The Booming Job Market For Skilled Tradespersons
From Electricians to Solar Installers, and Welders—here’s why skilled tradespersons are thriving during challenging times.www.forbes.com
The jobs are there. It's people not wanting to do them that's the problem.
Numerous past posts of yours.
Denying your past posts doesn't work; anyone can look them up and see what you said.
I will ask you the same as I have into the night post them and show us.
Yes, imports were WAYYYYYYY up during Q1. That's also why the topline GDP figure for Q1 was artificially low (slightly below 0%). Libtards are going to be in for a rude awakening when the Q2 GDP data that gets released in 20 days shows a very high GDP figure (imports way down in Q2). See my prediction thread for more details. I'm predicting a MUCH higher figure than Q1 (I put in a conservative guess at 4+%, but I do think that's the extreme bottom of the barrel of what it will be. I'm actually thinking more in the upper single digits).
Suuuuuuuuuuuuuure.
... but "not as fast as predicted", eh? Personally, I haven't noticed any price increases as of yet. Prices seem to be remaining fairly steady.
"Retailers"
Who?? Amazon?? Walmart?If companies stockpiled during Q1, then wouldn't this be wholly expected during Q2?
Maybe use a hard shell instead of a soft shell next time?
You're so blasted biased with your blanket statements anymore. Try being reasonable for once, what you just said is beyond exaggerated bullshit, it's just lunacy.
lol. It's just another version of...
Richard's argument is yet another example of a special pleading fallacy. A kind of selective set of examples, extended across an entire class: A compositional error.
You said, and I quote: "Inflation occurring and prices going down are mutually exclusive."
I then proved you wrong by providing the example of eggs decreasing in price (from $7/doz to $3/doz) WHILE inflation was occurring.
This is the part where you say "Whoops. I was wrong about that. Thanks for correcting me".
Another thing that never happened or would. The only people who think this kind of stuff have addled, biased minds. So why do you say them? I remember George Carlin saying there are 3 types, stupid, full of shit, or fucking nuts. You seem intelligent, so by George Carlin's scale, you're full of shit.
Denying your posts never works, Tball. He already explained why. So have I.
Damo is dead right on this. You can't project Democrat lunacy on Damo or anybody else.
Nope. Damo happens to be right yet again!
It is a joke, and it is funny. The only ones that would possibly get butt-hurt over it are the folks who really would start handing out the plastic bags.
You aren't very good at jokes because you give off the impression of seriousness.
Well, deadpan is how I roll, it is a great joy and I grok that it is a goodness.
Guess you didn’t process the “even purposely used RCP to invalidate his post”
Even MSNBC figured that one out...
Sorry if I don't get your sense of humor. To me, though, joking around without seriousness, while looking for reactions, is trolling. Not a good look for a forum owner
