What's this

#Nepali coordinating #revolution on #Discord, almost 10,000 on one conference call

They're calling it the "#GenZ" #protests. It was sparked by a crackdown on #SocialMedia but the base frustration is #corruption, #nepotism, #unemployment, and #inequality. 19 protesters were killed on Monday, I'll spare you a viewing of that video, and Tuesday #Parliament and the #SupremeCourt were set on fire. The prime minister has resigned. The government has fled.

"It's official:🚨The US now has more unemployed people than job openings for the first time since April 2021.

In July, the US had:
7.18 million job openings
7.24 million unemployed people

This is yet another crack in the labor market that illustrates how much harder it is to get a new job right now than what we've seen in a long time."

For decades, Republicans have pretended to be the "party of the private sector" by falsely claiming that the economy only adds government jobs under Democratic presidents.

Today's jobs report from ADP disproves that GOP talking point and shows once again that Democrats are the true party of private-sector job creation, which has slowed dramatically under Trump:

This article is hard to stomach for all those of us currently looking for work, and not finding anything suitable, or anything at all. But it’s good that at least rising #unemployment is recognised now.

My own #redundancy last year and subsequent struggles have made me so alert to all these wider structural changes; I am really scared that this may be just the beginning. Terrible combination of AI and money going only to the rich
