I guess we are really going to get good labor numbers now-Duh, I don't know nothing about project 2025.
President Donald Trump has named a Project 2025 architect to replace the labor statistics chief he fired earlier this month after receiving a disappointing jobs report.
Trump is nominating E.J. Antoni, an economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, to serve as the next commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Meanwhile as things like this and telling all law enforcement officials including the National Guard "can do anything the want" on the streets of D.C, Chuck Schumer has fake friends.

The way things are going, the tariffs won't even be in effect by December #artofthedeal
That could be true for some, especially China. In those cases, we’d have to look out further to see when then-current stockpiles are depleted to see what the pricing does.
Others have already taken effect, though. For product lines replenishing now-depleted stocks, we’d have to look and see what follow on wholesale pricing impacts there are, because you would figure those costs then snowball into the retail unit costs for the end consumer.

It’s still ticking up. I do hope that it doesn’t rise. Nobody wants that to happen.
That being said, from all the chatter coming from industry, it sounds like companies have been shuffling the cards as much as possible to minimize tariff impacts, but that won’t be inevitable into perpetuity.
P&G already talked about raising prices potentially 25% because companies can’t keep absorbing those without passing on the costs. That’s just common sense.
When Elon ranted against Trump in his June tirade, he predicted the tariffs would cause a recession in the second half of this year. I don’t know about full blown recession, but I do think we look toward December of this year to see if the proverbial chickens begin to come home to roost.
Our main equipment supplier just sent us a note that they've tried to hold out on price increases as much as possible but now are putting in a 10% price hike.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
So.... Trump gets to smooze and accept a plane for a nation that sponsors Hamas.And then the US administration is telling the UK:
US state department says Labour government ‘repeatedly intervened to chill speech’ online after Southport attack
This was during riots and preventing people on social media from telling others where to got and set fire to accomodation where asylum seekers were detained.
They sure do have an agenda and it sure is uncannily similar to project 2025

I also called him out as the "Midway Barker at the annual county/state fair."
I've not changed my tune since then, back in 2025.
He's still the same huckster, rolling out the same scams. The only thing that confounds me is the longevity of his schtick upon his marks.
This man is not, and has never been presidential material.
He knows it, in his heart of hearts. You & I know it. 35% of America disbelieves what the rest of us know.
They cannot be reached- because they are the same folks who annually attend the county fair- and plunk down their hard-earned money on the same midway gags that sucked their parents' money, a generation before.
Professional politicians have let us down. Of that, there can be no denial. But this F#ng dude is not, and never shall be The Solution.
On a more serious note, the article does give a taste on how tough it is to clearly/simply quantify something like overall inflation. Ignoring any and all intentional misleading that's gone on with these numbers, it's not hard to look at snippets of the data or pay extra attention to certain metrics over others and get a bad read on what's going on in the economy.

Yeah, this is a data point and we still need to get the whole picture. I do like to look at this stuff, though, because I think it's good to do our best to examine all points that may accumulate to a "trend." This may be a one-off and may not be.
I also like to dig into this because all the contractors I negotiate utilize the PPI for their escalation figures. We are somewhat exempt from the tariff effects because our acquisitions are duty-free (which obviously makes sense), but we are making a big drive for commercial item acquisition as well. Anything that we procure that is considered "commercial" would not be duty-free, which gives me anxiety about what kind of long-term agreements our contractors would be willing to sign up for at this point. Those are more of a staple in military acquisition than people realize. If we now have to negotiate major systems on a more annual basis - with staffing figures that have been "DOGE'd" - this will have major impacts to acquisition timelines in addition to costs.

Wholesale prices rose 0.9% in July, much more than expected
Wonder if any MAGA posters van find some rando twitter post to tell us this is Biden's fault or maybe its not happening at all? Maybe we need to fire anyone who calculates or reports the inflationary numbers.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
If I'm looking at the right thing, these indices have steadily risen over the past 5 years.

Do you mean when the entire globe was suffering from global inflation? I had no idea that trump's intentional tariffs could be compared to a global pandemic. But then I never actually thought about trump as a disease. Maybe I should have.
BTW- Inflation was heading significantly downward in 2023. And continued downward long after that.
