From Patch:
August Layoffs Skyrocketed In NJ, Despite Added Jobs
A massive number of workers were laid off in New Jersey last month, despite the state labor market adding jobs during the same period, according to new data.
Challenger, Grey & Christmas, a private firm that collects labor market data, recently released job and unemployment figuresfor August 2025.
The numbers paint a grim picture for New Jersey workers.
According to the Challenger report, 35,065 Garden State jobs were cut in August, up from 3,557 in July. So far this year, 61,760 New Jersey jobs have been eliminated, compared to just 7,754 in all of 2024.
Challenger’s report does not specify at which companies the cuts occurred.
Only two other states — California and New York — and the District of Columbia have reported more eliminated positions in 2025.
The report was released just weeks before the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics unveiled preliminary labor market estimates for August, which showed New Jersey added jobs amid the job cuts.
“Total nonfarm employment increased in August by 4,900 to a seasonally adjusted level of 4,389,200 jobs,” Gov. Phil Murphy’s office said in a news release. “The state’s unemployment rate increased by 0.1 percentage point to 5.0 percent.”
Challenger’s report does not specify at which companies the cuts occurred.
According to the PDF, government is the biggest cut. Most gov positions are do-nothing roles anyway. I need to dive deeper and see what industries are most affected now and what’s trending over the next few years.
Federal government is an absolute disaster
It’s all about pronouns, hate and supremacy.
“A massive number of workers were laid off in New Jersey last month, despite the state labor market adding jobs during the same period, according to new data. “
As per Occam’s razor.
The cuts will be to the only workers who did any actual work.
The remaining jobs will be to those who don’t do anything.
STATE PLANNED ECONOMY
“Viewed as a stand-alone incident, the Intel deal could be dismissed as unimportant. There are state-owned or partially state-owned companies around the world, after all, and some are more efficient than others.
Unfortunately, this is not a one-off. The federal government also decided to take a 15 percent share in MP Materials, a company that mines rare-earth minerals that are essential for everything from smartphones to guided missiles. You might think that is essential for America’s national security, because China has such a large presence in that sector and the military applications of these rare-earth minerals are many.
Just last week, however, the Trump administration announced it would be taking a 5 percent stake in two different lithium mining ventures. The good news is that major lithium deposits are being discovered around the world, making this kind of U.S. government involvement unnecessary for national security reasons. The bad news is that our government still is treating this as a national emergency…
Last week, the Trump administration announced an arrangement in which Pfizer would cut pharmaceutical prices in return for some tariff relief. Reuters has reported that the Trump administration is now planning various kinds of deals with up to 30 industries.
To make sure the new deals stick, there is a plan in the works to formalize them and make it so this is how the U.S. government deals with businesses going forward. To that end, the Trump administration wishes to greatly expand the financing and authority of what was previously a minor institution, namely the International Development Finance Corporation (DFC).
The DFC was created in 2018 to help finance projects in developing nations. But under the proposed expansion, it would establish an equity fund to cement federal government ownership of key parts of American industry. This means that our federal government would move away from its longstanding and beneficial stance of letting private ownership stay private.“
Rightwingers have nothing to say about current administration COMMUNISM?
Very nice! America give us base, we give them toy jet!
Hello my friends! It is I, Borat Al-Qatari, proud son of the desert and now proud landlord of Idaho airspace!
Qatar and United States have struck biggest bargain since man trade camel for Tesla.
You see, some countries must spend billions for military access…
But us? We only give your president one little jet!
Yes, small gift — golden seat, maybe Wi-Fi, maybe built-in espresso — and suddenly, boom!
We have base inside your base! Very efficient diplomacy!
Borat,
Meh. I’ll give you a C+ for the effort buy… it was just okay.
buy = but
Just applied for my TrumpRx card.
Hehe.
I hope the priest who lost an eyeball has one so he can get discount antibiotics for his upcoming eye socket infection.
The deterioration in U.S.-China relations also injects uncertainty into the TikTok deal that Trump had announced with fanfare last month, as Beijing still needs to give final regulatory approval to allow ByteDance to sell TikTok’s U.S. business to U.S. buyers.
Well, finally some good news.
Last thing we need is TikTok owned by Americans.
Someone….you’d be a lot more pleasant to discuss matters with if you applied your cynism to those so called experts who lie to your face. Don’t hate me because I’ve been right.
I understand it’s a hard egg to swallow when uneducated rednecks drew better conclusions than establishment beaurecrats. But that’s not me bro. I actually have the science background and experience to form informed opinions on these matters.
Zien zie papers old man.
Un why can you not zine zei papers?

Israeli spyware maker NSO Group has confirmed to TechCrunch that a U.S. investment group has acquired the company.

Make food cheaper again
The combination of Trump’s economic policies, including higher tariffs and fewer immigrant workers, is starting to weigh on prices overall, including food. The consumer price index was up 2.9 percent in August, the most recent month for which there is data.
Looks like America’s engines are again starving for fuel…
Women are taking pay cuts as companies mandate return to office
Researchers are identifying several key factors behind why gender pay gap — which had narrowed steadily over the years — has suddenly widened.
When child care needs increase, it’s generally women who pick up the slack, despite a toll on their careers, research shows, in what is often referred to as “the motherhood penalty.”
This effect “accounts for much of the remaining gender wage gap,” according to research published in July in Review of Economics of the Household, which found that when women have better access to child care, their annual median earnings “are higher, as is the ratio of female to male earnings.”

Whiite Traaas,
C+? WAWAWEEWA! That is amazing! In my village, C+ is top of class — only student who can both read and write own name.
But thank you, great American critic! You judge my comedy like your government judge spending bills — low standards, big smile, no refund.
Do not worry — next time I try harder! I make joke so good even Nobel Committee give me “Participation Peace Prize.”
Very nice! Great success!
America, you do diplomacy like we do camel racing — expensive and confusing!
Very nice! I come again from glorious nation of Qatar, where we treat citizens with free healthcare, free school, free dignity — so boring!
Meanwhile, my favorite circus, the United States Government, perform new miracle: fire thousands of own citizens, but send billions of dollars to Argentina!
Bravo, USA! You are truly the Santa Claus of other countries!
Not much staying power there, Borat. But again, we at least recognize what you’re trying to do.
Eddie
Serious question.
Do you like your tax dollars going to Argentina? Really?
I would have thought you would have rather had a tax cut.
I would have. So I am trying to understand why you would support your money going to Argentina?
Ah, thank you, Mr. White Trash Eddie! In my country, “not much staying power” is what we say after third marriage — still, great honor!
I am glad you recognize what I try to do: make people laugh and question why their tax money now has frequent-flyer miles.
You see my satire like your economy — it come and go quickly, but it always leave a mark!
Next time I bring more staying power — maybe with extra jet, free healthcare, and discount on dignity.
Very nice! Great success!
Many insiders traded ahead of the Friday China tariff announcement.
It’s the golden age of grift and corruption
“The accusations are explosive:
That in 2024, Tom Homan, now President Trump’s border czar, met with some businessmen who handed him $50,000 stuffed into a bag from Cava, the fast-casual restaurant chain; in exchange, Mr. Homan would help with government contracts if Mr. Trump were to win re-election.
In reality, the “businessmen” were undercover F.B.I. agents who reportedly recorded the exchange.”
More Baloney from the Media on Argentina? We gave them a peso swap line, nothing else.
The news does not report it but the USA wants Argentina to break their swap deal with China, and lose that line of credit… We are replacing that line of credit with dollars. Again Argentina will pay for Chinese imports in yuan instead of settling in dollars. Our courts cannot sieze bank accounts that don’t settle in here in the USA.
IMF is Argentina’s single largest creditor. The others are big players, BlackRock, Pimco, and Fidelity hold some Argentina junk debt on their books, along with the debt of every other third world country.
I will have to repeat this again.. Argentina cannot even hold a bank account here without it being seized. It’s happened over and over for decades, anything held here is taken by our courts.
Argentina was selling peso bonds to foreign investors. Those are junk grade CCC ratings…..High risk of default.
Should we allow the Chinese to have a further foothold in the Americas? Anyone here think weakening our dollar hegemony is a good thing?
Ahh, Mr. Juice Box, you speak many beautiful words — “swap line,” “junk debt,” “yuan,” “BlackRock.” In my country, we call this “financial poetry that no one understands but everyone pays for.”
You say America give Argentina only peso swap line, not bailout. Very nice! So instead of gift, it is “friendly loan with invisible strings.” Like when neighbor borrow your goat, promise to return it fat, but somehow goat come back vegetarian.
You say it is to stop China from taking over Latin America. Bravo! America protect freedom by replacing one superpower with another — itself! This what we call democracy with frequent flyer miles.
In Qatar, we love this policy! You print dollars, send them to countries that can’t pay, and then act surprised when they can’t pay! Very smart — it keep economists busy and citizens confused.
Also, I learn new thing: your courts can seize Argentina’s accounts. Very impressive! In Qatar, we only seize yachts — and only if Russian forget password.
So do not worry, Mr. Juice Box. The empire is safe, the dollar is strong, and Argentina still paying interest with hope and tango.
Meanwhile, Qatar continue to give free healthcare and air-conditioned stadiums to everyone.
Maybe next time America also give swap line to its own unemployed — call it “Freedom Loan.”
Very nice! Great success!
Vsg don’t worry, he can be pardoned and it’s all good. Maybe we can date the pardon back to 2011 for unknown crimes just in case.
BRT – it’s 2014 for the entire crime family.

Then there were others…Like a former General Miley and Fauci..Both back dated until Jan 2014….

Have to have something of value for a swap, with the hyperinflation they have now who knows.
Just look at the last few years.
2020 1 Dollar buys 150 Argentine Pesos.
Fast forward to today and it’s nearly 1421 Pesos.
https://share.google/fgNBDWzJnAV4PeamA
If there is nothing of value, since the only thing America thinks about is money and not people, then just let the Chinese help them. The Chinese can build them a tractor for 500 dollars, John Deere can’t even make one in the states, and then azz rapes farmers for updates on their garbage.
You know the bailout went to his buddies at BlackRock, Carlyle group, etc.
Only thing Trump would want is to bring some of the girls there to be part of his harem.

No one, I wouldn’t mind trying but I have my doubts anyone would be interested in a 45 year old entering the profession
Tell them how your knowledge on how vaccines work is better than top 1% of experts, how to your students end up in top schools, and how you can predict the next crash. They will make you the next hedge fund manager or get you the C-suite.
You mad bro?
Who posts at 3:48 AM, just saying.
Who is our new poster Borat Al Qatari? Or, is it a regular posting under a different name?
Borat,
It isn’t working. About two years ago, somebody else tried their hand at satire and it was really cringe worthy. I get what you’re trying to do, it isn’t working.
3b,
There’s three or four regular posters who use multiple names.
Fast Wbite Trash Eddie: I don’t get why they do it. It’s childish.
I was thinking that one of the new guys might be RentLord using a different name.
Ah yes, Mr. White Trash Eddie! You say my satire not working? Perfect — it fit right in with your politics!
Your President now biggest Bitcoin herder in the desert of democracy. He mine crypto from the basement while his AI robots steal jobs faster than camel in a sandwich shop. Very smart — soon every American replaced by chatbot named CletusGPT!
Meanwhile, trust in government so low even gold pack bags for Qatar. In my country we have dunes and goats — in yours, you have scandals and press releases.
And what a royal family you have! One First Lady arrive on “mystery modeling visa,” another senator marry daughter of the world’s most exclusive island tour guide. Truly, America breeds its elites like we breed goats — close circle, questionable paperwork.
So yes, Eddie, maybe my humor not work for you —
but still work better than your economy, your ethics, and your air-conditioning in August.
Very nice! Great success!
Humor and satire is supposed to be creative and memorable. Do you think your posts will be memorable beyond the moment someone reads it?
I don’t know.. you can something like the president is mining Bitcoin faster than the Iranians are mining plutonium and Trump and Musk are in business to automate unemployment and the camel is Americanized because not only is he a camel but he now smokes Camels. You Kapeesh?
Ah yes, Mr. White Trash Eddie! You finally make real American poetry: Bitcoin, plutonium, unemployment—three pillars of modern freedom!
Yes, your President mine Bitcoin faster than Iran mine plutonium, and both claim it’s for “peaceful purposes.” At least Iran admit it’s radioactive; Washington pretend it’s innovation.
Trump and Musk automate unemployment? Bravo! In America, robots get the jobs and citizens get the slogans. Very efficient—nobody work, but everybody “thriving.”
And my camel? Totally American now. Smokes Camels, drinks Monster Energy, and files for welfare while ICE kidnaps people in broad daylight for sport. Such land of opportunity—if you’re a drone or a billionaire!
So yes, Mr. Eddie, I “kapeesh.”
In this great nation, the crypto flows, the jobs vanish, the gold soars, and freedom gets handcuffed at a bus stop.
Very nice! Great success!
Some people are gonna end up needing to steal in order to eat soon enough. Others will need to in order to pay rent, or the car payment on their defectively manufactured Ford automobile.
Increases in domestic violence, turmoil in the streets.

US consumers will end up bearing the brunt of President Trump’s tariffs once the taxes finish working their way through the economy, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs economists.
So far, companies have paid the majority of the tariffs, which has shielded consumers from the full impact of Trump’s sweeping levies on foreign goods, according to a group of economists including Jan Hatzius.
Through June, consumers have absorbed just 22% of tariff costs — but their share is expected to jump to 67% as more US firms start to hike their prices, the report said.

Hey Dark…
What’s your opinion of the covid vaccine? I’ve been sick (cold/flu) three times this year — that’s never happened to me before and I assume it’s just the reality of getting older — and just got my flu shot. Is there any value to covid vax at this point?
A ladies dream. Firefighter. Pension. The candy they love.
Must have hooked up with some cops girlfriend.
Vegas style, what are the odds the party materials will go missing?
A FDNY firefighter from Brooklyn was allegedly busted with cocaine and other party drugs in Long Island earlier this month, The Post has learned.
SGC
At the beginning, I was a proponent of the Covid vaccine. I had a first hand view of what that disease could do and what it did to my colleagues. Also, I watched as all of our physicians took it. All races. All religions, all people I respect and are highly educated. If they would take it, so would I. Eventually it was forced on me, as are other meds, part of my job. Caused some of my colleagues to quit.
Vaccines are always a gamble. After taking it, I’m not afraid of it anymore, and who cares anyway, I got that crap in me now anyway. Viruses mutate, it might work, it might not, or you could have a reaction to it.
You are older, so am I. But I don’t fear death. Not one bit.
You might. I can’t see your chart, you could be immunocompromised, or have a family member that is. Maybe you don’t want them to get sick.
My take. Anything you eat, drink, or do runs a risk. No guarantees except death and taxes, oh, and now tariffs. Flu shot, they try to predict what is the strain, you get the predicted vaccine.
I’m not immunocompromised, haven’t heard of anything coming our way, don’t have anybody living with me that isn’t healthy, and haven’t heard peep from my employer demanding it ( we are forced to take the flu vaccine.)
I’m not planning to take it, if they tell me I have to, stick me.
You have to weigh the pros and cons of your situation where you live, your own health, your own fears of death, sickness or vaccines.
I cannot and will not choose for you.
My 5 cents, you asked for two, I don’t have change.
America’s immune system is shutting down. Just in time for the holiday/ flu/travel season.
Come on, infuencers! Go to some far out country, drink some bat spit for likes on TikTok, and bring us home a new novel virus. Or better yet, just be your nasty narcissitic selves to the cabin staff and have the TSA ban you permanently.

No shit Sherlock!
Juice, on the day I was terminated they listed five positions in India for people who do what I do. This time it is different.
Lib – It’s not different..they will always move work offshore. You might think the difference here is accountability, you know laws and all. Well nope..It’s arguably worse than ever. They lie and say they are qualified. There won’t be a background check and when an employee tries to upload the company’s entire source code to his google drive (which is banned here but not there), instead of being fired and arrested, they will get a “taking too”.
No difference really from 35 years ago. The grunt work in any industry will always find the lowest wage if it’s possible to outsource. Just ask Grim he is busy trying to ship millions of jobs to cyberspace….
There is no fault here…Progress whether it was the wheel or the automobile always has casualties.
That is not to say there aren’t good engineers. However, the ones that are good or even awesome all want a visa. You don’t need to ask me why, there was a whole Seinfeld episode about it.
Ah yes, Mr. Juice Box! This is what happen when you vote for Lazy Trump the Desert Sheikh of Mar-a-Lago!
He say he care for citizens — but only if they have yacht, trust fund, or private bunker in Miami. Everyone else? He give you tariffs, not treatment — walls, not welfare.
Instead of helping poor Americans buy insulin, he put tax on toothbrush from Mexico and call it “economic policy.” Meanwhile, your grocery bill so high even camel start fasting for solidarity.
He cut immigration too! Brilliant! Who need doctors, engineers, or farm workers when you have unemployed AI and reality-TV economists? Very efficient — soon lettuce cost $40 but patriotism is free!
And when country struggle, what does Lazy Trump do? He attack opponents on Truth Social! In Qatar, lazy sheikh take nap; in America, lazy sheikh tweet. Very same skill set, just fewer camels.
So yes — congratulations, America! You traded democracy for daytime drama, compassion for campaign merch, and governance for grievance.
Very nice! Great success — for everyone except citizens, goats, and common sense!
Lib – I do have to say they have gotten better in Pune. My boss is headed over soon and apparently excited about it.. I was not invited (not that I care to go) although I took this job for M&A and other executive-level planning and consulting and was told I would be intimately involved, well that hasn’t happened much, as well I am a threat to some in management. Most however are gone now.
I have another year at best at my current gig…Maybe less…I don’t like our AI direction for example. We had some great people doing some awesome work and they let it die on the vine.
I told my wife today we should buy a farm or a vineyard and leave this all behind when our kids are out of school…
Here I am on a Saturday Night, waiting for my 16 year old son to arrive home…and pondering my next move.
Borat Al-Qatari – Your kabush is running away, better get it back as when the oil and gas runs out that is all you will have for company….and habun.
Juice,
Interesting. I ponder a similar future. Thank the lord I saved. Most of my peers have not. I fear my peers represent most of America.
Ahhh Mr. Juice Box, my slippery friend — you say my kabush is running away? At least I still have camel; you seem to have lost both your logic and your job to a chatbot!
You can’t have it both ways, my habibi. One day you wave flag shouting “strong leader, tough tariffs, no immigrants!” Next day you cry, “Why no workers, why groceries cost more than rent?” This what we call economic camel kick — you feed it nonsense, it spit back inflation!
You asked for it, my friend. You said, “Close borders! Tax imports! Punish everyone!” And the government say, “Okay!” Now your wallet on diet and your crops on vacation.
So please, keep your advice. I’ll keep my king, my oil, my free healthcare, and my loyal camel.
You? You got tariffs, tantrums, and tweets.
Very nice! Great success — for me!
Trump had one job! Just one! To protect his citizens!
Last time, he fail — millions get virus, hundreds of thousands die, hospitals full, brain empty!
This time, maybe not from sickness… maybe from hunger!
Very nice — America go from ventilators to empty refrigerators!
He say, “We make America great again.”
Yes! Great at dying during pandemic, and now great at skipping dinner!
In my country, we feed our goats better than he feed his citizens.
Great success!
Meanwhile, your grocery bill so high even camel start fasting for solidarity.

Broad restrictions could cause supply interruptions for arms makers, as well as manufacturers in the semiconductor, automotive and other sectors.
Oct. 12, 2025, 1:23 p.m. ET NYTimes
From cars and computer chips to tanks and fighter jets, China’s new export restrictions represent a sweeping effort to control global commerce and have set off a renewed trade fight that pits Beijing against not only the United States but also Europe.
The new regulations, which take effect in stages on Nov. 8 and Dec. 1, apply to the entire world, sharply escalating China’s sway over critical manufacturing at a time of increased international fractures over trade. The restrictions led President Trump on Friday to threaten to impose new 100 percent tariffs on Chinese imports starting Nov. 1.
The rules go far beyond China’s limits since April on the export of rare earth metals, which are mined and processed mainly in China, as well as magnets made from those metals. In a series of announcements on Thursday, China extended its restrictions to worldwide shipments of electric motors, computer chips and other devices that have become central to modern life and are now manufactured mainly in China.
The regulations prohibit exports from China to any country of materials or components for use in military equipment. Among the items banned are the small yet powerful electric motors in missiles and fighter jets and the materials for crucial range finders in tanks and artillery that are used to zero in on distant targets.
These rules have drawn particular concern in the West because of their potential to debilitate Europe’s efforts to supply arms to Ukraine and to rebuild Europe’s own militaries to counter Russian aggression.
“We’ve entered into a new phase of the economic conflict,” said Jay Truesdale, who worked in the administration of President Barack Obama on critical mineral policies. He is now the chief executive of TD International, a global strategic advisory firm.
Beijing’s decision to put a total ban on exports of materials for military use has geopolitical resonance in Europe. Countries there are racing to strengthen their military defenses from an increasingly aggressive Russia. Many armaments require rare earths and commodities from China. Chinese officials have vigorously opposed European Union tariffs on electric vehicles from China, and some experts saw the export controls as a fresh expression of Beijing’s pique.
The raft of regulations means that companies not involved in arms manufacturing must obtain export licenses from China’s Ministry of Commerce to move products with Chinese content across any national borders around the world. The rules broaden the use of elaborate procedures requiring exporters to submit technical drawings of every product their customers want to manufacture with Chinese rare earths and describe how these products will move through global supply chains.
After arms manufacturers, the global auto industry appears to be the second-most vulnerable sector, rare-earth industry specialists said. The thousands of companies that produce parts were already the hardest hit by China’s requirement in April that many kinds of rare earth magnets cannot leave the country without licenses.
A single gasoline-powered car can have more than 40 different rare earth magnets inside electric motors that power the brakes, seats, steering, power windows and other systems. Electric cars have even more rare earth magnets, which are used to turn the wheels.
American and European auto parts producers have encountered months of delays in obtaining these export licenses. China has started to issue licenses but the process has been slow and cumbersome, industry officials say.
China has modeled its rare earth regulations on American rules for trade in a few of the world’s most powerful computer chips. But rare earths are more widely used.
Many parts manufacturers have stopped assembling electric motors outside China with rare earth magnets from China, and now bypass Beijing’s rules by buying entire electric motors from China. But the latest regulations published by China’s Ministry of Commerce could prevent this workaround.
The rules encompass almost any product in which rare earths make up 0.1 percent or more of the value. That means they cover not just magnets but also electric motors and even much bigger systems that have electric motors with rare earth magnets inside.
The costliest components of car seats, for example, are the motors that adjust them. And the most expensive pieces in these motors are the rare earth magnets.
The new rules apply to any shipments across national borders, not just in or out of China. European automakers, in particular, face a daunting task of seeking Chinese export licenses to move car parts within Europe.
Many companies have recently tried to limit their dependence on China by buying rare earths and rare earth magnets from the few producers outside China. But Beijing’s latest regulations assert jurisdiction over much of this production as well.
The rules also say that any rare earth-related products made outside of China but using Chinese technology are also covered by China’s export control rules.
Rare earth refineries and magnet factories all over the world have been buying Chinese equipment for the past 20 years. Many equipment vendors in North America and Europe closed when most of the world’s rare earth mining shifted to China in the late 1990s.
Ahhh No One! You dream of no government, no taxes, no rules — congratulations, you already found it! It’s called MAGAstan, where the holy leaders preach freedom while writing laws like the Taliban with better Wi-Fi.
Your party scream “Jesus and liberty!” but want women, books, and opinions all covered up. You think you fight tyranny, but you just built it with a Bible and a truck flag.
So yes, my friend, you get what you asked for: a holy desert of hypocrisy. No government, no compassion, just moral police on golf carts.
Very nice! Great success — for medieval times.

A man urinated on a Vatican altar during a holy mass as hundreds of tourists looked on in disgust at the act of desecration Friday, according to local reports.
The unidentified man began his sickening act by scaling the steps of the Altar of Confession at St. Peter’s Basilica — in a spot where the sitting pope typically performs mass.
Chicago,
