"Far below expectations:" Job growth slows and unemployment rises in April jobs report

Standard MAGA fall back line when they have nothing else. Along the lines  "What about Hunter?", "Hilary did it too", and when they feel super clever, "Let's go Brandon!". Haha, conversation on this thread is over! Once MAGA fall back comes out, Max is out! Peace!

  Your response is such a typical liberal reaction when faced with undeniable truth and facts - liberals ALWAYS take their moronic, brainwashed "logic" and leave while refusing to admit their ignorance, then move on to another topic to infect with their twisted versions of reality. TDS runs rampant thru the liberal mindscape.

Maybe the BI should wait until the April inflation report comes out before writing this article


The April inflation report that you thought Business Insider should wait on, has been released.

 

Inflation in April: CPI Rose 3.4% Year Over Year (businessinsider.com)

 

Stock Market Today: Dow rises over 200 points, S&P 500 on pace for record high after April CPI reading sparks relief (marketwatch.com)

 

Is this what you were expecting? Wall Street sure likes the April numbers, both jobs and inflation.

The attached chart is interesting.  The govt says inflation is 3.4%, but almost every item on the list is over that.

 

61% of the population thinks the economy is in poor shape.  Cumulative inflation is approaching 21% and that rate does not factor in mortgage costs that have doubled under the biden gang.

So it's not what you expected? Or is it what you expected? You're the one who wanted BI to wait for the report, I'm just asking is this what you expected to see, based on your belief that the BI was premature on their article. 

 

 tom's quote: "The govt says inflation is 3.4%, but almost every item on the list is over that."

 

The description of the chart says: "These are some of the core categories, plus other items of notable year-over-year price changes"

 

I think these items are higher because " These are some of the...", not all of the items, that's why the government says it's at 3.4%. It's the same as when every other president has held office over the last half-century. The other reason could be that the Biden administration is using space lasers and mind control to force the U.S. Labor Department to lie. Either one is plausible.

The 3.4% that max is bragging about is 70% above the 2% Fed targert rate.  That is why 61% of the country don't like  te economy.

I'm not bragging about anything, I'm following up with your previous statement about the April inflation report and you're the one that brought it up, not me. 

 

I'm asking is this what you expected? It's a really easy question, so easy, that you can answer simply "yes" or "no". It wouldn't explain why you wanted BI to wait for the report, you haven't explain that either, but at least it would be an answer to your original comment. 

Stat:    Global unemployment went up in 2019

 

Tom:  Because there was a pandemic

 

Stat:  Global Inflation went up in 2021

 

Tom:  What Pandemic?

The reason why the country supposedly doesn't like the economy is that the conservitard propaganda mill has been successful at brainwashing them into focusing on inflation and ignoring all the huge amounts of positive information that have accompanied it...such as extremely low unemployment and high wage growth.

 

But y'know what? There has never in the history of the US been a time when you couldn't pull a Tom and yank one statistic out of the mix and whine and moan and wail about that, while ignoring everything else.

 

The inherent dishonesty of that kind of cherry-picking is why I loathe the way Tom "reasons." And I loathe the conservitard media for stuffing weak minds like his with this kind of crap.
