“It always came out “good” for...odongo”
Odongo’s reign came 2 years after I finished college. Everything sucked for 8 straight years... wages, food/gas/utility prices, job openings, etc. And every day I had to listen to this garbage telling people like me how great it all was because “the numbers don’t lie!”
The only light in the tunnel came in the fall lead ups to the 2012 and 2016 elections. Gas prices dipped a bit to make us feel like the economy was turning around. After Mittens was soundly dismissed, of course, everything went straight back in the toilet for another 4 years.
Yes, I spent two and a half years unemployed starting a month after he was elected. Never thought I would have a problem. I obviously knew jack-squat about age discrimination back then. It was tough. I finally did land a job and everyone there thought I was a jack of all trades national treasure. I was constantly asked if there wasn’t anything I couldn’t do, lol.
The point was everyone knew I was there to work, didn’t matter at what. Machining, research, statistics, testing, analysis, erection. (chuckle)
And Gen X lost a big part of their place in line.

I just heard this phrase on cbs news (away from home in a hotel at the moment, sorry), in this instance applied to dc crime. CBS never mentioned counter arguments of manipulated statistics— amazing (not)…
