You think a few months of Biden has changed that?
Aside from the residual changes from the Trump administration that flow through to the next, there is a natural recovery as the country recovers.

I'm responding to the initial question that Leykis 101 started about what specifically has Biden done.And I somewhat agree with you-what can 3 months really tell us.

But I will say that Biden has done a great job getting the vaccination out to people who want it.That has certainly helped people get back to work.Trump promised 20 million in a month and we ended up with a little over 2 million.He spent his lame duck period crying about how the election was stolen than actually running the country.What you call the natural flow from one administration to the next was actually the worst transition in my lifetime.He was in denial and never invited Biden to the White House.

which would have been far worse if he had locked shit down more. I actually think he should have locked everything down more. This would have made unemployment far worse, but he didn't want to screw the economy that much so didn't. But rightly or wrongly, unemployment when he left office WOULD have been far hight had Biden been around then.

Now you're giving your opinion.I agree with you that Trump should've locked down the country more.He should've taken the virus more serious but he didn't.I think that the US economy and unemployment rate would be a lot better had someone else been in charge.And yes that's my opinion based on Trump's inept handling.

I really don't give too much of a shit about this dumb argument, but damn, are you seriously presenting those figures for any kind of use at all?
Let me edit....

When Trump took office in 2017 unemployment rate was 4.7%.

covid hit and bent every country in the world over and fucked them in the asses

Of course I'm gonna use these figures.Why not use facts.Let's go over these.

We all agree that the unemployment rate was 4.7% when trump took office.

I was going to mention that to NY OIler, that little issue of Covid had a lot to do with the economy and unemployment rate, as you know I am a joint owner of a few restaurants, so I'm fully aware of the ins and out's and in full understanding of the unemployment chain that has to be followed, but you see Biden keeps extending unemployment, so people aren't going back to work, I don't have this problem as we have pretty much worked straight through the covid BS, as has many Utah businesses, but everyday if you watch any news, you will see that restaurants cannot even staff a full crew, they hire somebody, then that person quits and puts it on their unemployment paperwork, people are totally working the system, I do imagine it's different from state to state, and probably way worse in blue states, as many of them aren't even open yet, but I'm just using examples of on the street stats, I read all sorts of stats about all sorts of shit, then I use my brain to figure out the shit I see in everyday life, and a lot of the time it doesn't even kind of resemble the stats, im sure a lot of people do this, just like all the people dropping dead of Covid, im not saying that was false, im just saying everyone I know including myself had it, I don't know of one person I can think of who died from it, so my brain tells me that's something to look at and think about, is it not??

Well the numbers are the numbers.And I think that the economy and unemployment rate would've been better if Trump wasn't the president.But that's a debate on opinion.And I agree that everything is different state to state.I can't fault a restaurant employee making $15 an hour not wanting to go back to work if their place of employment is anti-vax,anti-mask,etc...Why risk getting sick,you get no sick leave,bring the disease home and spread it to family members,etc...The extra $300 a week got extended until Labor Day.I see where that helps the low wage workers who don't want to go to work but if you make good money I don't think it does.

My niece is a doctor in NYC and was in charge of 16 Covid patients in a hospital last April so my view on Covid is different than yours.2 neighbors of mine died from it .People try to compare it to the flu but Covid is stronger,more contagious and deadlier than the flu.

They are practically paying dishwashers $20 an hour, and still cant fill the positions

 

 

 

Do you mean that big $300 a week ? If people do not go back to their jobs they should be reported to unemployment by their employer.If you don't go back to work you lose your unemployment money.But the employer has to turn them in.

Every state has different unemployment laws .In NY you basically get 1/2 of your pay with $504 a week being the max.So let's say that you make $20 an hour-work 40 hours a week.

You'd get $400 a week plus the $300 govt. money so it'd be $700 a week.So if you're out of work for whatever reason you get $100 less a week by staying home.And since most people get their health insurance through work then you would lose that.

In other news jobless claims last week were less than 500,000.That was the lowest it's been since last March.

When Trump took office in 2017 unemployment rate was 4.7%.

When Trump left office in 2021 unemployment rate was 6.7%

Right now unemployment rate is 6.1%

Pretty obvious when you look at the figures.

Which jobs were you referring to that are being created??? hope theres lots for all the new workers to fill them. could you be specific, please?

Unemployment down?? what fucking angel dust are you smoking? They are practically paying dishwashers $20 an hour, and still cant fill the positions cause of all the unemployment being given out, nobody wants to work, seriously what kind of drugs are you partaking of? can you hook me up?

There's a jobs report every month which tells us how many jobs that employers added.Jobs have been added under the Biden administration,as opposed to the previous one,which was a job loser !It's very easy to look up the info on where the new jobs are. My guess is retail,restaurants,etc...

I've explained why America is better under Biden and the response is for me to watch a Youtube video.

I say Fuck that ! 

Jobs being created,unemployment down,stock market up,etc....

I don't need any douchebag youtubers to explain anything to me.I can look at the facts myself !
