Jobs have been strong for a decade? The unemployment rate in August of 2009 was 9.7%

Iirc actual job participation was crazy low. Something like 65% or thereabouts.

*Edited as I started one sentence and finished another. Meant to show 35% of the people were not working*

It’s not about what Trump says, it’s about what is happening. That is what is happening James.
How long do you think consumers will buy cheaply made products from China that cost more? Not long, they’ll get it from somewhere else. If you were China would you want that?
It has nothing to do with Trump, he just happens to be the only leader we’ve had with the balls to do it.
China is banking on folks like you.
James Lee and others like him support China over America. Shocking.
 
:scream:
haha...now Smollet and his lawyers are arguing the police investigated his accusations too vigorously.

How dare them! :scream: .
 

I read about this and saw Brees’ reply to it. Totally ridiculous. Brees is one of the best guys in the NFL. Great family man, gives a ton to the community, very well liked by most NFL fans. Just because some fringe hate group was loosely tied to the message he was delivering, he gets lumped in with them. Unfair and stupid.

Imagine if everyone who didn’t bend a knee to Trump was lumped in with whacko fringe lefties this way. Oh wait......

U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked
https://apnews.com/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0

Coastal flooding and crop failures would create an exodus of eco- refugees, threatening political chaos, said Noel Brown, director of the New York office of the U.N. Environment Program, or UNEP.

He said governments have a 10-year window of opportunity to solve the greenhouse effect before it goes beyond human control.

As the warming melts polar icecaps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet, enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, Brown told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday.

Coastal regions will be inundated; one-sixth of Bangladesh could be flooded, displacing a fourth of its 90 million people. A fifth of Egypt's arable land in the Nile Delta would be flooded, cutting off its food supply, according to a joint UNEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study.

Shifting climate patterns would bring back 1930s Dust Bowl conditions to Canadian and U.S. wheatlands, while the Soviet Union could reap bumper crops if it adapts its agriculture in time, according to a study by UNEP and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis.

The most conservative scientific estimate that the Earth's temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, said Brown.

The difference may seem slight, he said, but the planet is only 9 degrees warmer now than during the 8,000-year Ice Age that ended 10,000 years ago.

Brown said if the warming trend continues, the question is will we be able to reverse the process in time? We say that within the next 10 years, given the present loads that the atmosphere has to bear, we have an opportunity to start the stabilizing process.

He said even the most conservative scientists already tell us there's nothing we can do now to stop a ... change of about 3 degrees.









That article is 30 years old.

The hard sell. Only 10 years, act now!!!

The 1-7 degree uptick has been revised. Only a fraction of 1 degree gets us to Armageddon today.

I like how the Russians were still the left's good guys. The Soviets were gonna save the planet(at least fellow comrades) with their bumper crops. Capitalist regions of the planet decimated.

China, at the time, would essentially be at zero emissions. 1989 worldwide emissions were to much for our planet to bear. Are we at ten fold past that now?

The rest:




PETER JAMES SPIELMANNJune 29, 1989

A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

Brown said if the warming trend continues, ″the question is will we be able to reverse the process in time? We say that within the next 10 years, given the present loads that the atmosphere has to bear, we have an opportunity to start the stabilizing process.″

″We have no clear idea about the ecological minimum of green space that the planet needs to function effectively. What we do know is that we are destroying the tropical rain forest at the rate of 50 acres a minute, about one football field per second,″ said Brown.


Each acre of rain forest can store 100 tons of carbon dioxide and reprocess it into oxygen.

Brown suggested that compensating Brazil, Indonesia and Kenya for preserving rain forests may be necessary.



 
Trump's tweet said may. Libs laughed and said it was stupid. Now, as usual, there's proof he was right. There was a chance. Yet libs will triple and quadruple down.



I always think these are hilarious. Unfortunately it really isn't like this. Libs don't stress over hypocrisy. They never think that far. They just say whatever their overlords want, no matter if it's consistent or not.

The greatest example is the Muslim/gay rights stances. But there are countless more
Nearly every one of their views contradict each other or when combined together are literally impossible. For example: They want free health care for all, while also wanting open borders. So they want a few rich people to essentially provide health care for the entire 3rd world. My favorite: The government is evil, racist and corrupt, let's give them all of our guns!!

You have a valid point. Too many on both sides are guilty of this, but the thing is, these days, the whacko fringe lefties are no longer on the fringe, they're mainstream and calling the shots, my friend. Take the current primaries for example. It's getting pretty wild. So, as wrong as it may be, it's more tempting and easier to generalize.

The fringe "right", whatever that is (KKK?, John Birch Society?... if they even still exist), is nowhere near as prominent as the fringe "left".

The "far right" held an event once in the last 3 years and it's been brought up by every single lefty politician ever as evidence we're becoming Nazi Germany. To a reasonable person the universal backlash to Charlottesville would be enough to convince you white nationalism simply isn't a thing.

That’s not the point though P.

I’m a pretty damn normal guy, but a lot of people on this board think that because I call myself a Democrat, it means I am on board with everything that every dem in the world says or does. Is the “far left” more prominent and dangerous than the “far right?” Yes. That doesn’t make me part of it.

Private payroll growth way above Wall Street estimates despite recession fears.

Private payrolls grew by 195,000 in August vs. the 140,000 estimate from economists surveyed by Dow Jones.

130k with 25k being temp jobs for the census. So basically 100k. Monthly growth 35% lower than last year so far. So since Trump has been in charge job growth and GDP growth have both gone down every year. MAGA!

Which Dem presidential candidate represents your views even a little bit? There are two dozen of them, surely one isn't a socialist. You are the outlier of the Dem party, not the ones running.

They have run the numbers and have decided that they don't need you.
