Good old BR-549. There used to be mom/pop restaurant here named BR-549. Typical greasy spoon with great cheeseburgers and meat/3 vegetable plates.

A developer bulldozed it years ago for a CVS.

If I predict what is going to happen, doesn’t that make it expected? Or should I purposely not predict what I expect, so I can then say it is unexpected. What exactly do you expect (or not)?

I’m so confused!

My guess is 9.6%

The Administration is already hinting that they are going to count not renewing unemployment “insurance” as people leaving the job market.

If you refuse to count they unemployed as unemployed, then you can make the number better or worse, on demand.

The Politburo can manipulate the Stock Market.
They can manipulate the State News.
They can manipulate History.
They can manipulate Statistics.

Why should we believe ANYTHING they allow us to see?

9.999999995%

no one and nothing will bump the stated unemployment rate up to 10%

Employment/unemployment data has always been manipulated...regardless of who is in the White House. It’s just that with this administration, such manipulation is on steroids.

It will be blamed on the Gulf oil spill and hurricane Alex.

I suspect that the numbers are massaged a bit so that it comes in just under 10%.

I think they go into the un-employment numbers as to the percentage.

I just turned in my gear today. Was offered that 4-6 week gig but boy scout camp and vacation are more important.

Released Census workers will not show up until the July or even August numbers.

My prediction:

9.9999999999%

But fudge it so it is never 10%

I heard a comment (rumor?) on FNC today that they are floating the idea of a “permanent census”. This will add to the *jobs created or saved*, I imagine.
