Low unemployment is great - unless you're a small business looking for workers

I can go searching central va for $2.00/pd bacon. I can drive all day go to 30 stores and not find any bacon at that price then I can go on Free Republic and tell everyone that there just is no bacon in central va. There is a bacon shortage. DO YOU SEE HOW STUPID THAT SOUNDS? There is PLENTY of bacon at $4.50/pd!!!!!!!

And guess what ... If your budget for bacon is $2.00/pound, you either don't buy it or you BUY LESS OF IT.

LABOR MARKETS WORK EXACTLY THE SAME!!!

Ok fine. You can buy less labor but your competitors, that have brain, will pay for the going labor rate and eat your lunch and put you out of business. Stupid people should be put out of business.

BTW, Mcd's cannot afford to not pay the going rate just like they can't afford to NOT buy hamburgers.

Well, keeping with the N in NBC meaning NEGATIVE, they found something to report that was not positive about high employment.

I would hate to spend Thanksgiving with these people.

>Trump can’t fix everything.

Alas not. BUT, his support for the state initiated suit to overcome the rest of Obamacare, along with any of his judges who may hear the case may provide a path around the Ryanish Rinos and Pelosi Rats protecting it. Win 2020, Trump!House and Senate, with the healthcare status quo reset to status quo ante Obama and there will again be majority support for doing something about healthcare. But the only way to release that pressure will be in a Trumpish direction.

We just dodged a cautionary tale here, thanks to a moment of sanity out of Des Moines, which I’m not sure Albany, Sacramento or a few others would have provided. The amount of incoming water at Davenport’s sewer plant exceeded its capacity to treat that water prior to releasing it into Mississippi River. Incoming amount was high because we’re overflowing with water everywhere and some of the rain water gets into the sanitary sewer system. Press reports Wednesday warned that the official default response to the potential overage would be to close the sanitary sewers at the water treatment. Thus instead of releasing untreated water into the river they’d store it by making everyone in town’s sewer backup. Fortunately someone in the environmental chain of command in Des Moines over rode that and authorized pumping the excess directly into our not so little, on a good day, biggest ever today, river. The solution to pollution is dilution which an all-time record flooding Mississippi should provide. Would Albany have so ruled if the alternative were to back up MAGA sewers?
