I actually don't think he's going to run - he likes the occasional troll but his heart isn't in this one. I think Vance will run with Jr and then Vance will try to declare himself the winner after he loses, likely by a lot, and then things will get un fun
It takes a significant toll on my mental health to see normal people/supposed allies fall over themselves like this. It's that stuff which makes me want to give up, not the admin's lame attempts at trying to scare us. I've seen enough not to let that cow me either but it'd be better not to do that
These aren't even goons they're lawyers (all, what, 10 of them left in the OCR?). And that's probably because federal law prohibits armed federal personnel from being at polling places
Right that second part is what I mean by separate reasons (I still think all things being equal landlords in NY have actively sought bigger slices of the income pie than just tracking or outrunning inflation by some fixed percentage, but regardless we gotta build a lot more to control that)
They're the ones who got it that low! That was because of stimulus. Many people said at the time that 3.5 was so low it wasn't sustainable! And on the higher end it's still low!
I'm latino. But I *cannot* believe that someone hates Biden econ policy because they somehow didn't fight for every job opening - that was literally the entire point of everything they did, it worked, and they suffered for it because of the inflation it contributed to. Sorry you're just wrong
Are we talking about right now? Now the labor market is looking wobbly. But there is no way we saw anything higher during Biden after COVID than 4.something, which is very good, and most of that time we had sub-4, which is amazing.
The inflation spike happened mostly in 2022, and unemployment did not spike at all after that. Some places in tech I know laid a lot of extra people off that they'd hired during covid but that was not a general feature of the whole economy at that time
If layoffs were "common" to a significant degree more than before unemployment would have been up, which it was not. It may have been in certain sectors at certain times, like this article suggests, but that's just how it always is. Economic policy can't stop that from happening period
That's a sign of the job market being good, because people felt comfortable quitting their job for the possibility of another, better paying job! That also drove wage growth. Quits going down is a sign that the job market is bad, because people feel that they can't quit!
