President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

You were the one who posted about "what they do." You are talking from an insular world that doesn't seem to understand the reality millions of people are living.

And . ... Your "stats" don't show what you even think they do, a lot of the time. You are giving me the headlines / spin.

You have record numbers of people working multiple part time jobs (we have LOST full time jobs), according to the BLS (do you want me to quantify it from their own reports over the last 3 years?), which has gotten more dishonest than ever during this administration.

They put out a report on the first Friday of the month in which they "created" some made up number of jobs and you read the headline and rely on the "stats." Never mind that month after month they have revised their made up number dramatically down, because nobody reports the revision (just the next bullshit headline being fed).

Have you ever dug into any of the reports? Did you note how many of the "jobs" that were created last month were government jobs, while manufacturing continues to bleed jobs? Have you ever tried to reconcile how the household survey is showing something dismal month after month (the reality people are reporting about their employment situation), while the establishment survey they rely on says something different? Do you know that someone working 2 part time jobs, struggling to make ends meet counts as "2 new JOBS!" according to the "stats" as they are giving them to you?

 

The longer they take to get him out there for this news conference, isn't it getting farther away from his last nap?

 

Maybe it can be a good look if he comes out sharp as a tack after 8 pm.
