Stay strong on illegal immigration and the H1B1 visa scam.
Grow food and buy food from local farmers.
Avoid buying stupid stuff you don't really need. But if you do need it, try to find Made in America. I believe this will be ramping up soon.
Avoid big corporations as much as you can.
Help with voter integrity efforts.
Help with non-RINO Republican efforts (even though they are hard to find).
Home school your kids and help with the effort of other people homeschooling their kids.
Get into real, practical professions instead of parasitic bullshit.
Keep fit and healthy.
Be filled with the wonders of creation.
WHAT? YOU THINK YOU CAN'T HANDLE MORE WINNING? YES, YOU CAN!!
Why is this pinned?
We do realize that, when people stop giving up looking for jobs completely, they are no longer counted in the “jobless claims” totals, correct?
Shame on ZeroHedge for putting the explanation: “ Those wondering what was behind the unprecedented drop in claims, the answer appears to be a crash in New York State initial claims.” We should not be making claims that the country as a whole is doing better just because NY initial claims have fallen.
All the way at the end of the article.
This is not good news. This is not winning. This, as stated in the article, is AI replacing human workers and people not actively looking for employment.
What do other states look like in terms of claims? How many are repeat jobless claims? How many have dropped out of submitting and looking for a job completely?
Beware headlines claiming ~stellar hiring~ this summer, too. If they don’t report how many new hire are seasonal (temporary) vs. expected to be full time/permanent, they’re trying to fool you by saying hired summer help means the economy is thriving.
Economics 101 should be a mandatory course starting in high school. This is one of the most frustrating things about how our government pushes “economic data” to spin stories about economic conditions that are not reflective of the true economic reality.
I agree.
But perception matters a ton with the economy.
That's because it's human nature to operate off of perception. That's never going away in my view.
