The Bulwark - Trump's WORST Jobs Report Yet, Stagflation Incoming?

Tim Miller and Jonathan V. Last break down the latest disastrous jobs report and what it reveals about the state of the U.S. economy under Trump. From manufacturing losses to collapsing construction starts, they explain why the numbers are worse than they look, and how policy choices like tariffs, mass deportations, and federal cuts are fueling the downturn. They also discuss whether Trump could weaponize the Fed, the risks of stagflation, and why America may be speed-running toward an Argentina-style collapse.

I have a friend who's worked for them for 22 years. He wants to transfer to another store. He was told they have a 2 month hiring freeze.
