If only the media would give as much attention to job creation as inflation

More Americans lost jobs under Trump-Pence than any one term president. More Americans are working under Biden-Harris than any time in US history. Women’s unemployment has fallen from a peak of 16.1% in April 2020 to 3.5%, slightly lower than the unemployment rate for men. https://t.co/YADZ6XjoOh

The Biden Boom Continues

Even more of the Biden Boom

We’ve gone from absolutely massive unemployment claims numbers to the lowest levels since 1969, in less than a year. And it was no accident: a real vaccination effort + the American Rescue Plan gave us a recovery that no other country in the world has seen. pic.twitter.com/gNkndrzaxC

The jobs party

OK, kicking off our monthly thread which shows how much better Dems have been for US economy over past 3 decades. 2 stats:

95% of all jobs created since 1989 have come under Dem Presidents

3 times as many jobs have been created under Biden than last 3 GOP Presidents, combined

So much losing for Trump

Donald Trump owns every one of the Top Forty Worst Weeks for job losses in the last 50 years.

Biden owns the best. https://t.co/2D98w7wsqd

Just one more media failure

Democrats:
— $1.2 trillion infrastructure package
— 200 million vaccinations
— 5 million jobs
— unemployment down to 4.6%
— wages up $2 an hour
— Dow at all-time high

Republicans:
— came up with a thing to call Joe Biden

What's the matter here?

So far, Democrats have cut child poverty in half, added 5.3 million jobs, managed the most ambitious vaccine rollout in the nation’s history, and passed a $1.2 trillion investment in the water, roads, bridges and broadband.

Trump gave $2 trillion to the rich and tweeted a lot.

Once again it's Democrats who fix the economy

Feb. 2021: Nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects we will get to 4.6% unemployment by the end of 2023

Mar. 2021: Democrats pass the American Rescue Plan

Oct. 2021: Economy reaches 4.6% unemployment two years ahead of schedule

Fuck you, Fox Business

Watching Fox Business and Maria Bartiromo forced to report jobs numbers so good it’s impossible to spin them negatively is a wonderful, satisfying experience. A little zen for the weekend. pic.twitter.com/Z1fulr3fbf

What the fucking fuck?

Dow is over 36,000, unemployment has dropped from 6.3 in Jan. to 4.8. Over 5 million jobs added, a record. 220m vaccines in 10 months. And only 30% of country think US is on right track. The Democratic Party has a huge messaging problem.

Oh, here's a surprise--corporations are still fucking us over

the “worker shortage” is corporate PR spin for a capital strike. They’re holding off on hiring in an attempt to force workers to take lower wages. They even try to enlist customers on their side with those bullshit “sorry we’re slow, no one wants to work right now!” signs. https://t.co/kkKcWcxxdB

You're terminated, fucker!

A few things to keep in mind when you watch this video:

• This is not a novel by Ray Bradbury or Isaac Asimov.  It is not Nostradamus predicting the future.  It is happening now.  This technology exists.  It is not going away.
• Humans have brains and brawn.  Machines have replaced a good bit of the physical labor we need done.  Robots are replacing our brains.  We have nothing left to add to the labor market.
• 45%!  Projections are that robots will eventually be able to do forty-five percent of the jobs that currently employ Americans (keep in mind that the unemployment rate in America during the Great Depression topped out at 25%).  From some kinds of lawyers and doctors\to virtually every job that involves driving, gone.  Now read point #2 again.
• David Atkins is right--the political party that figures out how to prepare Americans for, and provide for them afterward, is the political party that will rule America   Regardless of the appetite the American people may have for it, a guaranteed income provided by the U.S. government is bound to play a large role.

I've seen projections that believe this technology will be in place in 20 years.

You know, Rosie, the Jetson's maid, is an endearing character right up until you can't feed your family--after that, not so much.

Brotherhood, from sea to shining sea

The city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida is preparing to pass legislation that would prohibit the homeless from having their possessions on public property, for aesthetic reasons.  It is backed by business groups (surprise, surprise) who probably should worry a lot more about their sales and a lot less about a fucking stray backpack.

The state of Louisiana is on the verge of passing legislation that would make panhandling a misdemeanor punishable by a $200 fine and up to six months in jail.  How exactly a homeless person holding a hat out for some spare change is supposed to come up with $200 probably wasn't considered.

You know what?  Good jobs.  A living wage.  These are the solutions to the above.  Taking away what few possessions they have or turning them into criminals is not going to help anyone in poverty--it is just pushing their suffering out of sight.

Which, pathetically, is probably the point.

Celebrating nothing

What a surprise--another day, another puff piece on Gov. Snyder's failed efforts to turn the state around in the Free Press.

Seems the state has an extra $130 million to put in its rainy day fund.  And this does exactly fucking what to create jobs or improve our standard of living?

I could mention how Tom Walsh's op-ed touts Snyder's first initiative with the extra money--falling upon an old republican standard--by telling us how bad crime is in Michigan (ooh, scary) so it will be spent on extra police, etc.  I could mention how the Governor plans to up education spending by 2-3%, which is a bit like trying to douse a wildfire with a squirt gun.

But what I'd like to concentrate on is this statement from John Nixon, the Governor's budget director:

"The notice we're getting nationally," Nixon said, "for having a balanced budget, for adding to the rainy day fund, maybe (emphasis mine) that makes more businesses and entrepreneurs want to move to Michigan."

Maybe?  You have absolutely got to be fucking kidding me.  For all the shit the working class has eaten because of Governor Numb Nuts, "maybe" is the best they can do?  I don't recall "maybe" being in their vocabulary last year when they were shoving their agenda of taxing old folks so corporations could get a tax break down our throats.  Or attacking teacher's unions.  Or gutting unemployment benefits.

It's good to know the republican party has become as big of a joke in Michigan as it has nationwide.
