re: 2026: A nowhere to hide market?

The realities of what AI is about to do to the global economy over the next decade are beginning to set in
2
You can see it in tracking the consumer confidence numbers over the last few months
At least the democrats left it up to the voters in CA (and will in VA) via referendum. The GOP has just acted via the legislatures without giving voters a say in the process

Undoubtedly it is with all the leftists filing constant suits against every single move Trump makes. Somehow this pressure wasn't there when previous presidents deported illegals and made executive orders.
This is largely the result of the SCOTUS banning national injunctions.
re: ADP: Payrolls up Only 22k in Jan-26

Pay increases are not outstripping inflation. AI is different from industrialization in that it is the first time humanity is building machines that will outsmart our race
This is a very well written post

That's about the only explanation possible, at least if the next month’s data confirms the GDP growth. If it is true, then we are indeed late on Fed cuts. But if we cut the Fed rate we had better embrace budget austerity or else we will ignite inflation.
How are rate cuts going to thwart the impacts of AI on the labor markets?
quote:
This is a puzzling data set. We are having a boom in GDP growth but it is jobless. The GDP growth, with inflation running a little high at 2.7%, suggests we stand pat of fed rates. The joblessness suggests cuts. I don’t recall ever having seen this, and I’m starting to believe that Bessent might be correct and the GDP boom is due to historic productivity gains.
I don’t think it is that puzzling. It is pointing to the initial impacts of AI adoption in the American workforce
Where have you seen inflation south of 2%

Wouldn’t the DOJ be the ones bringing these “obstruction of justice against ICE officials cases”
He was on his 5th term. They couldn’t have been that bad

The party in power will always be judged mainly based on how strong the labor markets and real wage growth performs
quote:
They are different: Industrial Revolution replaces physical labor vs AI replacing mental labor. IR took decades and AI is taking months it seems. We would be widening the inequality gap. AI will be more disruptive I believe. Time will tell
AI combined with robotics is going to disrupt physical labor too. Manufacturing and logistics are the obvious examples. Automated driving threatens truck drivers and taxi drivers as well. Robotics will likely take over industries like cleaning and restaurants as well. Even construction could take a hit if 3D-printed structures really take off—which they likely will over time.

I have, and the company I work for is not backfilling anything and pumping AI as hard as they can

Go look at the labor and wage growth stats

The job market is just flat out bad right now (particularly for younger Americans) and is suppressing wage growth. Unless that trend reverses this year, the GOP is going to have a rough fall

It’s unavoidable. We don’t save jobs for the sake of the people in them. Massive headcount reductions in the next 10 years. People will have to evolve to meet new demands. Whatever that may be.
No political party is going to be able to win anything attempting to run on this platform.
Remember how much Obama got crapped on for telling people they should learn how to code?
AI Pushback
Posted by IMSA_Fan on 2/2/26 at 8:45 am
There was a strong article in the WSJ this morning about growing resistance to building data centers in rural areas.
It’s becoming clear that voters in deep-red regions are pushing back hard on AI, citing rising energy costs from data centers and fears of labor market disruption. Many are saying plainly that they don’t want AI reshaping, or destroying, their way of life so wealthy tech elites can get richer while the working class continues to get squeezed.
Do you see Trump and the GOP changing course on these issues in response to that pressure?

Wasn’t it addressed in United States v. Wong Kim Ark?
There is no way this is true - that these guys are making $200k per year
Trump is as globalist as they come
re: Possible arrests & unsealing of an indictment in Minneapolis tomorrow

I have a hard time seeing her get anything to trial via a jury in a Minneapolis Federal Court given how political everything political everything as the moment
That’s going to be expensive
I don’t really know what his end game is here. He cannot get an annexation vote through the congress. Thus, what is the point?
re: Pam Bondi ‘Bout To Start Stackin’ Bodies
Posted by IMSA_Fan on 1/19/26 at 6:24 pm to LuckyTiger
Bondi and the Trump DOJ has to realize that she’s never going to walk into a federal courtroom in a blue city and get charges to stick under a grand jury if the trial seems remotely political at all

Good luck getting that to trial in DC Federal court

Raising kids full time sucks a lot worse than working 9-5. Women of this generation have realized this and aren’t going back.
re: Greenland statement from POTUS!
Posted by IMSA_Fan on 1/17/26 at 11:05 am to AncientTiger
It’s going to be interesting to see what Trump does to congress when they refuse to pass legislation and funding to annex Greenland.
I think this might be the final nail in the coffin for tariffs at the SCOTUS. If this isn’t executive use of power, I don’t know what is

At least the Dems are leaving it up to the voters via referendums. You haven’t seen that in any gerrymandering efforts by the GOP over the last year
