Ah yes that yUge differential in a whopping .3% from now/2018 until 2019.

You'll have to ask the Bureau of Labor that one I guess? 🤷♂️ And if you actually do the math based on the 162,290,000 - the % difference in unemployment rate from current to Feb2020 is the ~750k I mentioned (or you could just look at the graphs above to show the numbers).

Larry Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Thinking this is the right place for this, since I think it's more about the economy than about Covid. Just wondering how many people who pretend to worship The Free Market think that the government needs to mandate how much money an employee is allowed to make. Also wondering how many who are OK with this, think that mandating a maximum pay for your job is all right. But that mandating wearing a mask or getting a flu shot equals the Holocost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, he did explain his number after people essentially called him a stupid liar though… 🤔 the economy probably isn’t as healthy as it was two years ago, but it is still pretty good. I don’t think it’s particularly useful to compare unemployment under Biden and trump because the situation is so different. There are a lot of former unemployed that have taken themselves out of the labor market and therefore aren’t unemployed anymore. But (and this isn’t what @steve09ru is saying) even if we all decide to agree president trump was the best president for the economy we ever had (he’s not) he is still the worst president we ever had. Attacking him on his economic policy is weak. Edited February 7, 2022 by CousinsCowgirl84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fail at this stuff all the time. Nixon to Reagan used entertainment to slip in their messages. Like just say no. Granted there wasn't twitter for people to complain about an episode of whatever. But in the end. Producing a clean clear simple message is something they suck at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
