Jobs are falling. Spending is, too. That’s a problem

One of the main pillars propping up the US economy — consumer spending — may be starting to crack.For years, a resilient job market has kept Americans from pulling back on their spending, despite persistent fears about where the economy is heading.

Used by all sides in conflict zones to disrupt the paths of drones and missiles, the process involves militaries and affiliated groups intentionally broadcasting high-intensity radio signals in the same frequency bands used by navigation
