On a slightly different note, May unemployment rate in California stood at 4.3% compared to 4.2% in Texas. It would appear that the natural order of things is restoring itself. I'm surprised that Texas is not doing better considering high oil prices.

NY 4.4%. NJ 3.9%. Massachusetts 3.9%.

How could you possibly be defending COVID policies at this point?

Also curious, does California count homeless people in the unemployment data? I'd suspect they don't

That has been especially a problem in certain rural areas and among a certain demographic group (older white blue collar men). It isn't a moral failing on their part. They have been caught up in a set of circumstances where economic forces have worked against them and have also been victimized by predatory behavior by some people in the medical and pharmacological industries.

Since I am an expert whose business it is to know such things I offer answer. Most of the homeless are excluded from both the numerator and the denominator that are used to calculate the unemployment rate. But a minority of homeless people are actively seeking employment and some of those count as unemployed if they have no job. There is another minority of homeless people who have jobs. A bigger number than most people realize. Some estimates are that a quarter of homeless people have jobs. I met one a few years ago who was living out of his car. He told me not to feel sorry for him. He had made some mistakes and had some bad luck but was sure he would get back on his feet. The only thing he would accept from me was a jumpstart for his car.

lol I understand that society continues to exist... because most people are not gay

my question is how does homosexuality act as a "normal" setting in the evolutionary process?
 
probably have to ask an " expert"
i joke

My guess is animals instinctively care for one another in various forms.
I dont think Gentoo Penguins feel stigmatized by their
care or affection for those with the same genitals - as do humans.

Normal?
Still dont know what you mean by normal ?

Ah. You've jogged my memory. I believe that was due to Texans overusing their electric dildos.

To your point Texas had the solar and wind infrastructure in place a month ago. But they had six power plants unexpectedly go offline during a heat wave.

But yes, bravo Texas for using renewables to diversify their sources of electricity and reduce their carbon footprint. To be commended.

Customer called me from the dem paradise of Cali yesterday and mentioned they have 3hr rolling power blackouts. Residential/Commercial matters not, no heads up no nothing just powerless for 3hrs a day.

Impressive honestly
 
The amusing thing is that these idiots that vote for Democrats in these cities would see their cities improve almost overnight if they changed their voting patterns.
