I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Recessions always start with the layoffs. Then people can’t find any work. Next unemployment dries up because Republicans don’t believe in extensions. Folks can’t afford even the essentials. Businesses shutter.
It’s all painful.
But South Korea gave Trump a pretty gold crown, so he’s happy.

One of the many casualties of the government shutdown is the critical jobs report administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)—and much maligned by President Donald Trump.
Economists say it is especially needed in light of predictions that the US could soon enter a recession.
