For First Time Since Covid Shutdowns, Weekly Jobless Claims Fall Below One Million
Light at the end of the tunnel?
First-time claims for unemployment insurance last week fell below 1 million for the first time since March 21 in a sign that the labor market is continuing its recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. The total claims of 963,000 for the week ended Aug. 8 were well below the estimate of 1.1 million from economists surveyed by Dow Jones. That represented a decline of 228,000 from the previous week’s total. Jobless claims had totaled above 1 million for 20 consecutive weeks as the U.S. economy went into lockdown to contain Covid-19. The last time the total was below that number was March 14, with 282,000, just as the pandemic declaration first hit.Below, Pence notes that the Trump/Pence administration posted more new jobs the last three months than in all of Obama/Biden's eight years in office.
We’ve created more jobs in the last 3 months than Joe Biden and Barack Obama created in their 8 years in office. pic.twitter.com/kwk5YhL3TJ

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday
threw out California's ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines, saying
the law violates the U.S. Constitution's protection of the right to
bear firearms.
"Even well-intentioned laws must pass constitutional muster," appellate Judge Kenneth Lee wrote for the panel's majority.
Posted by: SMOD at August 14, 2020 04:31 PM (X5CsJ)
Expect
an en banc rehearing, which may make this short-lived. But for the time
being, they applied strict scrutiny to CA's infringement, which is a
welcome change from other circuits, and may become a circuit split to
make SCOTUS finally determine that the 2A is not so different as other
fundamental liberties that require strict scrutiny to pass
constitutional muster.
It is a victory. But it may be a temporary victory of a battle in the long war.

We were mountain biking and to not have to climb about 1500 feet we decided to go through a train tunnel that went through the mountain. There was just enough room for a train. So I'm peddling as fast as I can and I look up and see a light. I yell "I see light at the end of the tunnel." thinking I was oh so clever. The guy who knew the trail says "Nope. That is just the light in the middle."

- The U.S. economy will expand at a much faster rate in the current
quarter than previously expected, but the outlook looks weaker for
growth and job creation in the fourth quarter and beyond, according to a
Philadelphia Federal Reserve survey released on Friday.
The
Philly Fed's quarterly Survey of Professional Forecasters predicted
growth in the current third quarter will come in at a 19.1% annualized
rate, nearly double the previous forecast for a 10.6% expansion from
July through September.

The entire absurd Covid-19 panic is simply a mechanism to induce a recession and reverse Trump historical economic gains. Period. The Dems know from long analysis that incumbents win when the economy is good, basically 100% of the time. Their ONLY chance to defeat Trump is to ruin the economy, and fast.
SO they did that but the whole "shutdown" thing spiraled out of control and now they can't stop it -- even though MOST of the people enduring the worst effect from the shutdown are in the Dem voter constituency (urban dwellers, minorities, etc.).
Ho matter. THe Dems CAN'T let the economy bounce back before November, or they know they are doomed electorally.
So watch them over the next four months go MAX DESTRUCTION on the American economy, regardless of who suffers. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good! THe ends justify the means!

Under Trump, the Economy was actually fine, the problem was the "Pandemic". So, +1 for Trump Economy and +1 for the Bounceback.

Our side needs to do this more.
When Democrats say, "Well, the comparison isn't apt because the situations aren't the same..." they're slowing things down and trying to explain.
Explaining is dying in politics. Lead with the punch and move on to the next.

I haven't yet seen a single Trump sign or sticker here is Liberal Central -- but on the other hand, I've only ever seen one Biden sign either. ONE. Just one, ever.
This neighborhood is lousy with Bernie signs and BLM signs. But Biden? Zilch.
There is ZERO enthusiasm for him among the liberal base.
All I can hope is that this lack of enthusiasm will suppress the Dem vote totals in Swing States.

CLI (COVID-Like Illnesses) are a much better (and more relevant) thermometer for trends. This is a count given to feds by hospitals that has no lag (same day), has a fairly reasonable and uniform definition (some states are lumping in PCR tests with serological tests, which is unbelievable), and is very concretely related to all that matters, acute cases and deaths.

It depends on the boss. For me it's not a matter of envy, but how you behave about your wealth. I used to work as a lumberjack, and my main clients were two guys who were going in on a real estate venture, both rich AF. The one guy was the nicest guy you could know. He'd give you the shirt off his back. Just a stand up dude, and you'd NEVER know he was loaded unless you were in business with him.
The other guy was a raging dickhole. He handled our paychecks. We would go to his palatial estate to pick them up, and he wouldn't let us set foot on the property. He'd make us wait outside the gate while he drove down, and he behaved like the act of handing slips of paper to the poors was going to give him leprosy.

O-care and other things are a catastrophe for millions, but that's a secret to almost everyone, and of course the GOP and Trump can skate on doing much/anything about it because most people - who aren't affected - don't care.
But the school re-opening is dramatically different. And my gawd, the teacher's unions have vastly exceeded my expectations in terms of insane, unreasonable, hysterical reactions and demands.
But .... I'm not seeing much, yet. Sadly one cannot rule out that America today is an inscrutable mystery - will handily re-elect Trump, but at the same time not lift a finger to relieve the damage being caused by incumbents, the Dems, and many GOP in levels below the presidency.

Two separate things that have always been tracked separately. Weekly UR claims are raw numbers. Monthly UE rate is a % if people not working and looking for work out of the total adult labor force. The two are related but not really the same. You can be unemployed and not collectingb benefits and you can be out of work and not be counted as unemployed for a variety of reasons. And there are also about 6 separate unemployment rates the the govt publishes.

Bad policies kill jobs while good policies allow businesses to grow.
Pence is rightly noting that this administration took the regulatory boot off of the economy's neck.
If progs knew what any of those funny-looking number thingys were, they might be able to figure out that they should have policies that promote a booming economy with growing standards of living for everyone (without inflation) because that means more tax income for them to finance the giant programs they always propose.
But nooooo...

Everything the Dems and their shills in the media do belies that the polls are accurate - no one that is cruising to a 15% point win does anything like what they are doing...at best, you might acknowledge the other sides issues, but you wouldn't want your side to loot, burn, terrorize citizens, promote weird disturbing energy policies or select someone for VP who never even got a single delegate in any national primary.
Everything they are doing, the shrill shouting, the absurd behaviors - points to losing by huge margins and they know it.

This is why Obama had "good" unemployment numbers - people just quit the labor market so presto! Lower unemployment.
He managed to depress work force participation to Carter Administration levels, but the bottom line percentage looked great.

And they always change according to the goals of the administration. Bronco Bama very conveniently changed all of them to exclude two of the things most families spend the most on: food and energy. That made his number look great to LIVs.
Meanwhile, I watched grocery prices down here double inside of 5 years yet the official inflation rate was never over 1%. Lies, damned lies and statistics, in ascending order of bullshit.

Yep. Which is why the UE rate is kind of a dumb thing to use as a measure of the economy. What matters is the labor participation rate.

I think you mean inflation not unemployment. And there is core CPI with and without food/energy. Obama didnt change that. The media just started reporting on one and not the other whichever made Obama look better.

"A suspended Kentucky judge accused of turning her chambers into a glorified frat house and having a threesome with staffers was only pulling a prank, her secretary testified in court this week, according to a report.

"During earlier testimony, courthouse custodians, deputy clerks and other staffers described alcohol containers found in Gentry's chambers, singing and guitar playing, as well as moaning and grunting sounds."

The OSP also noted that they said they would be there to help out for two weeks and that those two weeks were over. The City will have to sort this out themselves.
