Another left-wing media hatchet job trying to scare people about the economy.

Fortune is now off my reading list along with other MSM rubbish.

I hope they fold.

Lowest unemployment, best stock market in years with a commercial construction boom and Trump is bad for business?

What are these people smoking?

Dear Morons at Fortune

Business in the USA is not defined but what Hedge Fund billionaires want.

Your article demonstrates an almost total lack of any real competence on this topic. Stop lying and simply admit what you are really arguing. Trump is bad for the globalist outsource gods your sort have been worshiping for the last 30 years. What some people have called “the cheap labor express to economic hell”

The fact of the matter is the US People are winning and the billionaire hedge fund mangers are losing for a change

It's a Middle-Class Boom

Cramer: Like or hate Trump, ‘these are the best numbers of our lives’ on jobs
CNBC ^ | 12/06/2019 | Matthew J. Belvedere
Posted on 12/6/2019, 5:42:14 PM by Kid Shelleen

CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Friday no matter your view on President Donald Trump there’s no denying we’re living in the best labor market in more than a generation.

“You can’t contradict that these are the best numbers of our lives. You can’t,” Cramer, 64, said following the government report showing the U.S. economy created a better-than-expected 266,000 nonfarm jobs in November, with the unemployment rate dipping to 3.5%, matching a 50-year low. Economists had expected the jobless rate to hold steady at 3.6% last month.

“People don’t want to say good things” about the economy, said Cramer, echoing comments he made Thursday evening on “Mad Money,” telling investors: “Don’t let the armageddonists and the negativists and the hucksters scare you away from owning stocks.”

Referring to Trump, Cramer said Friday on “Squawk Box,” shortly after the jobs report was released, “It doesn’t matter whether you hate him or like him, these are real numbers.”

“This is the best number I’ve ever seen in my life,” Cramer said, zeroing in on the unemployment rate. “Fifty years ago, that number was a curse. Now it’s a blessing.” He added, “I don’t see inflation. I don’t see recession.”

Just another forum pressing the elite's disdain over the tariffs that are wrecking the profits they were reaping in from their cheap labor arrangements with China.

President Trump upset their status quo and they want to go back to the way it was and to hell with American jobs, American security, and American prosperity.

These cretins don't care at all about what is good for the country in the near or long term.

“Fortune” mag rag is a fake. It poses as a financial magazine, but actually promotes a leftist agenda.

So 3 years of Peace and prosperity for all Americans sure does suck. Employment at the highest levels. Wages at the highest levels. Stock market at the highest levels. Military losses at the lowest levels. What a nightmare. One thing we can’t stand is peace and prosperity.

Geoff Colvin is another elite left loser in America.

If you’ve been on social media lately, or turned on your TV, you may have noticed a lot of dumb ideas floating around.

Colvin is so full of Trump Hatred, he is incapable of any positive thoughts.

Basically says business confidence is down because Trump was serious about restricting immigration and ending our abusive trade relationships with other countries.

Most of the C-Suite guys think they are citizens of the world and resent the fact that in a republic like the USA they are no longer able to treat its citizens like Third World workers, who, like toilet paper, are to be used once and thrown away.

Maybe Trump isn’t as good for Crony Crapitalists and as the previous Cronies in Chief were, but he has obviously been good for business in general.

Instead of using the Dow Jones and inflation/unemployment numbers or earnings reports, the article cites CEO confidence? Which CEOs? United Technologies? GM? Monsanto-Bayer? These and most others are transnationals who are deadset against countries acting in their own interest.
