Economy Stalls Out and Crashes During Shutdown, Adding a Mere 304,000 Jobs in Month

Womp womp. The NeverTrumpers and liberals (but I repeat myself) were hoping for a bad January jobs report.

Isn't that strange that super-conservative, super-patriotic NeverTrumpers are always hoping for what's worse for America, just to win their insipid Twitter arguments?

Oh well. Womp womp. Eat a dick, traitors. Learn to code -- you won't be grifting in your current roles for much longer.

The economy added 304,000 jobs in January, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics -- far more than the 165,000 that economists had predicted.

The surge in hiring comes despite the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, mounting concern about a global economic slowdown, and a lack of key economic data being generated while some government agencies were not fully operational.

The nation's unemployment rate ticked upward to 4 percent and wage growth held steady at 3.2 percent.

The shutdown appears to have had little impact on job growth, partly because President Donald Trump approved back pay for furloughed government workers, which means the 800,000 employees who worked without pay were still included in the jobs count.

2 Justice Ginsburg is not in the office today, again.

She has been asked by detectives in the Chicago Police Department to assist in solving the Jussie Smollett case.

It's not unusual for Justice Ginsburg to be engaged by police as a consulting detective on especially baffling and difficult cases.

Her peerless powers of observation and analysis and her personal familiarity with life among the demimonde place her in great demand as a master detective.

Justice Ginsburg will often employ disguises -- for example, as a homeless syphilitic drug-addicted homosexual male prostitute -- in order to learn of tips on the street that might crack a cold case.

Her plan in this case is to catch white redneck Trump supporters in the act of attacking inner city blacks by herself posing as a gay black man in the 'hood' seeking sexual street encounters in the so-called 'rough trade.'

Justice Ginsburg has therefore gone undercover on the mean streets of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods in blackface and wearing a MAGA hat in order to develop leads on the attackers of Mr. Smollet.

She said she is bringing case files with her to her cardboard box under an overpass and from time to time will pass her rulings to a clerk in a manner as if they are transacting a drug deal.

There was something very interesting in the holiday sales records this year. They were reported as only increasing something like 5% over the previous year. Healthy. But when I looked at the previous years numbers they had in actuality increased by over twenty percent.

Twenty percent would explain a lot of new hiring in January. Five percent not so much.

I would love to see how our labor force participation rate is trending.

Because it almost sounds like all of those people that O's defenders told us for years were permanently out of the work force are rejoining the work force, which is kind of exactly what we said would happen if job creation took off...

hmm...

But that can't be. The economists all said it was impossible.

On the flip side, they also said we'd only create 165,000 jobs this month, and they turned out to be, well, slightly off.

They were buying favor with China by giving them preferential trade deals that, in essence, exported american jobs and wealth from the US to China.

You know, to export american-style capitalism and end the communist party and bring China in to the world economy and all of the big lofty things that they said would happen, which did not.

This is another one of those neocon / NeverTrumper lies that we all bought at the time.

That these "free trade deals" make "everyone richer."

Which, well, they don't. There is a huge trade imbalance between the US and China. Not because that's a "free market" thing, but because China has ludicrously high barriers to entry for foreign businesses.

These Keynesian macroeconomic theories only kind of work if we assume a level playing field and similar / identical laws, regulations, etc.

Which is a stupid assumption.

The way they respond to this is so dishonest it almost makes me want to punch someone.

See, many in the government have advanced degrees. Why? No reason.

But you get paid more and get on fast tracks to better jobs if you get an online degree in masters in public policy or whatnot, and the fedgov pays tuition. So a lot of FedGov employees do that (probably while theyre at work.)

So the fedgov employees say, "yeah, but a person with a masters degree makes more money then someone with an associates degree in the private sector, so we should get paid more!"

and the response is "yeah because no one in the private sector is going to pay you more because you have a masters in public policy. You dont' need a useless masters degree to be a low level paper pusher in the private sector, you dolt."

Is it the same Kilgore from LGF? I've been trying for a year to get some kind of verification that yes, he was the same cuck that posted racist comments about Obama at 3am on Hot Air to 'prove' that the right was racist or something.

If so, Allah is some sort of never before seen cuck. A cuck who cucks for other cucks. Cuckception.

191 Justice Ginsburg is not in the office today, again.

She has been asked by detectives in the Chicago Police Department to assist in solving the Jussie Smollett case.

It's not unusual for Justice Ginsburg to be engaged by police as a consulting detective on especially baffling and difficult cases.

Her peerless powers of observation and analysis and her personal familiarity with life among the demimonde place her in great demand as a master detective.

Justice Ginsburg will often employ disguises -- for example, as a homeless syphilitic drug-addicted homosexual male prostitute -- in order to learn of tips on the street that might crack a cold case.

Her plan in this case is to catch white redneck Trump supporters in the act of attacking inner city blacks by herself posing as a gay black man in the 'hood' seeking sexual street encounters in the so-called 'rough trade.'

Justice Ginsburg has therefore gone undercover on the mean streets of Chicago's toughest neighborhoods in blackface and wearing a MAGA hat in order to develop leads on the attackers of Mr. Smollet.

She said she is bringing case files with her to her cardboard box under an overpass and from time to time will pass her rulings to a clerk in a manner as if they are transacting a drug deal.

Posted by: Harry Paratestes at February 01, 2019 12:13 PM (GBteo)
+++++++++++++
They *should.* They should cause realignment and transitional unemployment, but not structural unemployment. So what the hell happened? I think there were three really big factors:

1) Free trade was unidirectional - we'll take anything, they'll take some things. The globalists insisted that this didn't matter. It did.
2) Currency manipulation allowed massive trade deficits to extend for longer than they would be able to in a free market. Synthetically cheap or expensive currencies. That we have the reserve currency is a double-edged sword in this respect.
3) Government spending. This helped drive point 2. When you have too much foreign currency (more needed for trading), it needs to be repatriated. This is done through asset purchases. When the government is all too happy to sell you treasuries, this becomes nearly frictionless and permits massive, sustained current account deficits *and* massive fiscal deficits simultaneously and for long periods of time - something that was never accounted for in the original trade models. It destroys your government fiscally (100% of GDP debt, for example), but it can be maintained for a very long time.

The free-traders weren't exactly wrong - it *should* have worked like they said it would. But everyone except the US cheated outrageously (and we cheated in some areas, too, especially agriculture), currencies never really floated with many of our East Asian trading partners, and the government filled in the hole in the trade deficit with fiscal deficits.

They weren't wrong about the mechanisms, they were wrong in the related assumptions. But they were not willing to admit that they were wrong, and kept doing it in pursuit of The Globalist Dream (tm), at the expense of Western workers.

I used to be one of them. It took me years to finally accept that I was wrong not because the math didn't work but because the people didn't. Globalism will work only if all prerequisites are met, and they never will be. I see it as sort of like Socialism in that regard - it doesn't match reality.

The theory is that companies had to wait a little longer for their government permits and approvals from the various agencies who micromanage everyones lives, so that hurt the economy.

Which... I mean, marginally at best.

Like, okay, theoretically -- you're patent took 2 years and 6 months to approve instead of 2 years and 4 months.

There might be some kind of economic cost there, but I don't know how you get an honest number to reflect that cost.

Sure.

Well, again, the math only works if we hold a very variables constant:
1) regulatory and tax environments -- we have to assume both Country A and Country B are similar in this respect.
2) Monetary policy -- again, need to be similar.
3) Actual, you know, free trade -- it can't be a one way street. Our "free trade deals" are thousands of pages long -- it's all negotiated. "If you buy our soybeans with tariffs, we will not put tariffs on your steel" (or whatever.) This isn't free trade, which doesn't require any agreement. Free trade is just a policy of keeping tariffs and barriers of entry low.
4) NO GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES. (We do it, too. But this distorts the market in a major way.)

...and there are probably a lot of other variables that don't immediately come to mind.

Like it works in theory, on paper, but in the real world, there are just too many ways to "cheat" a "free trade agreement" so that it is more beneficial to one party.

This is a biggun, and I left it out. It is a major structural disparity. Free trade theory assumes transitory disparities, but these ones tend to be sticky. If both partners have something approaching labor and environmental parity (those are the big ones, taxes are less so but still a significant factor). This is why essentially free trade between us and Canada works reasonably well and does benefit both sides in general - we're essentially the same country where it counts economically.

On the environmental front, this is something leftists do *not* understand - NIMBYism is endemic in their environmental thought process. Their iPhone manufacturing causes loads of pollution. In China. But since it isn't here, it doesn't exist. Their electric cars cause plenty of emissions. At the power plant. But since it isn't at the tailpipe, it doesn't exist.

Kudos. Applause.

The thing was, our competitors/adversaries, etc never had any intention of "playing fair" regarding trade.

This is, in part, what our intelligence agencies are supposed to find out, and brief the Executive.

Perhaps they did, and were ignored. I suspect that in part. There are some investment people that made a lot of money on the chimera of "free trade". They were doughty capitalists! But were, in the end, selling America "short", betting on the decline. Much handwringing all around, but in the end, that's what they did.

As a footnote to history, Joe Kennedy Sr. pretty much "made" the family fortune by buying and selling "short" during the Great Depression. Betting against America was shrewd, but hardly what I would call admirable and honorable under the circumstances. But....he was the Founding Father of the Kennedy wealth.
So it's all good, and it has all happened before. I'm sure there are a number of very wealthy "patriots" who have profited from the alleged "free trade" regime who now loathe Trump. And that's where the Quisling Cucks get a lot of their money. Investment in returning to "the decline".
Great Americans!!!

Posted by: simplemind at February 01, 2019 12:30 PM (4eSrB)


Bezos is the worst kind of political animal, he pulls the strings and writes checks behind the scenes.


The city limits of central Seattle have been radically changed over the last decade with the Amazon explosion. Just getting around, without walking or riding a frigging LymeBike on the bike lane that was a car lane for the century before, is dysfunctional.

Population has increased inside the city by 30% since Bezos exploded, yet these "leaders" eliminated half of the car lanes in the busiest Avenues through the city.

The result is complete breakdown of traffic flow in the city, nearly every afternoon.

Bezos had the leaders of Seattle wrapped around his finger. Throw massive piles of money at the petty Socialists that now run Seattle, and they will happily suck you and lick you wherever and whenever you want. All the time destroying the functionality of the city you were elected to protect.


Bezos has the cleanest genitals on the planet.

San Jose is technically in NorCal, but that doesn't make much of a difference.

443 "however commies have different plans for the progs that academia seems to never anticipate... every time."Posted by: InoCuck Blew the Thred

right ... in a Bannon interview with Bass ... (or maybe another, I forget) ... they mention that. The US "zeitgeist" (or whatever) is more about individual liberty. China is more about The State, all for the state, nothing against the state. (maybe individuals don't think that way, but they are forced to comply).


So it is always economic war for them. But imo the easy money (voodoo economics) and deficit spending was never merited, never good theory. Greenspan warned in 1994 (?) about irrational exuberance ... but Easy Al always gave in to greasing the skids for Wall Street gamblers.

The "Greenspan Put" was underwritten by America itself, as we went deep in debt and they became billionaires. TARP and $4R QE and ZIRP propped up globalists, the homeowners took it on the chin, so did savers. Now everyone is talking "reset" or "debt jubilee" ... idk, but the globalists have trillions to buy up DC and get their way.
