Unemployment Surges, Economists Warn of the "Border Czar Kamala Harris Recession"
Happy Friday, the greatest day of the week. Do you have plans? I am planning exciting stuff: cleaning, organizing, and starting to think about planning the initial steps of the opening stages of Sh3lving Phas3 Thr33, "PROJ3CT GR3YWOLF."
The Harris-Biden economy is a disaster, a bloodbath, the worst economy in history, people can't even believe how bad it is. It stinks!
"Expectations," economic jargon for "a list of shit that ain't gonna happen."
The latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals troubling signs for the Harris-Biden economy, with unemployment blowing past expectations to 4.3% in July, the highest since October 2021.
A friend said that any society with any thumos -- Greek for spirit, breath, blood, heart -- left in it would revolt over the last fact alone.
July saw the unemployment rate jump to 4.3%, blowing past expectations and marking the highest level in nearly three years. Over the past year, 1.2 million native-born Americans have lost jobs, while 1.3 million foreign-born workers gained employment.
Since July 2023, 311,000 more people are working multiple jobs, and 558,000 additional Americans are now forced to take part-time jobs due to economic pressures. Diving Deeper: The latest jobs report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics casts a grim light on the Harris-Biden economy, with unemployment blowing past expectations to 4.3% last month, the highest rate since October 2021. This unexpected rise has spurred fears of a looming recession. Economist John Lonski expressed his concerns to Fox Business, stating, "I'm beginning to smell a recession coming into view...this jump by the unemployment rate, my goodness, 4.3%, this is up sharply from not long ago." The higher-than-expected unemployment rate caused markets to react negatively on Friday morning, with fears of a recession becoming more pronounced. Despite these worrying trends, Vice President Kamala Harris has maintained that "Bidenomics is working."Kamalanomics, you mean. It's now been 13 days since Biden withdrew and declared Kamala Harris his protege and successor. Harris has refused to sit for a press conference or any kind of questioning, even by friendly press. She is attempting to run the Biden Basement Strategy, despite not having Biden's excuse for it. (That he's ancient and might die of covid if he speaks to another person.) Is the press really going to permit her to get away with this? Are they really going to keep pushing her as the New Obama even after she shows that she has no confidence in her own smarts and abilities? Answers: Yes, and Yes.

So, I've been thinking about this supposed change in dynamics.
Pre-debate, Trump was winning. No one knew, not one person, that Biden was in any way less than sharp as a tack mentally, and he was still losing because...reasons.
The debate suddenly reveals to the world, even the White House Press Corps, that Biden isn't great, and the ground falls out. Also, you know, Trump was nearly assassinated.
And it's all fixed and done because Kamala stepped in. What did it fix from the fundamentals from before the debate? Her brown face? The brown face that wasn't good enough to win primary votes 4 years ago?
The explanation is seriously lacking some logical connections.

Employment has been over-reported for several years, now, as Biden Junta claims great "jobs created" number, while the actual total number of employed has hardly moved at all.
Unemployment is under-reported, because a lot "unemployed" or under-employed are people that have just given up and fallen off the statistical measurements.
And the Media and the band, just play on.

And, of course, they're lying about that - they'll quietly revise the unemployment figures upwards in a few weeks.
One of the things Obama did is that government economic statistics became completely unreliable when the Democrats are in power - the initial statistical releases are always quietly revised downwards later.

I personally think this has been the situation for decades. After Reagan there hasn't been a Republican worth a shit until Trump upended everything. The back and forth between parties is total bullshit. They're one and the same party. Run by the same movers and shakers.
The "President" is given a script on day one and told "don't go off it or else."
The only problem facing these people now is that the nominal "President" is brain dead and the heir apparent is retarded.
But they'll still run the show regardless...

The obvious takeaway is that there's nothing left of Biden's brain. It's mush. He has no idea where he is or what he's doing. He should be in a rest home.
But the second takeaway is: Wtf was SS doing? I didn't see any chubby lady SS there, but the males ones who were there just stood there gaping. Wtf? Is everyone in the SS incompetent? I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to let the president wander onto a private, unsecured plane.

Probably a pretty big change of a 5-25 percent correction is coming, maybe deeper depending on what the Fed does or does not do regarding rates in September.
I pulled out of most of the market this July as it is a time for wealth preservation over that of yield potential.
Posted by: whig at August 02, 2024 12:17 PM (qdbNv)
The idiot Fed kept rates too high for too long. The morons at the Fed must have been watching Fox News and believing all the hysteria about inflation. They've kept rates too high and may cause a recession in the next few months. The Fed shouldn't wait until their next meeting. They should cut rates now.
This, and disappointing jobs reports. We have to be on the message. This will dent our progress. Cut that interest rate, Powell!
8. One bright spot: the Labor Force grew by a very large 420k in July, explaining a lot of the 0.2 pp increase in unemployment rate
Way way way overdue for some kind of correction. I.e., like 4000 points (Dow). Better now than in October!
Central banks just had a meeting, Jerome said maybe in September. Then when September rolls around he will have another excuse. Remember TSF nominated Jerome and he gave him orders to not cut rates until after the election.
Big hedge funds are owned by republicans, they're tanking the markets to help their party make our side look bad. The markets are corrupt as hell.

According to Rich Baris on the radio yesterday the only two groups where Kamala does better than Joe are black women and young people and apparently some Dems who’d switched to RFK Jr because of Biden’s age are now returning.
I personally believe (without evidence) that the polls are being “fixed” to drive a Kamala-mania narrative. I mean that MI poll that had her at +10 are you kidding me??
Without any polls I’d have assumed Kamala is worse than Joe… he draws rust belt votes (mysteriously to me)… she has zero appeal there….

All it "fixed" is that the polls went from D+5 to D+10. It's all gaslighting.
Meanwhile, even her core base -- blacks and especially black women -- are coming out against her. Big donors are skeptical. Her own campaign manager says she can't win. Her campaign is so worried that they enlisted some white cat-lady Karens and impotent white soy-boy quiffs to fawn over her. And the potential VP candidates are jockeying for position . . . to NOT be considered as her VP.
She is dead in the water. Only an atomic steal will get her across the line in November.

Intel is spending a lot of capital right now trying to be competitive and that is part of it. Yields on Meteor Lake chips for Christmas are apparently problematic right now and Intel faces a debacle over its 13th and 14th generation chips having some manufacturing defects. For now, Intel has pushed out two more years of warranty and a change in microcode tamping down performance induced voltage surges.
But, Lunar Lake laptop chips, which is being produced by TSMC is likely to cause a rebound effect on the stock as TSMC foundaries have not had the recent Intel problems. We will have to see but probably good power control and very competitive performance vis a vis Apple's M3 chip and AMD's Strix Point, etc.
Laptops exceed desktops nowadays so it might bump up Intel stock if Lunar Lake launch goes well next month.

Not everyone assigns the same importance to a particular issue. I know a lot of people who will vote Democrat because Republicans generally refuse to use "preferred pronouns". Sure, they'll complain about the economy, but to them the pronouns are more important.
That's true on both sides regarding a wide range of issues.
Also, most people just don't understand economics well enough to realize most of the numbers we get are cooked. For most people, if I have a job and everyone in my family has a job, things are going... well enough.

Yeah, there was the pre-dropout nugget that said that Obama's team was ready to take over the campaign once Kamala took Biden's place.
They're really trying to redo 2008.
Except they can't put Kamala out there all that much, the playbook has been tired for almost 20 years now (it didn't work in 2012), and she's effectively the incumbent.
Hope and change...keep the same.

Also people will be completely surprised by J.D. Vance. Guess what? He is a normal human being who can talk about policy in language people can understand. The MSM will not be able to get away with their lies about who he is.
And Awfls will not decide this election.
I'm a bit worried about this. No, Kamala isn't a good debater, but neither is Trump. He's really good at getting people already on his side to be enthused, but that's because he amuses them. By classical debate rules, he's terrible. I understand that his schtick may play well, but it also might not, and if Kamala can get it together for a night, she could conceivably make him look stupid.
Or, I may just be a worrier.

They get both streams of income (work and welfare) which makes them more cost effective than hiring natives and they have better work ethic than natives living off welfare.
Often chain migration brings in their families as well.
Overall, unrestricted immigrants cost societies more than they bring in tax wise and the unseen cost is deterioration of native born economic conditions as they are both taxed for the migrant bennies as well as native welfare cases and their wages and jobs decline because subsidized by government workers are always cheaper.
"A decade ago, Nobel prize-winning economist Milton Friedman admonished the Wall Street Journal for its idée fixe on open-border immigration policy. "It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state," Same goes for alleged free trade--the benefits and the costs go to different segments of Americans.

Might want to read Aristotle on Politics. People that speak policy dialectic in a debate will always lose a debate with someone speaking good rhetoric. The best rhetoric is that which the audience recognizes as 'true' but a simplifications of the matters.
Dialectic discussion is simply boring to most of the audience and more to the point, leads to inevitable disappointment of those relying on those promises to be fleshed out into government policy.
As far as actual debates, we simply do not have those regardless of what the media calls it. That sort of debate requires patience from the audience far greater than possible in this era. Few today would like a televised Lincoln Douglas style debate.

No, Trump ain't a Harvard Debate Club debater. But he's effective in getting his point across in a way that most people will understand.
Ted Cruz is a much better classical debater. But Trump easily "beat" him in the 2016 debates in terms of winning political points and potential voters.
I think he wipes the floor with the whore. I expect he would do what he did with the Biden debate: let Kamala destroy herself. She'll be drunk, waving her hands around like she's having a seizure, with gibberish -- and maybe some old Willie Brown jizz -- drooling out of her mouth.

Jul 31 There are an estimated 339,000 non-citizens living in Georgia.
If the 14% proportion holds true state wide, this would equate to over 47,000 registered non-citizens.
For context, Joe Biden "won" the state of Georgia by less than 12,000 votes in 2020.'"
And that is only those that admitted they were registered. And there is still Active Registration of illegals (by NGOs and other misfits). This is a huge problem, and only a few thousand here and there are removed. Like 2020, I fear Trump will again be caught flat footed at 2AM election night. Battleground states are making it harder to contest the steal, or to even find the steal ... except for the "surprising" 125% turnout rates.

When the Feds broke-up the Standard Oil Trust in the early 20th Century, the new, separate corporations were, as best I can recall:
Standard Oil of New York (eventually Mobil)
Standard Oil of New Jersey (eventually Exxon)
Standard Oil of Ohio
Standard Oil of Indiana
Standard Oil of California (eventually Chevron)

Glibness in debate has not led the UK residents to happiness though. Glibness in debate is not the same as actually being able administrators. Also leads to a false evaluation of a glib person's performance by rubes.
In the US, press conferences serve about the same measure in US politics and that is why Obama, Clinton, and Biden along with Kamala simply avoid them at all costs.

Gov Shapiro had a case reopened by a review by the PA supreme court about possible suppression of a murder charge on an ally. This I think is greater than any charge of Jew. This could have popped up due to some serious pressure on a number of allegations of corruption in PA, but then on the other hand this is a signature move by Obama, who has a history of opponents suddenly having closed and sealed cases popping back up to trip them up.

if Kamala can get it together for a night, she could conceivably make him look stupid.
Posted by: Archimedes
+++++++++++++++
Kamala has a way of getting "tough" in hearings and debates that makes her sound like she's in charge of the conversation. Her face gets all tight and she sounds like she's either lecturing or making a tremendous emotional appeal. That shyte doesn't even work in legitimate debate. There's nothing you can do with it except answer in kind or dismiss it.
I'm glad Trump doesn't fall for that shyte and he punches back, but it does leave an impression that Kamala "has what it takes" or whatever.

Kammie has not held a press conference in the US since Biden announced she was his VP pick, 4 years ago.
She's done a few joint two-questions-only charade press conferences overseas after meetings with national or NATO leaders.
My bet is her handlers are still trying to get her to understand the difference between national debt and budget deficit, and to get her to remember there are only 50 states, and Puerto Rico, Guam, and DC are not states.

Ramen is primarily an Asian dish. I would think it would be in the Asian food section.

Simone Biles, fresh off her record setting performance at the Olympics, decides to put her foot in it by posting "I love my black job" in a dig at Trump.
Ugh........This is why we can't have nice things.

Joe Biden climbed back up the stairs of an airplane he wasn't supposed to be on, as Kamala Harris and the Secret Service watched in disbelief. He clearly has no idea where he is or what he's doing. h/t @ianmSC

2:27 minutes; it just takes Joe 2:15 minutes to realize it and deplane.
Watch, tomorrow they'll claim that he went aboard to thank the flight crew for bringing the released hostages home.

No doubt of that before the USSC ruling on the immunity case. Now, many believe Merchan knows the verdict in his trial is toast because he allowed Hope Hicks testimony about Trump's behavior in his official capacity. as President.

They come in bowls with powered broth. Where else would you put them? Cereal aisle?

They've always been in the soup isles of all supermarkets as long as I can remember. They can be eaten as a soup if most of the liquid isn't drained off. Chicken or beef broth with noodles. And sodium.

My former company Stellantis alone accounts for 400 US engineers laid off in March (including me) and replaced by remote workers in India, Mexico, Brazil and people from India living in Canada.
And this month Stellantis is offering "voluntary separation" packages to the rest of the US workforce up to Vice President level. And if they do not meet whatever arbitrary target they have for cuts, more layoffs will follow.
Stellantis is taking the entire experienced, knowledgeable and passionate car enthusiast US workforce of FCA (Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles) and replacing it with cheap foreign remote inexperienced, know-nothing "engineers" in India, Mexico, Brazil and people from India living in Canada.
Replace everyone with experience and knowledge and expertise with people with no experience, knowledge or expertise who do not even live in the country. The Great Reset, the Great Replacement in action.

When he veers into politics - he gets off base and his biases get the best of him. When he stays to numbers and geography and demos he is quite effective.
He predicted the Russian invasion, was just shocked like all of us how bad Russia's armed forces actually performed, but has consistently said that the Russians have more men, and the Ukrainians would need a kill ratio much higher than what they had achieved. China is in a demographic decline. I'd be shocked if they had over 700 million people by 2050. He expects a huge issue by 2030.
Then he failed to take into account that just because you have a large generation , they will produce a large generation. The US millennials are proving that wrong.
