I just walked in from smoking some chicken and Fox News was on. Hannity is interviewing Trump and Trump says real unemployment is likely 20%.....
TWENTY FUCKING PERCENT
Now I'm no mathematician but I remember the crash in 08. The economy is craping along no doubt but get the fuck out of here with the ridiculous hyperbole.
PS. Red potatoes diced up & mixed with olive oil & lipton onion soup mix is amazing on the grill.
I don’t see that statistic as that far from reality on the ground. It depends who is being counted. Those on welfare are unemployed, those working part time or working very low wage jobs because that is all they can find should be considered as well. This economy is truly dreadful when you consider how many are bad off instead of how many are well off.
And speaking of whirlybird nonsense...
Obama: 'We Are Fortunate to Be Living in the Most Peaceful...Era in Human History'
Obama: 'We Are Fortunate to Be Living in the Most Peaceful...Era in Human History'
Not only that, if he wants to throw "facts" around... we have the most incompetent embarrassing leader of a Western nation in human history. --- Trump has nothing on this bird in flight.
What era was more peaceful?
When children did not have to walk to school in Chicago fearing they would be assaulted or threatened.
When European women did not have to fear being outside in the evening.
When we did not have to have major security not allowing us to carry even a bottle of water on a plane.
When there are not Islamic terrorists in at least 30 nations mass murdering innocent people because they do not believe the same way the crazy terrorists do.
When cops did not have to feel they had no business trying to protect citizens because other citizens are filled with hate for them because of a few isolated incidents.
Im sorry - you didnt answer the question.
Forced / violent deaths per capita is how you measure how safe we are as a Planetary species.
Compare any era to now, let me know how it fares.
Heres a little advice: headlines of bad news being aplenty is not necessarily relevant to discussing how peaceful the world is - its merely a commentary on how readily available and how much media we have due to modern technology.
Now, try answering by comparing data vs. data, and if you cant well - youve really no fucking business commenting on the veracity of what the President said and becuse you didnt even bother to check the data, he's also probably quite a fucking bit smarter than you are
