn’t gone up.

Weird.

GDPNow

GDPNow forecasting model provides a "nowcast" of the official estimate prior to its release by estimating GDP growth using a methodology similar to the one used by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.

www.atlantafed.org

Latest estimate: 5.4 percent — January 26, 2026

The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the fourth quarter of 2025 is 5.4 percent on January 26, unchanged from January 22 after rounding. After this morning’s advance durable manufacturing report from the US Census Bureau, the nowcasts of fourth-quarter personal consumption expenditures growth and fourth-quarter real gross private domestic investment growth increased from 3.1 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively, to 3.2 percent and 6.4 percent.

So where are the tariff disaster people now?

as a Democrat I'd like to challenge the op, because it's racist
