WASHINGTON (AP) - America’s employers added just 266,000 jobs last month, sharply lower than in March and a sign that some businesses are struggling to find enough workers as the economic recovery strengthens.

If the economy does great and people stay optimistic (in polls) and approving of the Dems (in polls) then America is finished.

They will conclude government socialist partnership with corporations, increased regulations, high taxes, payments to illegals and all on welfare to not work, restrictions on freedom for climate change and wokeism, cancel culture, plus total surveillance by the FBI and even the Post Office of our social media and emails ————all add up to FDR’s Happy Days Are Here Again but now on steroids.

Let’s hope it sinks before America sinks.

In the rural burg I live near there are several "help wanted" signs.

One of my neighbors has a fully capable of holding a job twenty sevenish year
old son that's on social security, never worked a day in his life. He's set for life.

Only one of thousands such leeches of the American taxpayers.

If you wear two masks at home when you are alone, regular channels will turn into HD. That way you save on your cable bill.
