Just how unknowledgeable about the economy is Joy Reid? So much so that it drove even the liberal Ron Insana . . . insane, obliging him to correct her misstatements.
[snip]
At one point, echoing Andrew Yang, Reid claimed that there are "no humans" working in supermarkets, just customers checking themselves out, "and like two people have jobs in the grocery store."
Interjected Insana: "well, that's a little extreme. I mean, there are two [self-checkout] kiosks in the grocery store, and there are people [working there.]"
The depth of Reid's misunderstanding of economics was glaringly exposed when discussion turned to the unemployment rate. Insana mentioned that, by any measure, "we are at full employment. The unemployment rate is 3.6%."
Reid had earlier said that the employment rate was "plussed up" because people are working multiple jobs, at Lyft, Uber, etc., and here insisted: "but it's full-plus because people have three jobs!"
That was too much for Insana: "I'm not sure that's an entirely accurate description of what's going on in the economy." A diplomatic way of telling Reid she didn't know what she was talking about!
At that point, Reid and the other panelists, lefties all, started squawking at him. Exclaimed Reid: "here's what every Lyft driver I've ever had said: it's their third job!"
Retorted Insana: "you know I do this for a living, right?" In response, hyper-lib Karine Jean-Pierre, an MSNBC contributor and spokesperson for the far-left MoveOn.org, let out a loud, disapproving, sigh.
Responded Insana: "well, you can get exasperated with me."

How is it possible for the host of a network show to be this ignorant about economics?
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Welcome to the Super Stupid Show
It’s in their job description.
People who live in a bubble don’t know they live in a bubble.

Reid claimed that there are "no humans" working in supermarkets, just customers checking themselves out, "and like two people have jobs in the grocery store." guess the b!tch has servants to do her shopping
Right Joy, all the shelves stock themselves. The carts are self driven. The meats are all born prepackaged.
Sounds more like something Will Rogers would say.
Should have looked it up before commenting....It was Twain.
Actually, I did look it up. It is unclear who is ascribed to saying this. Probably each said much the same thing in slightly different ways. Not really the point here.
When somebody gets sick at 3AM and I am fresh out of ipecac, I tell the patient to picture the cast of the view naked
Bet it was a long time ago since this dingbat was actually inside a grocery store.
A Walmart Grocery opened in my small town (15k population) about 4 years ago. It ran ads to hire around 95 people for the various 24/7 shifts.
They do not all work at the checkouts. They are product stockers, etc.
So some unknown wankers said some things you are
owed a free ride in life?
Get a job you great idle stain.
It amazes me the lengths these ultra-stupid dim/socialists will go to discredit this Trump economy. Notice all the black folks on the panel. If they weren't so hateful, they'd be applauding the President's success for increasing black employment. Still stuck on ignorance and the plantation of the race baiters.
Tell them about it Mr. Kanye West and others recently encouraging the black community to get their act together and quit following the Dims' never-ending failed condescending failed policies.
Perhaps GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN Beto O’Mao could come out from hiding behind her panrsuit and explain.
Joy Reid is clearly not mentally competent to walk the streets and should be put in custodial care until a legal guardian can be appointed.
Oh, that’s terrible!
