US ECONOMY: 4 BIG WARNING LIGHTS ARE FLASHING RED

The US economy is showing clear signs of fracture beneath surface-level AI exuberance. A data breakdown reveals synchronous deterioration in labor, corporate health, and leading indicators.

1️⃣ MASSIVE JOB CUTS ARE HAPPENING NOW

So far in 2025, over 1.2 million Americans have been laid off. The government, UPS, Amazon, Ford—big names in every sector are cutting thousands of jobs. When this many people lose their income at once, it hurts everyone's spending power.

2️⃣ FACTORY JOBS ARE DISAPPEARING FAST

Despite Trump's trade wars, US manufacturing is in a deep slump.

Lost -18,000 jobs in November—the 2nd worst drop this year.

Employment has fallen in 25 of the last 35 months.

A key gauge of factory hiring has been in contraction for 10 straight months, signaling more losses ahead.

3️⃣ CORPORATE SOLVENCY CRISIS

Bankruptcy filings indicate a liquidity squeeze.

Small Business: A record 2,221 have filed for bankruptcy this year—that’s +83% over 5 years. High costs are crushing them.

Large Corporate: 717 large firms have gone bankrupt in 2025, the most in 15 years—a +93% jump since 2022.

4️⃣ A KEY GROWTH ENGINE IS STALLING

Sales of heavy trucks have crashed -47% in three months. This kind of collapse only happens in recessions. Trucks move everything; this plunge means companies expect less shipping and construction.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

The data depicts an economy decoupling: AI-centric growth versus broad-based deterioration in traditional channels. The critical question is whether capital concentration in tech can offset synchronous stress in employment, Main Street viability, and industrial demand.
