@WHCOS
The unemployment rate is now down to 4.8% -- in just eight months. We've created 2x more jobs under President Biden in his first nine months than any administration in history.

MEDIA should be all over this encouraging, history making news about our President's success, against all odds, & committment for the American people.
WTF ARE YOU CORPORATE OWNED MEDIA?
DO YOUR FKING JOB FOR THIS COUNTRY.

(15,325 posts)You either live what this country has stood for or you want to burn it all down, roll the dice & gamble our Democracy for a magical promise of free shit & mob rallys, with no talk of how you'll get there or a future beyond it.
When our most sacred documents that guide us, our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, or welcoming & lifting all from what they left behind is ignored or not ever spoken of, when religion & ideologies are teased pitting one against another, encouraged by our leaders who, by their actions show us an example of the nation they want to see, where violence against another be it race, gender or ideology is not heeded as a warning & a threat against those very sacred documents we hold as our guide, then we do have to look closer & ask who they are.
Are you committed to a fair Democracy for all or are you encouraging an authoritarian lopsided ideology that breeds violence, mockery & hate.
Is that the world you want to live in? Your children & generations beyond?
I prefer to say we are stronger together as we build back, better.
Stronger functioning nation, better future.
That is Democracy. And that is the strength & timelessness of the Democratic Party.
Thank you my Cha, for allowing my perspective.

(10,045 posts)the numbers mean or how to interpret them, so they just make shit up about what they think they mean.

(4,619 posts)And use the media to confuse the people they are robbing.
The $3.5 billion they spend on 12,000 lobbyists will mean nothing of Democrats actually hold the reigns of power and use their power for economic, and environmental, and criminal justice.

(51,582 posts)"For months, economists predicted a surge in hiring in September as unemployment benefits expired for millions of workers and schools reopened across the country. Instead, last month marked the weakest hiring this year, and an alarming number of women had to stop working again to deal with unstable school and child-care situations.
"The numbers are striking: 309,000 women over age 20 dropped out of the labor force in September, meaning they quit work or halted their job searches. In contrast, 182,000 men joined the labor force, Labor Department data showed.
The simplest explanation for the mediocre jobs gains in September is the rapidly spreading delta variant of the coronavirus. It zapped a lot of momentum from the recovery as people in many parts of the country became more hesitant to eat out and travel. A mere 2,100 jobs were added in hotels and just 29,000 in restaurants."

(15,325 posts)What was the last event in history that brought the entire world to a standstill?
WWll, maybe, & the global shock of realizing the slaughter of 6 million human beings had taken place while we slept every night in our beds?
Its like speeding down the road & suddenly slammimg your transmission into reverse.
The impact of the entire Covid faliure by those tasked by their oath to protect, may only be realized someday as we are able to revisit it once long in America's past.
I live in a flight path to Dallas Ft Worth Int Airport.
3 or 4 distinct times a day we can sit outside & watch as the planes come overhead to land.
We've come to identify what airline the plane represents . Its a thing that measures the passing of time.
Now when Covid was at it's peak & we knew little about what we feared, we would isolate to the back patio, and the thing I remember being significant was that there suddenly were no planes on the flight path to DFW Airport.
It was eerily silent.
These are the stories we will hear of oneday, as time moves us beyond this, & we recall a moment that stays in our memory by the sheer impact it had on the life we once lived.
*Your statement as to women in the workforce dealing with children at home because of the impact with our schools, is a major factor & you absolutely hit that point.
Thanks.

(51,582 posts)I told my sister that I wish I could see into the future in order to study the various changes that Covid has brought to us. There are so many areas where Covid has altered our behavior. Researchers will have fun evaluating all the info they will accumulate in the years to come.

(15,325 posts)My granddaughter missed her entire 7th & 8th grades of middle school.
Those are years of significant growth as kids enter maturity.
The education skills that were lost or changed was also impacted greatly & that goes for all grade levels.
I would like to see into the fuure as to how 1 -2 years of isolation from peers & development affected kids.
I wonder how they will tell their stories of this time. What memories they'll have to tell when they are adults.

(51,582 posts)and they have told me recently (after in person school resumed in San Diego a few months ago) that their students are a year behind. One teaches Spec. Ed for pre-K and the other teaches Spec. Ed in High School. Learning has been especially difficult for students with special needs.
Covid has been involved with almost every aspect of our lives, as individuals and as groups, and will be studied for many years and way past my lifetime. However, if Fux News is in business for another 25 years only half of the country will ever know what really happened during Covid in the US and the rest of the world.

(35,321 posts)good. There are obviously enough jobs available to at least cut that in half IMO.

(15,325 posts)No simple task, he had to 1st get people safely mobile again, while stimulating growrh in the economy, and seeing that people had money in their pocket to eat, exist & pay the bills.
A slow & skilled calculation of backing that car up & out of the deep ravene safely until all four tires were back on the road.
Look where we are just 8 months from his Oath Of Office, no one but Joe Biden would have believed it possible, on that lucky day for America.
