NEWS: U.S. layoffs in July surged to highest level since the early months of the COVID pandemic, jumping 29% from June and 140% compared to July 2024.

US BUDGET DEFICIT SOARS

The deficit jumped 19% to $291B in July. This is despite $21B collected from Americans due to higher import taxes, which led to higher costs on goods like furniture, footwear, and auto parts.

The deficit for 2025 is already $1.63 trillion, up 7% from the last year.

It's 2025 and you're telling me that a PM who manages building software doesn't know how to explain 'backend' changes to the client?

Me: Hey this method's a little wonky, do you what the intent was when it was written?

Lead: Not sure, check the history (blame)
