Have Trump's tariffs worked? This is where things stand a year after 'Liberation Day' It has been a year since President Trump announced double-digit tariffs on imports from around the world. So far, those levies have not produced the economic boom the president promised.

"We will supercharge our domestic industrial base," Trump said in announcing the tariffs last year.

But manufacturing has been in a slump for most of the last year. U.S. factories employed 89,000 fewer people as of a February since the Liberation Day tariffs were announced a year ago.

Companies Cut 60,000 Jobs In March—And AI Is Largely To Blame Oracle, Meta, Block and other tech companies are heavily investing in AI—at the cost of human workers.

The tech sector led job cuts in both March (18,720 cuts) and in the first quarter of the year, when more than 52,000 positions were eliminated, Fortune said.

Transportation, health care, education, finance and media followed as the sectors with the most job losses so far this year.

Down the bottom right, on the label, is a ‘R’ for registered trade mark, but there is an arrow pointing to it, saying “Rated ‘R’ for “Rooted.” In the background are mixed chopped vegetables.

AI needs to be banned, at least for now. We don’t have a handle on it. Aside from that, it is significantly reducing entry-level positions, hindering the career ladder if not breaking it. It’s estimated that 30% of US jobs could be automated by 2030.

Tilray Acquires BrewDog, Resulting in 484 Job Losses and Bar Closures Nearly 500 jobs are expected to be lost following the acquisition of Scottish craft brewer BrewDog by American cannabis and craft beer company Tilray Brands. BrewDog entered administration after financial struggles, leading Tilray to acquire the business for £33 million. The deal will result in 484 job cuts and the closure of 38 BrewDog bars, while 733 other UK jobs will transfer to Tilray. The company’s brewery in Ellon, Aberdeenshire, and its distribution center in Motherwell, Lanarkshire, will remain under Tilray's control. Crowdfund investors involved in BrewDog's early initiatives, known as “equity for punks,” are expected to receive no returns from the sale. Tilray’s CEO, Irwin D. Simon, emphasized a commitment to reviving BrewDog’s craft beer focus and returning the brand to profitable growth. Meanwhile, Harriet Cross, MP for Gordon and Buchan, described the job losses and bar closures as “disastrous” for the North East of Scotland and the broader UK hospitality industry. Tilray is also pursuing acquisitions of BrewDog assets in the US and Australia. The takeover highlights the financial challenges facing the craft beer and hospitality sectors, as well as the impact on employees and small investors.
