And then it was presented in the Senate but was blocked from a vote by the filibuster? Sounds plausible, but I frankly don’t remember ANY Democrats bringing up increasing LEGAL immigration. All I remember hearing was them magically turning illegals already here into legals. Nuanced…..

We do allow a defined number of foreigners to legally come to the USA to work. If only we had a Democrat House, Democrat Senate, and Democrat President, we could change the laws to allow more in. Oh wait, what happened the last two years?

Here is the difference
Letting more people in not high on the Dem priority list
Keeping more people out very very very high on the republican priority list

I’m not even sure it is that high on their priority list. How many rich republicans have gotten caught hiring undocumented immigrants?

They are just playing to their racist base who they know REALLY hate brown people.

The Republicans would love to let in all wealthy migrants with a net worth of at least $1 million U.S. dollars. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Epic games lose lawsuit, owe $520 million.

Quote:
"The button configuration within Fortnite was so confusing and inconsistent that it was extremely easy for users to rack up charges for items they did not want," he says, "Game players are kind of fast and furiously pressing buttons. Some of those buttons preview items. Some of those buttons purchase items. And if a user was previewing an item and accidentally pressed an adjacent button, they would immediately be charged for the item with no recourse."

The FTC has identified three categories of consumers eligible for refunds:

-Parents whose children made an unauthorized credit card purchase in the Epic Games Store between January 2017 and November 2018.

-Fortnite players who were charged in-game currency (V-Bucks) for unwanted in-game items (such as cosmetics, llamas, or battle passes) between January 2017 and September 2022.

-Fortnite players whose accounts were locked between January 2017 and September 2022 after disputing unauthorized charges with their credit card companies.

I don't know where you live but I see so many help wanted signs in stores it amazes me that anyone is working.

My time is divided between Queens and Manhattan, where I don’t see any ‘help wanted’ signs.

Your area is recovering from a Cat-4 hurricane and preparing for an influx of snow birds. It doesn't represent the rest of the country.

The BLS can paint whatever rosey picture it wants. The fact remains:

March 2022 Employed: 158,458,000
November 2022 Employed: 158,470,000

The difference does not add up to the reported 2.7 million reported increase in payrolls over that period.

Despite the BLS rosey jobs reports, continuing jobless claims have been steadily rising every week since September.
