Maria Bartiromo found a silver lining on the bad July jobs report: "It was obviously weaker than expected, but it did cause a big rally in stocks"

I’m a hiring manager, and I currently have 1 open position that over 5,000 people applied for. I’m pretty sure these job numbers are complete and utter bullshit. This economy is in recession and headed for a deep depression.

Bartoromo's become the worst of the worst. If you wanna stroke off to how well the investor class is doing, she's your gal. Republicans KNOW "the investor class" havin' a great day on the stock market DOES NOT PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE for Working Class Americans, but they just don't care.

Heading for a recession after adding more and more to US debt during good economic times. Now will need to borrow more money to stimulate economy, increasing debt even more. Heading for a catastrophic collapse but the markets will like it bc they might get a rate cut. What a bunch of whores!

Isn’t it alarming that markets are acting like this? Not comforting? The “unlimited” stockpile is not real. The unlimited growth is not real. Am I crazy?

They keep saying the stock market is booming. Eventually even MAGA will look at their own wallet and see that this is beneficial only to the top 5% Regular people need good paying jobs, affordable housing and a halt to the rising costs of food & fuel. There is NO trickle down from big corporations

The obsession with stocks... idk maybe im not the "average American" but stocks are never on my mind. Like price of gas, groceries, diapers stays on my mind. And the total destruction of our national parks and women having our body autonomy taken away.

So the drop in American jobs was bad for people who have to work for a living, but it was good for richer people who can use their excess cash to speculate on the stock market because corporations are hiring fewer people. Is that correct? I'm not very comfortable with that effect.

Nothing likes bad news for workers more than the stock market. If they're unemployed and have no money to spend, they can't drive inflation up more than Trump's shitty policies already have!!

The rich got richer from sticking it to us in prices Marie. And your 401K didn’t make crap unless you invested in certain stocks and oil shorts.

She makes the case for labor vs capital all morning! Then she will spend the rest of the day asking why young people are fine with the DSA.

Please, please, please can somebody stop this lying monumental idiot woman from talking such total rubbish? She is out of her bloody mind, doesn’t know what she is talking about, and hurts our ears and brains.

Great Maria, the market jumps on the backs of people who lost their jobs. The Trump economy and the Trump market. Also blame the GOP led House and Senate. Since they all own stocks, it’s a win for them.

Everybody get it now? The Stock Market has NOTHING to do with real people's lives It is NOT "the economy" It's a rich people's playground Where they play games with our lives

Exactly. Nothing more than betting markets for the wealthy and corporations. Using other people's money. And the decks are always stacked in their favor. Became an unavoidable, runaway train wreck in 2008 and will again.

When I was part of the corporate rat-race during some very bad times in the 1980s and 1990s, I noticed when jobs went up, stocks often went down, and vice versa. During severe recessions! That's when i realized that Wall Street did not represent Main Street.
