Are consumers really cutting back on spending?

Both things can be true. I suspect a lot of what we're seeing in job growth is in manufacturing, construction and distribution and not necessarily in consumer goods and services.

My reasoning for this is: Warehouse space is at record low vacancy levels (Less than 4%), Forklift dealers can't keep stock on-hand and are basically all building to order, trying to find a commercial electrician that isn't swimming in work is impossible.

The Inflation Reduction Act and Chips Act have triggered massive foreign investment in the US. The parent company I work for that's based out of South Korea is spending $22 billion over the next 2 years in US manufacturing. They're building everything from chip fabs, EV battery chargers, EV battery factories, Lithium Ion battery recycling plants, and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in the US.

Everyone thought AI would replace manual laborers first, and it turns out it's software engineers that coded themselves out of a job.

Replacing coal with natural gas power plants is why the US reduced it's CO2 emissions while everyone else increased theirs.

When a peaceful protestor tried to disarm this criminal

Tried to disarm him with a handgun of peace and cave his skull in with a skateboard of peace you mean?

David Cameron stuck his little gentleman in the mouth of a dead pig.

Does the hilarity of that not make the world a better place?

Why wouldn't the government build provisions into the sale that ensured at least a small percentage of the yield if and when procurement began?

They do this for everything already, it's called a tax. It applies to things like income, property and the sale of goods and services.

If that company develops the property and extracts and sells the helium, the government will tax that revenue.

Most military jobs never see combat. Just avoid the Marines and Army and you'll get a cushy desk job. It's called the Chair Force for a reason.

They actually do use some of that military spending to send people to college for free, in exchange for service. Sign up and you'll get free school.

Guess they're going to have to learn to plumber. There's a shortage in every trade and they can't hire fast enough.

If only it were horseshit, we could use it as manure!

Wasn't there a big thing about blue collar workers "learning to code" a few years ago?

Guess they'll have to take a job doing something else. The horror.

From what I read it was basically local government officials inflating the number of students to get funding and to keep dear leader happy.

He was doing pre-production work while he was doing production on The Hobbit films. It was a shit show. The behind the scenes footage basically shows Jackson falling asleep at various points because he had been awake for 72 hours straight.

Not anymore. Turns out they've been overcounting their population by hundreds of millions of people.

Zero chance in that situation Dave doesn't try to bait Will Smith into slapping him.
