***Official Political Discussion Thread***

[Cashflow]

This thread is so subpar now because y'all are so held bent on having this stupid back and forth with someone who is intentionally being intellectually dishonest.

And ya'll are aware of this but still jump down the rabbit hole every single time.

Unemployment "falls" to 10.2%. Celebrate!!!!!!!!



And this is why Dwalk votes for Trump. So poor people in his community can beg him for money.



This guy is a ******* idiot and has no idea what he is doing

U.S. employers added 1.8 million jobs in July despite a coronavirus surge.

U.S. Added 1.8 Million Jobs in July (Published 2020)

Still, the increase reported Friday by the Labor Department was well below the 4.8 million jump in jobs in June and a sign that momentum is slowing after a burst of economic activity in late spring. The unemployment rate fell to 10.2 percent.

Although the gain of 1.8 million is heartening, it represents only a fraction of the 22 million jobs lost in March and April, when all but essential businesses closed.

 

[junglejim]

Yeah but when you lose 30 and add 1.8 it basically washes out, right?

Y'all are reading so much into an article written by the New York Times

No one said it was time to celebrate or that it equaled the jobs gains in June.

I just posted the jobs numbers.

Relax

the irony is outstanding.



it intentionally hides context, but if you close your eyes to everything else and only look at what he's saying, this is good news.

1 point drop in unemployment is usually astounding. but in our current situation it is disappointing evidence that hopes for a v-curve recovery are evaporating

of course the whole v-curve prediction has always overlooked the impact of this crash in finishing off sputtering industries/jobs all at once rather than drawing out the inevitable for years

Nah, I don't think dude is a troll. I just think that his political views haven't been sufficiently challenged.

Gotta be one of those “the lesser evil” picker

the party of limited government strips government service then tells us it doesn't work so we should get rid of it all together. "government doesn't work, elect us and we'll prove it to you!"

it's like selling us a car after they've taken off the wheels. well no **** it doesn't drive

"Socialism!!"
No
"...Communism!!!"
Nope
"Uhhhh.....MARXISM!!!!"
Nah
"Hmm....ANARCHY!!!!!"

$400 for 20 weeks/70% of wages should just be signed and wrap this **** up. 20 weeks is 5 months which means it would expire in February which makes almost an entire year from when most people lost their job

Some black person wrote that for him
Never heard a white persona use monolith
When referring to US
only other black folks use this term
In THAT way
