    Which posters are you referring to?

     

    A lot of mistakes were made in the early stages of COVID. A lot of 'best guess' guidelines and mandates as well, would be insane to expect otherwise considering the incompetency of our leadership combined with the fact that virtually nobody living had ever had any experience with this type of thing and also combined with the fact that it was a novel virus we needed to figure out on the fly.

    They're not really mistakes if we're still learning, are they. 90% of what people get up in arms about is Faici supposedly switching gears on masks. Which comes from comments made prior to us knowing COVID was already in the US if I'm not mistaken, and was also done because we would have run out of masks almost immediately.

     

    The other big one is morons saying that the mask isn't totally effective. Well no s#!t, neither are condoms but if you don't want a rug rat it's better than raw dogging it, and more fun than abstinence. If you want more protection then upgrade to hormonal BC or get snipped.

    Fair enough. So from here out I will try to keep an open mind and pay attention to full time, actual creation of new jobs.

     

    Actually, natural population growth has virtually flatlined. And, at the current rate of adding $1 trillion in debt every quarter, I will disagree. Stop the spending. 

     

     

    The government doesn't only support citizen born here though, does it? And debt is far from a one-to-one ratio with government jobs, isn't it?

    So, if you were aware that jobs created are not the same as jobs recovered, up to 2023 sometime, then you agree that this administration has not created 13-15 million jobs. See we agree.

     

    I believe we need to shrink the Fed government, not grow it. So here we disagree.

     

    I do realize this likely happens under every Administration, which proves my point there are currently no good choices. If it was from Trump, and is was fuzzy math, I would have called it out because I am anti Trump, but don't recall specifically, so we'll call that a draw.

    I agree that until they met the numbers ore COVID they didn't really deserve credit. Now they do.

     

    If the US population grows the government also must grow, would it not?

    First and foremost is the repeated lie that there have been 13 million jobs created. It's would be realistic if they used the term recovered. Check out March 1st 2020 employment numbers compared to March 1st 2024. They are virtually identical.

     

    Every single jobs report for over a year has been revised downwards...by ad many as 100k in June of 2023.

     

    The March press release touts 303k. But forget to note that full time jobs were actually down 6000. 71k were gubmint jobs, and 49k were seasonal construction jobs returning after winter.

     

    But you will never see Biden's team alluding to the truth.

    We regained what was lost from COVID sometime in 2022 or 2023 if I remember correctly, so not sure what you're talking about. Also, I was one of the most vocal in saying that until that point it wasn't truly job creation. I was constantly criticizing a poster here who kept posting those "creation" tweets.

     

    There's nothing wrong with government jobs, and they should actually be a sign of a healthy economy as well. Seasonal jobs are typically adjusted for in the numbers that are reported.

     

    You realize this happens under every administration, right? The jobs report from the previous quarter is almost always adjust in the next quarter. Don't really remember you criticizing much when Trump himself was tweet even fuzzier math... But all that began the question, what's the point of that specific tweet you decided to post?

    If I make a mistake I say so. If Biden's handlers make a mistake, or are wilfully disingenuous, they double down, and it gets repeated by the masses. 

     

    I have never seen a retraction or admission from the WH staff when this jobs nonsense proves false. Have you?

    What do they have to retract regarding the latest jobs report?

    Any direct intervention from France or other NATO members as mentioned above would make this a broader conflict. European boys can die plenty for their beliefs. 

    Russia chooses how this conflict will go. Like it or not we're pretty deeply intertwined with Europe, and always will be. It's not about beliefs, it's about trying to protect freedom. Something we used to believe in.

     

    That said, Macron is an idiot.

    Before they start a war which involves all of NATO..then yes. 

    The dissolution of key alliance in Europe has always leads to great things.

    I'd like to point out that opposition to Israel's prosecution of Gaza has quickly moved from the Wacky Left to the mainstream position, with a lot of people brushing up on their Mideast history.  

    Everyone is still an a$$h@!e over there. Hamas sucks, the IDF sucks, and normal people are caught in the middle of the war machines.

    And I agree with Jeff. 

    Sounds more like he's talking about the people who murdered the woman at first, but then he does kind of generalize it at the end when he goes on his boomer dementia rant.

    So you are afraid of explaining why Trans Visibility conflicts with Easter in public. 

     

    Boy, if that doesn't tell the story.

    Israel had near universal sympathy after the 10/7 attack.

     

    They're doing everything they can to erase that.

     

    Three British civilians were among the seven aid workers killed in last night's attack, World Central Kitchen has confirmed.

     

    1. Seven people working for food aid charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza
    2. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu says the convoy they were in was hit unintentionally
    3. "It happens in war... and we will do everything so that this thing does not happen again," he says
    4. Three British nationals were among those killed, along with Australian, Polish, Palestinian workers and a dual US-Canadian citizen
    5. Australia's PM has said he expects "full accountability" after Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom was listed among the dead
    6. A Palestinian medical source told the BBC the workers had been wearing bullet-proof vests bearing the charity's logo
    7. The CEO of World Central Kitchen says it was an "unforgiveable attack" - the organisation is pausing its operations

    Looks like we've taught them well

     Why do you post Tweets without looking any of it up and/or sharing what you found?

     

    It took me about 2 minutes to find the first thing is just made up bulls#!t. You can see in the graph the household # is higher. (And it’s supposed to be higher because it includes farm related jobs, while the other doesn’t).

    Because they don't want to actually think. Just get the feels.

    I dunno man...but it's hilarious they dog Jenner, on Trans Visibility Day, cuz Caitlin is conservative. Those same folks were spewing vitriol in the Easter vs Visibility day...lol

    Or maybe it's that Jenner has a history of being a pull the ladder up after themselves kind of person, a complete hypocrite, and they literally killed somebody.

    I totally get what you are saying but could that just be your area?  Like, maybe other areas are lower?  I have no idea.  I know Omaha is brutal.  If I was looking to buy a house right now in Omaha I would rather just join a Pro-Pally group instead.

    It was in a nice area where you get the most bang for your buck around here. The Detroit metro is crazy. It spans the whole gambit of good value (or cheap as hell in the hood) to outrageous. It's just that the good value means you're in the boonies with a long commute to work and nothing fun to do nearby.

  15. There's no way prices are down 20%. Maybe 5%, but I'm still seeing real s#!t holes selling for absurd amounts. Walked into an open house that was literally the worst we've seen so far. Everything was trashed: appliances, kitchen cabinets cracked/chipped/pealing loors, walls, window sills rotted and pealing, outside doors were gaping to the frame, epoxy garage floor was a mess... And the place was only 8 years old. They wanted like 7% less than what market would be for that house in decent shape. You basically need to take that whole place down to the dry wall and subfloor, and even then probably the studs in some spots, but it's pending an offer which I'm positive will be close to asking.
