And every $1 million roughly equates to 8 jobs lost.
So that’s 29,000 more lost jobs.

Over the past three months … I’ve discouraged any of my family and friends from even going near the US … even to get transit flights
Want to fly to Asia? … get a direct flight, pay extra, don’t land in the US on your way there or back
Want to go to Europe? … get a direct flight, pay extra, don’t even think of landing in the US
Want to go to the US? … forget it! … go to Asia or Europe instead!
I’m in Canada in Ontario and my cousins are in France right now enjoying a month long holiday there. They had originally planned to take cheaper flights connecting through New York from Toronto. I spent about a month hounding them to get them to rebook and avoid landing in New York. As the headlines got worse and worse in the US, they finally agreed and paid a bit extra and flew direct from Montreal instead. Even their return flight was originally supposed to be through New York but they changed that too to fly direct back to Canada.
If I want to go from Australia to Europe, I’m probably going through Canada or Mexico. Don’t really want to go through the UAE either, or over (self-proclaimed) Israeli airspace.
Based on the research firm’s original projections, the U.S. economy was expected to gain $16.3 billion in revenue, according to an analysis by Forbes. Instead, the total deficit may be as high as $28.8 billion.
It’s weird IMO to count in expected gains that never realized when calculating a deficit.
Why is that weird?
If every calculation they had was pointing to that increase, backed up by historical growth rates, and suddenly this policy not only guts that increase, but reverse it into a decline, it makes sense to count that.
Stock evaluations are forward looking. Businesses operate on expected earnings, and earnings growth.
These aren’t just hopes and wishes that they make this money based on nothing. Are they guaranteed? No. Can they give a good idea of the direction things are headed from the current point barring any changes? Yes
Football World Cup is going to be interesting next year.
No it won’t.
Qatar is about as awful as the United States, even worse in some aspects, and nobody gave a shit then. The sad truth is that the average football fan is just gonna watch irregardless.
