In the News II

In June, Fed Chairman Powell said he did not believe the BLS jobs numbers. More proof he reads my posts.

'Even Jay Powell doesn’t believe the jobs numbers — why should we?'

Today, the BLS finally came clean and revised the jobs totals for the year ending in March 2024, down by 818,000 jobs. The most since 2009. Could be worse than that, considering their history.

If you dont want to believe numbers then dont
Even I dont pay attention to those numbers
All these numbers are estimates
Who knows if they are on the money or not
Due to the nature of estimates, probably never on the money, even during the Trump years lol
Nobody knows the real numbers
All that matters to me is the overall stock market
It's up today baby and looking pretty strong
These are solid numbers to pay attention too
Anything estimated is a fantasy
My estimate is job numbers doing allright according to the overall market but what do I know
I know enough to buy Nividia 4 years ago :-)

Yet you believe the numbers below
Talk about a hypocrite
Be honest. If you don't like the numbers, you don't believe them but when you like the numbers, you tout them
ROTFL

Record unemployment across every demographic, including the disabled.

7.2 million job openings. One million more jobs than people to fill them.

Average household income at an all-time high, up $5,400 during first 3 years of Trump, vs $3,300 for all eight years of Obama.

Under Obama, real median household income did not begin increasing until 2015. It was lower in 2014, than it was when he took office in 2009.

Slowest economic recovery since WW2.

That’s all we got after $4 trillion in QE and $27 trillion in bank bailouts.

1.4 million are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, and a quarter of them will die from it. Last year, the editors of The Lancet convened a special commission on prostate cancer to discover, among other things, what the future holds. In April, they published their findings, predicting that between 2020 and 2040, cases will more than double, to around 2.9 million a year, and deaths will rise by 85 per cent to 700,000.

The projections shocked even seasoned prostate cancer experts.

It took me awhile to figure out how to get text out of my Libby library account. I can’t link it though.

Supreme Court takes up first transgender case next term

Quote:

Plaintiffs, including transgender teens and their families, say the law violates the Constitution's 14th Amendment, which requires that the law apply equally to everyone, in part by barring medical treatments for transgender people that are available to others.

I wouldn’t be surprised if hormone treatments are given to young kids for other ailments. That may be one of the routes they’re going.

Why? I haven’t even looked it up but wouldn’t be surprised if kids get hormone treatments for some diseases, Why should they able to block one particular kind?

Seems like nearly everyone wants to be some kid’s doctor and parents and decide for them. I don’t. I support the medical decision not to pursue any gender care just as much as I support the decision to do gender care when it’s been properly medically evaluated. If not one other person think’s that reasonable, I don’t care. You can continue to be wrong.

None of this stuff should be given to minors except for proven birth defects. What is happening is parents and kids think the kids are not "normal" because of what they see on TV. Wait until they are adults. Still a bad idea, but at least adults.

Last I checked, you don't have any medical credentials to make this determination.
