    This economy is so bad

    There are exactly two people this dumb and I'm guessing you won't get a third to join you. Funny part is you both claim a background in finance.

    You failed to grasp the math part. Let's try it in English. Rewrite an equivalent for this sentence: "777,000 less Americans employed" = "770,000 more Americans unemployed" Its not the gotcha you think it is. You're stumbling on the fact that more people entered the work force which resulted in 310,000 more people with jobs, but, that requires you to take what he said and meant out of context. You're either a bad faith actor or just full blown retarded. It's what you do.

    There are 777,000 more unemployed civilians in the labor force as compared to a year ago. Can't you foking read? Tell us you're not that retarded.

    ***The 150th Running of the Kentucky Derby***

    Sierra Leone Catching Freedom Fierceness Are my 3 key horses. Exacta box those three. Might try and key them with some longer shots when I get a closer look at'em. Another simple way to do it if you have a favorite is to bet 1u Win 2u Place and 3u Show on that one horse. Catching Freedom maybe. Everyone hops on the favorite (Fierceness) and bets it down in the popular races. Millions of people that don't regularly bet horses. He'll be even money or worse by post time.

    WTF is wrong with you minor in finance? Holy fok, this is simple math pea brain. April 2023 Labor Force: 166,678,000 Unemployed: 5,715,000 Unemployment rate: 3.4% April 2024 Labor Force: 167,982,000 Unemployed: 6,492,000 Unemployment Rate: 3.9% 6,492,000 - 5,715,000 = 777,000 There are three quarters of a million more people in the civilian work force without a job today as compared to one year ago. FACT https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t01.htm#cps_empsit_a01.f.1 Those numbers are the civilian population, you know the ones we use to determine the unemployment rate of CIVILIANS. Now that I've educated you on where the unemployment numbers come from let's look at your claim about 2,802,000 jobs created in the past year. You quoted the Total Nonfarm Payroll. Congratulations, you've just unsuccessfully compared apples to oranges while excluding about 20% of the workforce that makes up the GDP, but who cares, everyone knows you're an idiot so we'll use it anyway. So then, let's ask ourselves where the delta between your 2,802,000 jobs created and the 1,304,000 million increase in the civilian labor force minus the 777,000 change in unemployment went? That's 2,275,000 jobs unaccounted for. One explanation would be a large group of people leaving the groups you excluded; sole proprietors, self-employed, farm employees and moving into the private sectors. Some of that is likely true. But then there is this nugget from your link's fact page. Is the picture starting to become a little bit clearer now? Ruling @GutterBoy Inept, bad at math and reading. @Hardcore troubadour street smart, he sees what's happening.

    You could just listen to Chair Powell. Inflation will be near 4% again when reported on 5/15, increasing a third month in a row. But who cares about the poors anyway, go stocks!

    What is your net worth?

    That's a good set it and forget about it range. Comfortable 4% rule without including SS. It's less than that if you want to spend time managing it.

    Imagine your wife having to get a night job because you're not man enough to provide for the family.

    What is your net worth?

    Sad. Anyone that's been through what you have should be able to retire early: Ass cancer, married to fat ugly demanding, dead end job, closet homo, last in line when they handed out smarts. You should start a GoFundMe.

    Trump's Cognitive Decline and Health

    ICBMs, larger, faster, can possibly leave and reenter the atmosphere. But they're still just rockets. The physics is the same. Quantum computers, AI. Tiny brains think it's impossible. Facts are we probably already have a lot better system than what is public knowledge.

    Trump's Cognitive Decline and Health

    It's a single sentence he latched on to in an article he tried to read to try and educate himself really quick to try and sound smart. . You really make him jump like a monkey. What it means is if a rogue actor got their hands on a couple we would be able to defend ourselves. But we don't have the ability to defend against a large attack from Russia or China. Trump obviously wants to improve on that, but, tiny brains think he's talking about Hamas rockets from Mexico.

    Everyone knows hoarders are old, fat, lazy and poor. Never seen a good looking hoarder, no such thing.

  17. It's so NOT widespread that the AP has a live update page for it. And Tiny Brain thought that was a good link. Since he posted that the number of arrests topped 2,000. Up 25% in an hour. What an idiot.

    Do you still support puppy murderers?

    This is too easy: The puppy murderer. I'd solve the situation as soon as we moved in by offering to take any puppy she had in the future that she thought was too aggressive. If I couldn't quickly convince her why what she did was wrong I'd end up showing her after a couple years of raising a such a pup turning it into the prefect family hunting dog. A dress wearer is a whole different level of mental instability that doesn't come with those types of guarantees.

    ***The 150th Running of the Kentucky Derby***

    Run for the roses takes on a special meaning during an election year. Everyone wants to know who the presidential hopefuls are betting on. Trump is banking on Catching Freedom while Biden posted that he wants to exacta box Just a Touch with Forever Young.

    I don't know about you guys, but I for one would for sure go to CareerBuilder to get my positive credit card news. You know because their parent company invests in and makes money off of people in debt.
