WHAT? Bloomberg Opinion Editor Says Absence of American Jobs a ‘Good Thing’
NewsBusters ^ | 4/16/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

An asinine Bloomberg op-ed suggested that maybe it’s best if people who lost energy jobs under President Joe Biden’s eco-extremist agenda don’t get the new green jobs he falsely promised at all.

Bloomberg Opinion Editor Mark Gongloff’s op-ed was headlined, “Our Single-Minded Drive to Create Jobs Has Its Drawbacks.” Gongloff’s sub-headline was just as ludicrous: “On some issues, including green energy and immigration, an absence of American jobs can be a good thing.” The story led off with two assumptions that were just awful: “Maybe we don’t actually want green jobs [to rectify for the fossil fuel jobs Biden is killing]. Maybe we should send jobs to Central America.” In a section with a headline that read, “Unpopular Opinions About Jobs,” Gongloff even criticized America for its “universal religion” about creating jobs.

While conceding that it would be “sacrilegious” to suggest policies that don’t create jobs, Gongloff said that “[s]ometimes this is the better way.”

Obama once said that high energy prices was a “good thing”, since it discourage fossil fuel use. Democrats don’t think in terms of what’s good for the people.

Next we’ll hear that death camps don’t deserve their bad reputation.

I was going to comment, but the negatives of this Bloomberg article are so obvious that I don’t have to do so.

Maybe we should send Bloomberg Opinion Editorial positions to Central America. Hmmm, Mr. Gongloff?

While Obama may have said that, other things he said were even worse. For example, Obama said that higher fuel prices would result in Americans saving money because higher fuel prices would cause Americans to buy less fuel saving them money.

I must admit, this is a new one.

And the country begins going another notch down...

“Setting the stage for a lousy economy”

It won’t be a “lousy economy”.
It will be “increased leisure time”.

Instead of unemployment at 4%, we will have “”full leisure time” rates of 15%. “Let’s strive to do better!”

Here is what we can expect in the future. Biden the “brain dead”, or Bloomberg the “enemy of Mankind”. This Gongloff person is either insane, or he expects us all to simply become lemmings and jump off a cliff at his whim. Does he expect this will happen? It seems so. This is person represents the nadir of the human race.

Sounds like your typical Democrat BS. How many people buy fuel just as a luxury? Only those who are rich enough where they don’t need to save money.

I do love the video. Too bad the actual consequences can’t match. We need devine intervention on occasion. A lightening bolt when someone says something so monumentally stupid that someone gets torched.
I always remember a Gallagher skit, loved the guy. His bit was that every driver was issued 10 rubber-tipped darts. If they spotted someone driving in an absolutely stupid manner they’d fling a dart so that it stuck to their back trunk. When they’d accumulated 10, every cop would pull them over and give them a ticket.
Sorta like a street-level jury of your peers: “Punish this A-hole!”
