All the good job reports under ByeDumb were fake...didn’t I tell you so?

[LilKitKat]

What you could do at Krogers is substitute products. But you’ll most likely be saving thousands on your federal taxes thanks to the legislation Trump signed this year. It will more than offset any small tariff impact that might show up on your grocery bill.

I suppose we all can skip eating chicken, shrimp, beef, turkey, eggs, bacon, bread, cheese, milk, lettuce, zucchini, carrots, apples, pears, coffee and so on for "cup o' noodles" and "shelf stable kraft mac n cheese" in order to save a few dollars...albeit at the cost of a few extra pounds at the end of the year and a heart attack about 10 years sooner than one would normally expect, but hey, those dont go on my taxes. Oh wait, unless I need to go to to hospital or get medicine etc, but that should be ok...wait, unelss Trump and elevated genius RFK Jr. cut funding to the CDC, most vaccines and medical facilities, and so on. Well, no matter, I will at least read up on it and have my kids learn about it at school...oh shit, unless they cut those programs too, because god forbid someone in one of the pamphlets was Black or Latino or had "slanty eyes and black hair" to represent all Asians... or it showed some drawing of a same-sex couple. Oh well, good thing Ill save a few hundred dollars maybe on my tax forms...unless of course, I am not in the 1%. Damn. Guess I am fucked?!

The graph shows the change in jobs from a year earlier for the period between 2023 and March of this year. The shaded area shows the revisions for the last 12 months of that period.

That’s what I said. Pretending you made a point by agreeing with me is dumb.

Pretending that the 3 million jobs added in 2023 is “bad” is also dumb. Trump will be lucky if 300,000 jobs are added this year.

Pretending that you know what months were most impacted by the latest revision is also dumb, because the monthly data wasn’t released.

Lol. I don’t know where you shop for groceries but if you think tariffs are hitting you hard at the checkout counter, you’re probably shopping at the wrong stores. Or maybe you’re eating too much processed food. Consider cutting back on those Doritos.

The average price of chicken in the US has only risen by 2 cents per pound (< $1%) between January and July 31st of this year. Beef prices are essentially unchanged. Milk prices are only up about 14 cents a gallon. Egg prices in January were $7.09 per dozen. Today they have plummeted $2.04 per dozen. Domestically grown fruits and vegetables are of course immune from any tariffs.

I don’t know what your annual income is, but you should check the tax tables and compare what your estimated federal income tax liability will be next year to what it would have been if President Trump and Congress hadn’t extended Trump’s 2017 tax cuts.

It’s clear that you have no idea if or how tariffs have impacted your grocery bill, and you have no idea how the Trump tax cuts have impacted your federal tax bill.

What food products that you purchase at the grocery store have risen in price as a result of tariffs, and by how much?

Nobody said that. You don’t seem to understand that…

A. Tariffs are a tax on imported goods (which comprise about 14% of US GDP)
B. Business taxes are either absorbed by businesses, or passed on to consumers, or a combination of both.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

ask walmart

If you eat electronics products, toys, furniture and apparel purchased Walmart, your grocery bill will indeed go up somewhat. Try switching to meat, dairy products, fresh fruit and vegetables. Much healthier!

This data clearly shows you're a racist:

[Elizabeth Holms riots] Geez, the case hasn’t even gone to the jury and the rioters in CA are already looting the high end fashion stores. If the verdict goes the wrong way the streets of Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and LA could be filled with blondes in black turtlenecks. Not even going to guess how this would all go down if she were black.

I’m telling you what Walmart said. Most of the products subject to tariff-related price hikes are imported, non-food products. A much greater proportion of electronics, toys, apparel and other products sold by Walmart are imported than food products.

 

[Lazaran]

Good grief. The title of the chart I shared clearly stated what the data shows.

For BabyBoobs (an ignorant POS MAGAt):

THREE MILLION JOBS WER CREATED, REGARDLESS OF THE DOWNWARD REVISION TREND FROM BLS THAT WAS LIKELY RELATED TO POST COVID DATA COLLECTION ISSUES.

Meanwhile:

JOB CREATION UNDER DONOLD TRUMP & THE MAGAT REPUBLICANS HAS BASICALLY FLATLINED (and yuuuuuge tariffs = yuuuuuge taxes).



Hope that ^ helps BabyBoobs.

so you disagree with your fellow magatard that groceries that cost $100 last year cost $136 this year.

 

[schism666]

anecdotal example - ken's marinade has never been more than $3.69. i just paid $4.29 at the same store. where is that imported from? lol

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Yes, I disagree. Food prices have not risen 36% in the past year.

Biden’s Final Flop: 911,000 Fewer Jobs Than Reported in the Year Through March​

Like crimes data, and probably everything else from the Biden Administration, Biden's job numbers were pure fiction

The U.S. economy added nearly a million fewer jobs in the year through March 2025 than previously reported, according to preliminary figures released Tuesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The revision, the largest on record, suggests job growth during that period was running at roughly half the pace initially believed. The BLS said payrolls will likely be revised down by 911,000 jobs, or 0.6 percent. That reduces total employment gains for the 12 months ending in March to about 850,000, compared with the 1.8 million originally reported. On a seasonally adjusted basis, average monthly job growth drops from about 147,000 to just over 70,000.

The downward adjustment hits nearly every industry and most states. Wholesale and retail trade accounted for the largest share of the shortfall, followed by leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, and manufacturing. Information employment was revised down by more than 2 percent, the steepest cut in percentage terms. The revision recasts the economic backdrop at the start of President Donald Trump’s second term. Far from inheriting a booming labor market, Trump stepped into office amid an economy that was already weaker than believed. What was described at the time as a historically strong job market now appears far less robust.

In June 2024, White House economic adviser Jared Bernstein told the New York Times that “it’s beyond question that this is one of the strongest labor markets that we’ve ever seen.” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said in December that “the U.S. economy has just been remarkable… performing very, very well.” Both statements rested on payroll data that has now been sharply revised down.

At the time, analysts argued that voters were discounting plentiful jobs in favor of focusing on inflation. The new data suggests voters weren’t overlooking strength — they were detecting weakness obscured by inflated statistics.

Pressure on the Fed

The revision also highlights the risk that the Federal Reserve miscalibrated policy in late 2024. The central bank lowered interest rates three times between September and December, but has left them in place since Donald Trump took office. In recent months, job growth has slowed to a crawl and the revisions show that it was weaker even before Trump took office, meaning the Fed was already behind the curve. With unemployment rising to 4.3 percent in August, the highest in nearly four years, the case for further cuts is now even stronger.

A Pattern of Large Revisions

Tuesday’s announcement marks the second unusually large benchmark revision in a row. In February, the BLS lowered its estimate of job growth through March 2024 by nearly 600,000. The new revision, which will be finalized and incorporated into official statistics in February 2026, underscores that the earlier overstatement was not an anomaly but part of a pattern of inflated initial payroll figures. Some economists expect that final revisions will not be as large as the preliminary estimate, repeating the pattern from last year when the first estimate was for 818,000 fewer jobs.

The revisions have also intensified scrutiny of the Bureau of Labor Statistics itself. President Trump last month dismissed the agency’s Senate-confirmed commissioner, Erika McEntarfer, citing the repeated large revisions. He has nominated economist E.J. Antoni, a longtime critic of the bureau’s methods, to take her place.

The revision does not directly affect data after March 2025. But combined with recent weak monthly reports — just 22,000 jobs added in August — it paints a picture of a labor market that is faltering faster, and from a weaker starting point, than most forecasters assumed.

There’s no evidence of any national price hike in Ken’s Marinade product line. I suggest shopping at Walmart.

First off, I dont eat processed foods nor Doritos, so maybe use better examples. I dont expect you would have known that, but I am certainly anything but overweight and discuss food often on my thread. But an angry MAGA doesnt want to discuss food, only the fgood he is fed from Fox/Hannity/Breitbart/the Blaze/whatever.

Secondly, pretty darn sure the price of most everything has gone up. Maybe not for you, since yer just eating those Doritos and the Kraft Mac and Cheese, but for the rest of us, just about everything has increased, yes, even if its only a few cents to much much more.
I mean, even a fake news site like Fox has discussed the increase in the price of eggs over the last 6 months.

And whether I earn 50k, 100k, 150k, or 500k a year shouldnt matter to you...but it does to a whooooole ton of people who do have to pay more for food as well as other daily things that ey need to buy (such as diapers and baby formula)...because you know, as much as it sounds great to buy "only American"...so many things you want to use, just arent made in the good ol' U S of A.

Its clear you have no idea how tariffs impact the people of the United States, only are assuming since it has cost you a few cents or even a dollar a week, you assume that is the same for everyone, especially since Trump and Fox told you so.

I’ve shared actual data with you on price levels for specific products, including chicken, beef, eggs, and produce. I’ve pointed out that tariffs are only imposed on imported goods, and that only 13% to 15% of all goods sold in the US are imported. You can disregard the data if you choose.
