In the Obama Era, bad news such as listed here, is just not reported.
If a Republican were president, I bet that we would hear much more about business failures and struggles of major retailers.
Instead, we get doctored unemployment figures, and other distorted economic news.
The media just can’t bring themselves to report anything which would reflect badly on the Obama administration policies.
Any bad news which does get reported, gets reported with the qualifier that some outside force caused the problems. For example, the recent reports that the economy contracted in the 1st quarter of 2014 was blamed on bad weather.
In the era of Obama, any bad things happening will be blamed on some outside force out of anyone’s control, rather than on the policies of this president.
The media and their party politicized the economy for their own purposes. When their media started crowing about the 1st recovery summer, just a few months after baraq slithered into office, I knew then it was bs.
When Reagan inherited a much bigger mess from Carter, it took a couple of years to turn the economy around. And yet baraq got credit for turning it around in a few months.
Here we go into wreckovery summer version 6.0
I said in 2008, before Obama screwed Hillary over, that as soon as Hillary was in office the media will start reporting on how hunky dory everything is. Now I believe it’ll be the opposite if a republican replaces Obama and it’ll be the republicans’ fault, especially if they take the senate.
If a Republican were president, I bet that we would hear much more about business failures and struggles of major retailers.
Yep, if a Republican was President, the drivebys would magically rediscover homeless people, like they always do.
There are two sets of numbers reported.
The first appears to be seasonal for the first quarter. Declines are < 2%
The second figures are double digit, some very large double digit. Those are the problematic companies. If they can’t resume a normal level they are infact in bad shape.
Like Risk where you gain resources as enemies are vanquished, those with <2% decline will gain sales as the weaklings die.
It is positively Darwinian...... the most fit survive. Those unfit die off
