It's what I recall from every recession discussion in my life. That being said, jobs are a bit more. They are still going up from Covid recovery, and I suspect a lot of young folks who were voluntarily out of the work force are opting to get back in, given inflation and housing costs.

As I said in another post- the most some economists are saying is that if we are in a recession it is unlike any we've ever experienced. Even still- the job numbers and stuff (for whatever reason) are signs we are not in a recession yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean Mooney 2,042 Posted August 10, 2022 More good-ish news economy wise: Quote Runaway inflation took a breather in July, with consumer prices increasing by 8.5% year over year, a slower pace than the 9.1% increase in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. On a month-to-month basis, inflation was 0%, compared to the 1.3% increase in June. Prices began rising sharply in early 2021, with the rate of inflation almost doubling over the past year. "I think inflation probably has peaked in year-over-year terms," said Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank. Core inflation, which does not include volatile food and fuel components, was unchanged on a year-over-year basis after June's 5.9% jump. Months' worth of increases in the Consumer Price Index, which covers a wide array of goods and services Americans buy, pose a growing challenge for the Federal Reserve, which has committed to reining in soaring prices while trying to avoid plunging the economy into a recession. So again as I said yesterday- more signs that we may not be in a recession, or at the very least- one that is similar to any that has happened before.

He was just the vehicle that they thought was reasonable enough to get more votes. Buden means nothing to these people.

Masshole 642 Posted August 13, 2022 I don't usually do the "if you read nothing else this week - read this" kind of statements. But, yah - if you read nothing else this week - read this: https://www.city-journal.org/the-elite-panic-of-2022 Excerpts: The digital age has battered that peaceable kingdom to bits. Obama seemed unaware of the argument he was making, but it boiled down to this: the rise of social inclusiveness has opened the door to political chaos. As in the Judge Mizelle flap, the question, asked only tacitly, was who had the authority to make projections and recommendations. Online, everyone did. People with opinions that the former president found toxic—nationalists, white supremacists, unhinged Republicans, Vladimir Putin and his gang of Russian hackers—could say anything they wished on the Web, no matter how irresponsible, including lies. A defenseless public, sunk in ignorance, could be deceived into voting against enlightened Democrats. Total blindness to the other side of the story is a partisan affliction that Obama makes no attempt to overcome. At Stanford, he never mentioned the most effective disinformation campaign of recent times, conducted against Trump by the Hillary Clinton campaign, in which members of his own administration participated. He simply doesn’t believe that it works that way. Disinformation, for him, is a form of lèse-majesté—any insult to the progressive ruling class. For a considerable number of agitated people, the goal of neutrality was an abomination. Suddenly, “free speech” became a code for something dark and evil—racism, white nationalism, oligarchy, transphobia, “extremist rightwing Nazis”—all the phantoms and goblins that inhabit the nightmares of the progressive mind. Self-awareness was the first casualty of this war of words. The Washington Post, owned by multibillionaire Jeff Bezos, solemnly preached the need for regulation “to prevent rich people from controlling our channels of communication.” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
