    I'll admit DJT should NOT have been taking Fauci's advice but as we heard over and over Fauci was the nation's leading expert. We now know otherwise of course.

    but we have to finish crashing first. about halfway there by expert opinion. (of course that was BEFORE the Make Inflation Worse Act being bandied about right now.
    The markets always go up on news of cuts. Jobs being outsourced results in higher profits. That's the disconnect from the real economy. Capitalism has gone bankrupt 3 times in the first 20 years of the 21st century. It's time to stop pretending we're in a recovery.

    My daughter worked contracting at Microsoft before she became an employee....she told me that of every dollar microsoft paid the contracting company they kept about 25 cents for profits and running their bureaucracy. Thing is at the time it was about the only way to get into the company entry level, they were not willing to hire anyone without getting a good long look at them first, because it is so expensive to get rid of people. She looked at it as wage theft, but had no options.

    Just how would your "daughter" be privy to that kind of information? Did she have a seat at board meetings?

    Wrong. The jobs that returned were simply ones that stopped / were put on hold during the various lockdowns. The economy has hardly grown at all since Joke took office.

    And, the employment rate is the lowest ever too. That is, unemployment is low only because people have stopped looking for jobs rather than people are fully employed.
