  • The U.S. unexpectedly loses 92,000 jobs, adding to worries about the economy

  • The TL;DR version is that the unemployment numbers that tend to get reported are U-3, whereas many people think the U-6 numbers are a more accurate reflection of the real experience.

    The U-3 unemployment rate is the most commonly reported rate in the United States, representing the number of unemployed people actively seeking a job. Meanwhile, the U-6 rate covers discouraged, underemployed, and unemployed workers in the country.

  • Shrug, you can laugh I guess? Even if it's quite en vogue at the moment to lay all the problems at the feet of one generation, I think it's incredibly simplistic and naive to do so. Especially when we can see an incredible rise in younger men embracing the tenets of fascism right now, and they are nowhere near the age of boomers.

    This is the boomers we are talking about, and they contain multitudes. They fought for gay rights, they fought for civil rights, they fought for women's rights. Prior to the boomers, women could not even have a bank account without a man in their life signing off on it.

  • This. "JD" "Vance" is a spring chicken as far as age goes - he's probably one standard deviation younger than the average, LOL.

    But I'd take a Bernie Sanders who is old AF over a "JD".

  • Nope, sorry, absolutely not buying into this narrative.

    At all.

    The "term limits now!" has been around forever and I think would solve absolutely nothing. It's a terrible idea - trying to apply a simplistic solution to systemic problems, but tends to never die. I group that in the same place as Tort reform when it comes to zombie solutions that refuse to never go away.

    And I think the inter-generational warfare thing that's being stoked (probably orchestrated) is even worse than that. The notion that people that went around the sun a certain amount of times cannot relate to the average person is one of the dumbest ideas going, in my view. It is complete nonsense.

  • no generation will be able to do more damage to the earth than the Boomer generation

    I highly doubt that. It seems younger generations have learned neither the lessons of vaccination nor the lessons of fascism from WWII.

    If that Fourth Turning thing turns out to be right - and Zeus help us if it does, the boomer generation will be viewed as a Renaissance era (and a lot of what they worked for was - all kinds of awakening happened thanks to them, regardless of the current en vogue narratives).

  • Exactly. I lived through the Iran/Contra affair, and I don't remember most of the players in a scandal that was way worse than Watergate.

  • Age and term limits for all positions in government.

    Absolutely not. The problem here is not Schumer's age or how long he's been in office.

  • Honestly, they should propose sending ICE to raid and kidnap and terrorize.....at Noem's house(s).

    I mean, that was their "logic" on sending in ICE to terrorize an entire city, after all.

  • She lied under oath multiple times, did she not?

    I seem to recall so many cons wanting to stand on principle so hard when it came to Clinton - checks notes - lying about a BJ.

  • Earlier last year, I watched all those assholes constantly repeat that phrase last year, especially Karoline Leavitt, that dweeb Mikey Johnson and that guy that looks like a squirrel with a shit-eating grin perma-planted on its face - Kevin Hassett - "waste, fraud and abuse", followed by an even bigger smile.

    And it was quite obvious back then that they were quite full of shit and gleefully gaslighting the shit out of the reality-based community and loving every minute of their little games. Probably the most predictable thing ever.

  • Polis - supposedly a Democratic governor in a blue state - is thinking about releasing Tina Peters, which some outlets have taken to calling an "election denier", instead of someone that was trying to steal an election and who assaulted a police officer.
