“In December, 15.8 million persons reported that they had been unable to work because their employer closed or lost business due to the pandemic–that is, they did not work at all or worked fewer hours at some point in the last 4 weeks due to the pandemic. This measure is 1.0 million higher than in November.”

The economy is so . . so Trump like. We’re going in a different direction. The people have spoken! They want more government. More spending. More taxes. More controls. And more Democrats.
This is doubleplusgood brother!
Sent out 9 resumes, had 3 phone interviews, one face to face, on Monday I do a ‘shadow’ for the position and will likely take the job. Time searching: One week. Will be a great 40+ hour per week position with an expanding veterinary practice. BLS prediction for the industry is it will be the fastest growing job industry through 2029.
No worries. Any day now Biden will tell us that he’ll create 1.5 billion new jobs in his first month in office. The media will accept that claim without question. So let the good times roll.
How many retired and former Wall Street professionals in Florida are being sought out?
Unopposed Dem policies will surely lead to a depression. But at the moment, most employers are still desperate to find people who can pass a drug test.
No probably not but that means diddley squat to the evil DemoKKKrats who shut down businesses and yet are ready to fling open our border doors to the multiple thousands of illegal caravans heading our way! TO HELL WITH THE VIRUS...It’s all about building their base after all! Remember they cheated to get Biden this time they use those thousands and relocate them to red city! They have too... You can only take cheating so far until you get caught. So let the refugees enter sicknesses and all ...anyway our government is ready to do anything to get them to vote with a communist!
If you live near Cedar Creek Lake in Texas, and you can walk and chew gum, I can get you a decent paycheck. Good help is hard to find.
I’ve been selling to the chemical manufacturing industry for almost 35 years. 2015 and 2016 were very bad years. However, since Biden was named President elect, business has been absolutely dead. This is not good at all
Why get a job? Seems like now is the time to start a business and stop depending on someone else for your sustenance.
You’re right about the drug tests! The FBI is having problems recruiting because ~60% of their applicants fail the drug screening. And a lot of those recruits are active duty law enforcement.
Omygosh. There’s such a simple answer. Raise the minimum wage to $20 an hour and raise taxes on small business owners.
I’m retired and just got offered $110,000 per year as a temp in Minneapolis. I said hell no. No way I’m working in that sh*thole.

You may think this is far-fetched and whistling past the graveyard. But there are solid historical reasons for optimism. Let’s assume the Democrats’ basic premise is true, i.e. that Trump lost fair and square. Trump’s loss wasn’t terrible - a couple of hundred thousand votes short in the swing states that decide the White House race. This is in the face of two outlier events - a mass casualty pandemic and the resultant economic depression representing the worst downturn since the Great Depression.
The Democrats expected a complete sweep of the states, both at the White House and Congressional levels. FDR got a 413 electoral vote victory margin. Biden’s was 74. The 1932 House elections gave the Democrats a 196-seat margin, vs the ~12-seat margin they got in 2020. The 1932 Senate elections moved the Democrats to a 22-seat margin, vs the 1-seat margin (thanks to the VP tie breaker vote) they just got after the 2021 GA runoffs. This was a blue wave a toddler could safely paddle in, not a tsunami.
If you accept the Democratic premise that Trump lost by 7m votes, that’s a Biden popular vote margin of 4%. FDR’s victory margin over Hoover? 28%.
That’s why they’re trying to prevent Trump from running again. He’s no Herbert Hoover, whose political career was over the day the results came in. The Dems aren’t afraid Trump will get the 2024 GOP nomination and lose in the general. They’re worried that one hiccup or other before 2024 will send Trump back to the White House with commanding GOP majorities, but this time cleansed of the never-Trumpers who gave him so much trouble in his first term.
If Trump intends to run again, the interval from now until presidential season should* involve the installation of Republicans who support the Trump agenda in the midterms, and the removal of those who don’t. Bannon’s quest to populate elected offices with Trump supporters needs to resume, so that when Trump re-enters the White House, his agenda is ready to go from Day 1.

You could also compare the numbers to those from the Spanish Flu election of 1920. Something similar happened, except this time, the incumbent Democrats lost big, with the GOP getting a 2/3 majority in the House. They would probably have gotten the same thing in the Senate, if every seat was up for grabs, rather than just 1/3. Point being that the pollsters were presumably modeling their blue wave poll results on 1920 and 1932, which were disastrous for the incumbents and resulted in ~300 and up electoral vote victory margins (i.e. winner - loser EV’s). Now that was a mandate. Whereas Biden had a ~70 EV margin, based on 1-2% popular vote margins in the swing states being litigated over. He’s skating on very thin ice.
The big question is obviously whether Trump will run. Given what we’ve seen of Trump’s decision-making process, maybe he himself doesn’t know the answer.
All they have to to is look at liberal cities and there insane policies to see what will happen as this is brought to a national level
The Democrats are trying desperately to fix it so that he can NEVER run again. I use the words “desperate” and “fix” deliberately.
One of the moron Senators in my state made a comment yesterday that’s not going to age well. He complained about the joblessness crisis.
It’s only going to get worse under Biden. Far worse.
For instance. If you had 100 dollars and somebody gave you one dollar, your financial situation just improved by 1%. But, if you only have one dollar and someone gives you one dollar, your financial situation has improved by 100%. Historic increase!
Get ready for it. There are lies and damned lies. And then there are statistics. But nothing beats good old percentages.
Well, technically, percentages are part of statistics. But you know what I mean.
Don't you? Please clap.
