The Economy Lost 23,000 Jobs and Unemployment Went Down
Read more . . . →The U.S. economy shed 23,000 jobs in July and the unemployment rate went down. Not a typo. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday that payrolls went negative and the rate “improved” to 4.1 percent, because 264,000 people left the workforce entirely. Stopped looking, stopped being counted. Labor force participation is at 61.4 percent, lowest in five years. The rate didn’t improve. The pool just got smaller. This is the number they’ll wave around. Four point one. Strong. Meanwhile average monthly job gains this year sit at 34,000. May’s numbers got revised down by 66,000 after the fact. June got...

This Week on coldplaysucks — Aug 2–9
Read more . . . →Fifty-six tracks this week. House ran the board, DnB stayed relentless, and dubstep had an actual moment courtesy of some people I assumed had retired. A lot of ground to cover and most of it was worth covering, which is its own problem for a digest. Track of the Week Nero & Taiki Nulight - We’re Not Alone (ft. Emily Makis) Nero making dubstep again in 2026. That sentence alone would have been enough for this slot. “Welcome Reality” was the record half of us blew speakers to in the early 2010s, and hearing them lean back into that weight...

Where ICE Goes, Jobs Go Too
Read more . . . →Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent went on television this week and said the quiet part at volume ten: “Where ICE goes, rents go down.” That’s the sales pitch — deport your neighbors and your landlord might charge you less. What he left out: the economy lost 23,000 jobs in July. First negative payroll number in years. Healthcare hiring slowed to a crawl. Construction craters every time enforcement surges. For every six undocumented workers ICE pushes out of a community, one American-born worker loses their job too. That’s from economists studying payroll data in hundreds of cities. The jobs don’t get “freed...
