“A nation ignorant of the equal benefits of liberty and law, must be awed by the flashes of arbitrary power: the cruelty of a despot will assume the character of justice; his profusion, of liberality; his obstinacy, of firmness” — Edward Gibbon (who wrote ‘The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire’)

Strongest #JobGrowth in More Than a Year?
🤔🤔🤔
That’s the headline. But it’s not the story.
The story is in the walk‑back: what was trumpeted as 584,000 new jobs in 2025 has now been cut down to just 181,000 for the entire year.
That’s not a revision. It’s an audit of fantasy.
An #economy of 330 million people effectively spent a year standing still, averaging about 15,000 #jobs a month, the weakest hiring outside a recession since 2003.
