The Biden Presidency

[Jaw]

That one should have gone in the TRHLIM thread. Progressives and decentralization? Amash has been smoking too much libertarian lettuce.

[acesfull86]

Yeah “decentralization “ was a strange word choice. There are plenty of issues where there could be common ground between Amash and AOC, but I’m not sure I would categorize them under that banner.

US added 266k jobs last month, compared to 1 million expected.

This may be the first time in history that jobs are down voluntarily bc it makes no sense to work again

Of course, this is intentional. Hurt small business and create government dependence from the masses

Next month, I look forward to your post providing an explanation for why job growth exceeded expectations.

Btw the ADP report (from a very large processor of payrolls) produced an estimated increase in employment of 742,000. Eventually the BLS and ADP data will converge.

Titans of industry on the internet assure me this can all be solved if businesses just pay more money

There's nothing I want more than people getting back to work.

Work gives people meaning and purpose in their lives. It gives them skills. It gives them a paycheck. It reduces the welfare state.

Also people working are not the ones rioting and insurrecting every night

The left and the globalists want centralization. Not just in government but business.

Correct. Less small businesses. More corporations are easier to control/coordinate with.

This is an actual coordinated attack against small businesses. And the useful idiots cheer it on bc their loyalty to their religion blinds them to their usual support of small business

The party the moves to trust busting and strengthening of the nuclear family will dominate the political landscape for decades.

Even CNN can't deny the wave of massive inflation that is incoming.

Lol you sweet summer child.

If only you had any basic comprehension of costing out production for a business. When was the last time you've talked to a maker? Like someone who creates something. We have been talking about the COVID crunch for a hot minute.

Ive consulted for global manufacturers.

I assure you I’ve had just a bit more experience than you.

But please, continue on with your pretend knowledge and experience ‘working’ at your girlfriends families restaurant.

The fed keeps printing.

The government keeps spending.

A disaster is coming

[sturg33]

Goodness, they also revised March numbers down another 78k.

Unemployment went up.

Wages are skyrocketing.... which supports the "people are making enough on Unemployment not to bother working" theory.

I wonder if more states will follow Montana lead. I imagine it will once again be red states that lead the way, like they have done with covid restrictions and school openings.

The ****hole states will continue improverishing their citizens and wait on the next multi trillion bailout

We've seen it everywhere. Grocery bills are way up compared to pre COVID, gas is up something like 40% since the election, the average lumber cost of building a new house has increased around $30k, new cars are scarce and sky high due to stimulus check down payments, electronics have gone up because of component shortages...

Once the costs of construction, food, transportation, labor, and electronics all go up, there isn't much that won't be affected.

While my stock portfolio is all time highs.

As always, leftist policies are a boon to the rich, and completely **** over the poor. The inflation tax easily offsets the "stimulus" check they now depend on

It’s impossible to discuss basic macro economic issues with leftists.

This was all too predictable and of course intentional.

I can’t get out of New York soon enough but with the mass exodus already happening my wife has gotten so much work it’s stupid. Ah well.
