My daughter's daycare just sent out an email about potentially needing to layoff staff because new babies about to start withdrew because of parental job losses. So if you're wondering how government layoffs and mass contract cancellations will affect the economy, here's an example

He needs a daycare for his child. It’s not the time for jokes.
Perhaps read before posting.
Chaos and uncertainty bring economic recession!

Those who voted Republican didn't seem to think of that or care
lawyers need to file law suits NOW 💸
inter-connected everything is or they just don't care. Bad decisions trickle through all segments of the workforce and society.
If that happens, then all 10 families will have no childcare!
Disadvantaging children in this important developmental stage has huge long-term economic implications, as well as personal costs to those children.
Awful situation.
And the nightmare continues...
My sister lives in the heart of a red state - Idaho. Property tax went up by $200.00 affecting their mortgage.
They voted blue - knowing it would not count for much - but in the long run everyone suffers!
Figure minimum $1800/mo for babies
I’ll be paying $215/week for my tween to go to daycamp this summer and that’s pretty cheap for the area. That is with families sending their own sack lunches and snacks.
In a post from last year, my local Reddit sub reported ~$350/week for infants. 😵💫
If you are in a single earner family and your earner is being paid $20 an hour, it's more than 25% of your family income.
We feds lose our jobs or fear losing our jobs spend less. That means businesses cut back hours/wages/staff or even close.
This isn’t difficult to understand.
People who think this is only a DC issue are going to have a rude awakening.
Tired- that is what I meant.
Thanks.
That $880M from Medicaid is going to put a lot of elderly in danger, take their kids out of the workforce, and lead to massive layoffs in nursing home staff.
So frickin' dumb!
men, step up and care for your own damn kids!
Note that this fails for the ultra wealthy.
We could’ve had that and more.
But noooooo they want to make the rich richer. And America poorer 😔
"Global Pacification Industry"
I think feudalism is the model. They're anti-worker, anti-paycheck, anti-power-sharing as described in our Constitution. The billionaire jerks self-anointed as special and superior want the rest of us toiling for them. Fungible.
musk can make mistakes. We can't.
don't be
and means several useful govt services have also been cut, from helpful farm information, to home gardeners, to prenatal care and to clean sewer/water services, etc. that really doesnt work out to a net savings, especially when you factor in lost fed/state/local taxes, you have a real net loss.

Planning to only spend for necessities. God only knows what’s ahead so will be focusing on saving more than spending.

So awesome for the economy
Again, I say, "Be careful what you ask for!"
Seriously it needs to be talked about more, the role George W. Bush played in making this mess of a country that much more wasteful, on so many levels
John McCain passed a bill alongside Bernie damn Sanders. That says something about both of them.
Saying that as very, very much a Bernie supporter
SHIT... I LOVE ME SOME BERNIE!!! ULTIMATE FREEDOM FIGHTER!!! THE O.G.
I hold him in such a high regard
The time he, at his own rally mind you, defended Barack Obama against Islamophobia was astonishing and does not go unremembered
Long term, no.
Seemed like a genuinely good guy but his politics aren't aligned with mine to say the least

Resist! Disobey! And call your Representatives and Senators and tell them you don’t like ANY of Trump’s MAGA policies !
That’s not an exaggeration.
Of course they probably have no idea of what that is at all.
We can live just fine off of my salary, but there’s no guarantee that my job is safe in a deep recession.
