US Politics: Bike tricks

Those are economic indicators right?

You said that the jobs and unemployment figures do not mean anything if not viewed in context with other metrics.

Which metrics, specifically?

Jobs actually created is typically a good thing, jobs being reopened is merely going back to status quo.
I don't call myself a master plumber if I reopen a tap after intentionally closing it for a period of time.

It wasn't just the jobs being created that made the economy under Trump decent, but what the average citizen saw in their QOL.
In short live was a booming for most.

I thought you supported blue collar workers seeing their lives improve?

And how many businesses went bankrupt during covid?

What makes you think those jobs remained available and "the tap just had to be turned back on"?

Those pre-covid jobs are long gone. These are new jobs.

Bwhahahaha no it's not but keep licking Biden's boots why don't you, you utter clown.
It's still at 62.6%. ie under what it was pre Covid.

Does that include the 14-17 year old labor force the Republicans are creating?

You're talking out of your ass, but do continue.

Yes because "X new jobs created" is easy to understand for everyone. It doesn't mean it's meaningful on it's own.
That tweet that cerebus posted is a perfect example of how it can used to paint a false picture.

I mentioned the LFPR and provided the Forbes article that talk about some of the factors that influence it.
Yet he then decides to use a specific sub group within the LFPR which I made no mention of before as some kind of gotcha. That is cherry-picking.

I’m sure most Americans understand the causation there - it still doesn’t make the picture false.

Yep many small business mom and pop stores went belly up thanks to bad Covid policies, those entrepreneurial type businesses don't count as Quo also mentioned in a previous post.

A recovering economy is to be expected if it's not being artificially limited.
You can ooh and ah as much as you want, but it's not yet back to pre-Covid standards.

It will get there eventually though, but again, that has little to do with their policies. Even Zuma would manage this over there.

You'd be surprised what some Americans believe...
Biden attributing jobs returning after the Covid lockdowns to his policies is the height of dishonesty.
He's been doing it since day one. He's been called out on it numerous times. It's practically a meme by now.
However, just like his false stories about his granddad he'll just keep doing it regardless.

Yeah, what does that give you a perspective on? The economy. You’d be an idiot to draw any meaningful conclusions about the economy based solely on that metric though.

So not false still. And no, not surprised since I experience it first hand. He won’t be the first or the last. You should know how politicians are by default.
