Unexpectedly, Yet Another Disaster of a Month as Far as Jobs Creation
Bloomberg Changes Headline, In Keeping With Brandon's Orders to Spin Bad Economic News In His Favor
The U.S. economy added just 199,000 jobs in December and the unemployment rate fell to 3.9 percent. Economists had forecast 422,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 4.1 percent, although this week's report on private payrolls from ADP indicating that the private sector added 807,000 jobs had created some anticipation that the official figure would be higher than the consensus forecast.Note that the low unemployment rate is driven by the fact that after the lockdowns -- and being paid not to work -- many people have simply exited the workforce and stopped working.
... In November, traditionally a big month for hiring, the economy added just 249,000 jobs.
From the 1970s through the turn of the century, there was an almost uninterrupted increase in the labor force participation as more women joined the workforce. During that period, it rose from a low of roughly 60% to an all-time high of 67.3% in the first quarter of 2000. From the early 2000s until the pandemic hit, the participation rate steadily declined and was about 63% at the end of 2019. It fell sharply in April 2020 as the U.S. began a period of lockdowns to try to contain the rapid spread of COVID-19, reaching a nearly 50-year low of 60.2% that month. Although the rate has recovered somewhat, it continues to flounder below 62% because of a combination of factors brought on or exacerbated by the pandemic, such as fear about returning to a physical workplace and pandemic-related benefits that made it more financially feasible to go without a job. While economists don't identify a specific participation rate as ideal, it's generally believed that a sudden, sizable reduction in the rate presents significant challenges to the smooth functioning of an economy. That's because it represents a rapid withdrawal of productive resources -- workers -- that can't be easily or quickly offset. This is one cause of the recent surge in inflation, not to mention the supply chain problems the global economy is currently experiencing. If the rate doesn't rise to pre-pandemic levels in the coming year or two, that would dash hopes for a stronger economic recovery and would signal high inflation and supply chain shortages will be with us for some time to come.A low unemployment rate because people are working is good. A low unemployment rate because people aren't working, and are being paid not to work, and so aren't filing for unemployment, is bad, and leads to things like inflation and shortages. Brandon says he doesn't mind paying people not to work, and that employers should just "compete" with the impossible-to-compete-with "job" of being paid not to work.

Update: Remember, Brandon and the media are having meetings on the reg to work out how to spin the bad economic news as good. Bloomberg got caught doing that, as Darrell Harris shows:

I'm assuming that in your scenario, you assume that those replacing these "broads" would be men by a classical definition. When in fact, today, most men are as effeminate as the women they'd be replacing.
Face it, old paradigms don't work today because they've been perverted beyond belief. Want proof? How many of these "men" are calling for and supporting vax and mask mandates? I would assume it's a great deal of them.

If you had a two income household, you might have figured out during the lockdowns that one income is plenty. Or if you were near retirement, why go through the hassle?

My wife stopped working, and I'll be honest the loss of income after taxes is negligible.
She made a good wage, but now we get a gigantic upgrade in child care (parent) and an additional dependant.

As bad as the economic effects, the social/cultural effects are worse. There is a huge correlation between not working and addiction, domestic violence, and so forth. Sadly, this likely is a feature and not a bug for the Ruling Class.

Won't stop them from trying. As far as they're concerned (Pelosi, Schumer, Soros et al) he's a resounding success. And I can see that. I can't imagine how they could come up with a more demoralizing person to prop up. The dementia is just the icing on the cake. It's one thing to be scolded by a lying, corrupt, evil narcissist (we had Obama), but to get one who's not just borderline retarded, but in a cognitive free-fall is a whole new dimension.
No, as long as they can get him to babble mostly on subject, they'll wheel him out to the microphone. Only once the sedatives are no longer working and he's lashing out at everybody he can see will they consider replacing him. And that replacement might be no public appearances, but heavily edited pre-recorded pressers passed off as current.
The wild card is what specifically is he suffering from? Some forms of dementia can go on for years and years. Alzheimer's on the other hand can be a very fast fall, as their brain is literally shriveling up. I've seen Alzheimer's run its course in 5-7 years. Dementia, 12-15.

I managed to find the unedited first Beavis & Butthead show, with the music videos a couple days ago. I watched it and it was kind of fun and nostalgic for a little while then it became increasingly disturbing and depressing.
When B&B first came out, part of its humor and charm was that it so accurately portrayed goofy middle school boys of a certain sort, plus it gave a chance to poke fun at some silly music videos.
But as I was watching I realized... we're living in B&B culture. The "takes" of people on things, most "memes", the general behavior of people is just like these two idiot kids. Its hard to explain unless you watch a show and remember.

Most productive members of society are an expert on something.
We have elevated "experts" to some grand unattainable level, while at the same time deriding the average working schlub who trust me has plenty of well worn knowledge to share about *some* subject.
And contrary to the system the Left wants to implement, expertise doesn't have to be peer reviewed. The most valuable of it comes from hands-on, mucked-in experience. I would much rather talk to a carpenter about how to build something than some overeducated know-nothing lifetime "student".

It's unlikely that we would get them. And I'll tell you why. Because they are discussing *POLICY*.
Congress sets long-term strategy/policy. The executive sets short-term policy within those strictures set by a representative legislature.

It was mentioned - in a manner that assholes would use. They mention the unemployment rate. The participation rate is implied in the unemployment rate. If fewer jobs are created and filled than expected, but more than the difference has dropped out of the labor market, then unemployment goes down.
They can hide behind that (and I suspect they do, because they'll claim to assume that people know how the unemployment rate works), but it doesn't make them even remotely honest.

Yup, those that have given up are called "discouraged workers" and NOT included in the U3 measurement of unemployment.
The real measurement, U6, includes "discouraged workers" as well as p.t. workers that are p.t. not by choice - that rate is over 7%.

Now, I dunno, Scotus may play for time as Omicron will wax and then wane in the next couple of months. Roberts will want to write the decision to make it as narrow as possible but he could also lose his majority in the process. Basically, I see three justices for individuality and rejecting the mandate, three for it, and the middle block, Kavanaugh, Roberts, and Barrett, trying to thread the needle opening.

I used to think we shouldn't pay tax dollars to the rich, but that was back when only truly destitute people used government programs, for short periods of time, and payments were generally at a level that barely let people get by. Now that the lazy have all quit working, and all the government programs let them get along quite well...yeah, screw it. Let the rich get some of their money back.

It's the fairness. I enjoy seeing people get what they vote for, good and hard, because it appeals to my sense of fairness and justice. The problem here is that the people of the US did not vote for this, and I find the unfairness and injustice...unpleasant. And looking back at my enjoyment of Venezuala's decline, I now understand that they probably didn't vote for it either, at least in the last few elections. Fkkin commies are talking all the fun out of schadenfreude.

Personally, I have lower expectations for our side's standard bearers, like Bongino. I do like that he's exhorting people to get involved, and he's putting money where his mouth is regarding setting up companies to fight Cancel Culture, like Rumble and AlignPay. He's certainly not perfect (he doesn't go after the second-tier GOPe like I would, for instance), but better than many in the field.
Evan Osnos put out a hit piece on him in The New Yorker this week. It's actually restrained compared to what he said to Terry Gross yesterday on NPR. He's definitely on the Left's radar screens now.

If you can defer this in those years before, it doesn't count.
Depending on your age, you have until 72 before you have to take RMDs.

It's how I'd do it if I were them. Outright loan forgiveness is a political hot-button and will piss off a lot of people, including people who might otherwise support them, while others in the base demand it.
Constantly extending the zero-cost deferment period accomplishes similar results while also keeping those covered by the extensions on the plantation forever by tying the constant re-up to the politicians themselves.

Well, yeah, look at what I said to open. Do I like it? Not by a long shot. Giving Pelousy more ammo? You bet.
I'd further argue Cruz doesn't know the difference between unitary and federal government, given the amount of time he spends on public schools on his FB page. Which is shocking for someone like him.
But people here are inclined to hate him regardless. Even if he remained mute on the subject of 1/6 people would still be finding reasons to hate him.

...
Of the staff reductions I saw at the firm I was at in 2020, 2 forced retirements, 1 converted to stay at home mom after WFH for 3 months. Firm of 65, so a 4.6% reduction in labor force in that example.
With apologies for the math, I think those two factors are very likely to explain the vast majority of the reduction.

In retrospect, all of it seems so trivial and silly now that it birthed a Tea Party movement.
With the exception of the auto bailouts, all of it was returned with interest.
Don't get me wrong, it was bad policy, but the whole program was probably what we spent a couple months in Iraq.

Good job, Ace. Consider asking Muldoon-or one of the very clever wordsmith's here to write some lyrics for them. That would make a good Gif too-Photoshopped Brandonettes with Biden singing.

Ace has been on fire for months, sometimes I admit taking it for granted.
The number of videos with "Brandonettes" is mind numbing, all supplied by the big guy (or the drunken dried apple doll). I mean, we've had lip syncing nurses, tik-tok "creators" auto-tuned Hamilton hacks and so much more - all in just the past 2 weeks! These clowns have put out more cringe in the past 2 months than most 2 term administrations manage in 8 years.
Even that candlelight mass for Baal last night. With all 30 people. Very moving.

I mean, he's a politician and "trust not in princes" and all that. You go with the good and try to correct over the bad (and for what its worth he claims he was wrong in saying that, calling it stupid). But in the end, it was a really stupid unforced error for no reason at all. He could have kept his idiot hole shut but I guess after awarding the Capitol Police for letting tourists into the building, he felt he had to double down.

What, you mean people who already largely hated their jobs to one degree or another and had the ability to quit, decided to do so after the workplace started deciding to personally supervise their medical decisions and the government created an artificial need for babysitters after shutting down the schools? Nah, too rational. They're wreckers. Purposely ruining Brandon's economy out of malice.

Just saw an announcement that Pelosi invited Biden to give State of the Union address on March 1. Why so late? What kind of fresh hell do they have planned for us that he can't give the speech in January?

Maybe she thinks they can declare the "pandemic" to be over by then and everyone will be unmasked in the chamber?
And Biden will take credit for letting his people go.

The problem with it wasn't so much the expense, which was huge and without any revenue to pay for it, as the purpose. They did it not to save the economy, but to save megacorp asses and prop up companies who caused the entire problem to begin with.
Its like someone deliberately creating a disease being promoted and lauded as our savior, or something.

Cumulative. Ever since I have been reading AoS I've seen lots of people bitching about Cruz and what an SOB he is. Again, I'm not happy with what he did...but then, if I wanted a PERFECT Senator that I 100% agree with all the time, I'd run for office. (I didn't agree with Trump 100% of the time and voted Alfred E. Neuman in 2016. But you know something? I was reasonably impressed enough to vote Trump in 2020. More good than bad, so he got my vote.)

Their last good movie. In the end Broken Lizard had two good movies in them, barely. Its pretty disappointing. But, maybe they will surprise me with another good idea. Clearly they had nothing to offer for a cop movie sequel.

-Don't count people who have given up and left the workforce as unemployed. Unemployment rate drops.
-Reclassify felonies as misedemeanors and don't bother to arrest. Crime rate goes down.
-Reclassify a humiating military debacle as exactly what you meant to do. Foreign policy triumph.
I am seeing a pattern here.

These are lawyerly ways to "solve problems". Change the definition so the problem doesn't exist.
But it doesn't solve the problem, and everyone knows it. All this does is reduce trust. When enough people want the problems to actually be solved, look out.
