Calif has a major RINO sellout as governor

[Mark]

But...but.. the LA Times wrote an article about some enjoying getting laid off because they can enjoy more “Family Time”.
They did forget that angle during the Bush administration.

"I’d have bet money that 2 out of 5 is 40%."

Back (Many moons ago) when I was an electrical engineering student (With slide rule only, no computer, no calculator) 2 of 5 was 40%.
Now with politically correct crowd(and a PC that can calculate rings around my slide rule, and not wanting to offend CA it might not be 40%. . . . . .

The article said ...

The last time employment levels among this group were this low was February 1977, according to a study by the California Budget Project, a Sacramento-based nonprofit research group that advocates for lower- and middle-income families.

Well..., that's not the typical way that unemployment/employment figures are given, or else they wouldn't have a figure of 40% (that's 2 out of 5). The best I can figure it would be to go back to February of 1977 and see what they stated the unemployment figures were then. That would be the figure that would be relevant now.

I have no doubt that the unemployment is higher than the given figures but 40%? Sounds like a state bureaucrat who want’s to find some figures that justify a federal handout.
