Oh, right. Like the data gatherers at the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, everybody at Indeed is also lying, reporting fake news and needs medical help.

I almost forgot.

But, hey, since Trump and his MAGAs are hiding from the BLS Reports because they are as typically and predictably crappy as virtually every other Repub policy and stewardship results of the past 100 years, guess what it is reporting.

Yep. Another "Worst since" a previous Repub policy and stewardship handoff to an incoming Dem, who then went on to recover all the millions upon millions of jobs that Repub, guess who, wiped out with one disastrous policy decision after another for four solid years. And now that same failed Repub president, guess who, is doing it all over again.

You know, I think some MAGA here reminded us how intelligent, worthy and deserving the Greatest Generation was in the past. Boy was that right with regard to their awareness, some would say "wokeness", when it came to elections; After Repub Herbert Hoover left office having lost more jobs than he created, just like guess who, unlike the MAGA voters this past year they were not colossally stupid enough to elect that same numbskull Repub as president again 4 years after FDR began to recover all the jobs Herbert Hoover wiped out!

Job openings in October slumped to lowest since February 2021, Indeed says

Employment opportunities hit their lowest level in more than 4 years as October came to a close and the government shutdown dragged on, according to data from jobs site Indeed.

Indeeds dashboard of indicators also has shown a decline in salary offerings as job advertisements have declined.

For those interested in, why baseload is a myth?

• Renew Economy: Dan Tehan fails to grasp difference between baseload and firming as he sprouts nonsense on nuclear, October 8th, 2025
  
  "It’s a crucial point to understand. “Baseload” is not so much a technical virtue as a business model – the people who invest in coal generators, and nuclear in particular, count on those machines operating at or near full capacity most of the time" https://reneweconomy.com.au/dan-teha...se-on-nuclear/

Absolutely Brilliant Definition of The Baseload Myth:

The quote above (I think), is on of the best descriptions I've ever read, that neatly explains "baseload" from a macro level and cuts to the heart of why fossil fuel incumbents, continue to confuse so many people (especially those "drill-baby-drill" zealots) and blur the two aspects together, as something renewables MUST live up to.

Yeah...simply put, if the fossil fuel companies, monopolies and czars, would love nothing more, than to have you burning their product 24/7, to generate "baseload" electrical power. Which is always great for their bottom-line and your continual "drug" addiction and dependence..

The real innovation isn't in finding a new "baseload," but in building a smarter, more flexible, and truly resilient system that renders the old concept functionally extinct.

In this new paradigm, the virtue is no longer "who can run the longest without stopping," but "who can ramp up and down most effectively to balance supply and demand." The goal is not to find a single source to cover the minimum demand, but to create a portfolio of resources that can meet the entire demand curve, from the baseload to the peak.

LOL. For someone quoting economic stats every fucking day, you really are clueless as to what causes economies to grow. The only economic free lunch I can think of is increased efficiency. The dot com boom was brought on by how much more efficient people could be with the internet. A century earlier, it was the railroads. A decade ago it was shale oil fields.

Thing that we can always count on you Democratic griping about is you gripe about how these pioneers need to pay more. For a parasite like you, money is a fixed item to be fought over because you are worried someone else is going to take your share. In fact, I always hear that crap from Democrats. People have to pay "their fair share" when in reality, the money belongs to the people who produced it not the parasites like you.

What Democratic like you do not get is that money for workers in demand like me is a function of time and the more ungrateful and parasitic you parasites are, the less I want to produce to help you. Now multiply me by billions and you get Elon Musk. He has done more for world efficiency than literally anyone I can think of. He pays $15 billion in taxes, and you are griping about his not paying social security..

Sure, sure, sure, every Great Depression, Great Recession and Massive Jobs Destruction of the past 100 years happening as a direct result of Repub policies and stewardship and none of the great economic recoveries, economic expansions and historic jobs creation is merely a wild coincidence, maybe a witch's curse or some bizarro world economic cycle that only favors Dems and hates Repubs.

Yeah. We know. Nobody knows anything about economics except the desperate Wingers who insist on the above.

Oh, and you are dead wrong about poor widow Elon Musk and his ilk not needing Social Security. Anyone who hopes to sell anything to anyone in America needs Social Security more than I do. If anyone wants to succeed in such a thing he damn well better hope American families have more and not less discretionary spending money in their pockets because they need to take in mom, dad, drunk uncle, old maid auntie to house, feed, medicate and pay for because society has little or no use for someone in their 80's but will possibly live until 95+.

You seem to know even less about Social Security, why it was created, who it benefits and what life was like in America before we had it than you know about economics in general. Which is shockingly little.

[RamDavidson84]

[QUOTE=Spidy;3035734]Yeah, now we all know that you can parrot, said facts reported in that USA Government report, but how about you take the time and LEARN HOW TO READ A REPORT, and to UNDERSTAND, what the data and facts mean?

Why is it you always stumble, bumble and fart-around with UNSUBSTANTIATED FACTS and OPINIONS, and fail to even know what the fuck, your arguing about?

(U.S.) Drug Trafficking: https://www.ussc.gov/research/quick-...ug-trafficking.

You make the argument that immigrants are trafficking (or your words, smuggling) drugs in the USA, but the report clearly shows more white men/women are trafficking drugs in the USA Than non-USA Citizens. Note that sub-category of non-USA Citizens could be anyone from tourists, people on business, visa jumpers, illegal visitors / over-stayers, refugees / asylees, green card holders and / or immigrants. Hence the number of actual immigrant traffickers, is probably way smaller than the 19%, of reported non-USA Citizens. [NOPARSE].[/QUOTE]It took you a week to come up with this garbage.

Again, your putting words in my mouth. I never claimed anything on the percentage of immigrants or non immigrants smuggling drugs in. I clearly stated 19% is way too high. My opinion is that the 44% Hispanic Americans have strong family ties to the cartels in Latin America and are probably first generation Americans or even born in those countries. As I already stated, it is irrelevant to what is important. What is important is stopping Americans from dying from fentanyl.

I don't care who is bringing it in. Republicans don't care who smuggles it in. Republicans and all people who don't have Trump Derangement Syndrome care about saving American lives and fighting against Cartels which control large parts of the Mexican Government. The drugs which are killing Americans are coming from Mexico and Latin America. To stop the drugs, you must secure the border. It is that simple.

As for immigration, yes I think securing the border also means you must remove the maybe up to 25 million illegal immigrants who came. They will contribute to that 44% Hispanic Americans smuggling drugs in the future. As Trump stated, he wants to remove the illegals and then start the process of allowing some of them to return through the legal process where they will fairly pay taxes to live in my country. Drugs and Fentanyl deaths is just one component of removing illegal immigrants. As I stated numerous times, there are many different reasons for why I support Trump's policy on illegal immigrants to the Biden / Democrat policy of an open border. If you make me choose, I favor Trump's policy strongly over the alternative open border disaster.

But the main point of the original argument which you keep trying to shy away from because it is so stupid to fucking argue is that this policy of removing illegal immigrants has absolutely nothing to do with race!! It has to do with fairness, safety, and money. IT IS THAT simple!

You have shown nothing to convince anyone, who doesn't suffer from TDS, otherwise.

And also, your little side quest on why Trump is not targeting European Immigrants was the dumbest argument I have heard in awhile. Please try to explain that more LOL. Again you won't answer the relevant questions which could prove your argument.

How many illegal immigrants from Europe came to USA last year? How many tons of cocaine and fentanyl were smuggling in from Europe last year? We are all waiting on your response Spidy LOL? Try not to take several weeks to reply haha.

Wheel that embarrassing, Know Nothing, Do Nothing, America-hating, blithering, blathering, blatantly obvious conman clown Trump the fuck as far away from the nuclear codes as possible!

He deserves it for everything he's doing for the USA and Real Americans.

Not to mention all the dirty shit the scumbag left threw at him including bullets.

Nothing would ever be too much.

It could only ever be, not nearly enough!

[MarquisdeSade1]

Correction!

The number of Irish deported, should have read, 99 outta 100,000, which is ONLY 0.1% deported. Which seems to be unpar with MAGA Brownshirt (ICE) racial deportation numbers of Europeans.

MDS1, I think if you're going to disprove that your MAGA Fuhrer and his Brownshirts (ICE) aren't racially profiling deportees, may I suggested either one of two things:

either stop shooting yourself in the foot, by providing me data, articles and info that support my "...easier than an impromptu MAGA COLA/CPI pop quiz?",post, here: http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?2467-American-Politics&p=3034939&viewfull=1#post3034939, to fully understand your Fuhrer's disproportional representation on immigration, I'm referring to. .

Our Lord and Savior won a third consecutive election because of "voters" like you.

Real Americans hate "voters" like you and everything you represent.

How do I benefit when you and Spidy get my tax dollars and you pay for hookers? The Democratic douche philosophy is to take my money to buy your vote.

Now, if that were at all true (chuckle), and I'm not saying it is...but it strikes me a something that's diabolically political, the Repubs would do? Just like gerrymandering!

You know the Repubs, I'm talking about?...Like Jeffery Epstein, Roy Moore, Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, Charles Herbster, Justin Eichorn, Robert Morris, John Jessup (w/his own daughter, cause he didn't want to pay for it), Jerry Falwell Jr. and your dear ol' pussy grabber himself, your MAGA Fuhrer. The one would paid off hookers, peeps and creeps outta campaign contributions and church collection plates.

Yeah, those guys, YOUR MAGA "Paycheck Superheroes."

No matter how terrific the economic handoff from Dem to Repub, record high jobs creation by consecutive months, numbers or percentages of them, The Envy of the World Economy, new technology, old technology or no technology, it seriously does not ever matter; incoming Repubs hate the creation of American jobs and LOVE wiping them out ASAP, preferably by the millions upon millions.

Consequently, the incoming Repub will do anything, anything to start wiping out American jobs by hook, by crook, by Pandemic, by Repub Supply-Side / Trickle-Down economic and tax legislation, unnecessary trade wars, lamebrain across-the-board tariffs, whatever, you name it, that is what the incoming Repub will do to start producing the same economic result Repubs have been producing whenever the American electorate is careless, ignorant, gullible or stupid enough to give them the chance.

More lies and fake news. Get professional help, Smoothie!

[Spidy]

What point are you trying to prove? Yes, 19% immigrant drug traffickers is extremely high when its still enough illegal drug traffickers killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. Of the 80% who were American, 44% were Hispanic meaning they are very recent immigrants who still have ties to drug cartels. Only 23.8 were white, and remember about mexican history dumbass, those white people are probably still recent immigrants from mexico because mexico itself is 24% white. Not that it even matters, because 19% is still way to high when the overall number kills hundreds of thousands of americans from fentanyl.

Yeah, now we all know that you can parrot, said facts reported in that USA Government report, but how about you take the time and LEARN HOW TO READ A REPORT, and to UNDERSTAND, what the data and facts mean?

Why is it you always stumble, bumble and fart-around with UNSUBSTANTIATED FACTS and OPINIONS, and fail to even know what the fuck, your arguing about?

And lets go further. Of the 80% who are American, lets go to pretend land and we will pretend none of them have any family ties to Mexico or they have been here more than two generations, even though many of the 44% Hispanic are still first generation and basically Mexican / Latin American. But we will pretend any way. What country did the 80% USA citizens get the fentanyl and drugs from? Was is Sweden? Was is Norway? Was it U. K? No Spidy! It was Mexico! It was Colombia! It came from somewhere in Latin America.

(U.S.) Drug Trafficking: https://www.ussc.gov/research/quick-...ug-trafficking.

You make the argument that immigrants are trafficking (or your words, smuggling) drugs in the USA, but the report clearly shows more white men/women are trafficking drugs in the USA Than non-USA Citizens. Note that sub-category of non-USA Citizens could be anyone from tourists, people on business, visa jumpers, illegal visitors / over-stayers, refugees / asylees, green card holders and / or immigrants. Hence the number of actual immigrant traffickers, is probably way smaller than the 19%, of reported non-USA Citizens.

Since MAGA suckers, aren't too bright when it comes to a clear distinction of people, let me spell it out for you. As the report shows, the people trafficking drugs in the U.S. (where an international portion of drugs, do indeed come from Central/Latin America), are NOT MOSTLY trafficked in the U.S., by immigrants..

Unlike, your neanderthal and unsubstantiated claims about most immigrants being drug traffickers (smugglers), which is clearly FALSE and a LIE!

What you seem to forget, that when international drugs are trafficked to the U.S., the vast criminal organizations, networks, staging and distribution chain of said drugs, don't typically need to use immigrants, to see their drugs to market in the U.S., as the data I presented bores out.

Those Mexican and Colombian drug Cartels, it would seem use, a whooping 80% of U.S. citizens, for trafficking and distribute of their drugs in the U.S. and of which, 24% are white..

As one of our esteemed ISG colleague, would say, "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but your NOT entitled to your own FACTS!". So again, if you're going to debate, you'd better bring FACTS and not just more unsubstantiated lies and opinions (unless stated as such).

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g78nj7701o

Thanks for providing an article that clearly makes my point, about your Fuhrer's disproportionately racist deportation..

Your MAGA suckers still think illegals are being fairly and proportionally arrested, face planted and deported, but your article clearly shows otherwise. ONLY 99 Irish, out of 100,000 in the USA, were deported. That an alarming and measly 1%. What a joke, as your article clearly shows there's a problem with Irish illegals in the USA!

And if this is representative of other European countries, then you've only proven that there are indeed, millions of illegal Europeans, disproportionately not being deported. Thanks for proving my point!

Isn't also funny, that it takes a British publication, to announce the Irish are being deported, where's the USA Fanfare, and headlines, what a marvelous job the MAGA Brownshirts (ICE) are doing deporting 99 Irish folk?

President Donald Trump said he knows nothing about Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, despite granting him a pardon last month.

Zhao, known as CZ, had pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to sufficiently combat money laundering on his crypto exchange.

Binance is involved with World Liberty Financial, a crypto finance platform that sends 75% of token sales revenue to a company linked to Trump and his family.

Hmm. The only tax dollars from poor widow Elon Musk that could possibly have anything to do with putting more rather than less money in my pocket for blowjobs is whatever 6. 25% FICA he pays on his annual income up to $176,100, the same as every other working person, legal AND illegal, in America..

LOL. For someone quoting economic stats every fucking day, you really are clueless as to what causes economies to grow. The only economic free lunch I can think of is increased efficiency.

He pays $15 billion in taxes, and you are griping about his not paying social security.

The idea with social security is that you pay into it and get it back out. It really is not supposed to be a tax but more like a retirement account. That the Feds have raided the social security accounts is one of the biggest travesties of the federal government. Al Gore tried to say it was a lockbox when it was anything but.

In reality, Musk should not be forced to pay into social security because there is no way in hell he is going to need it, but that is not going to stop a greedy parasite like you who wants moar and moar from saying Musk owes me.

How you see fit to put down Elon Musk when he has done so much for the world and paid so much in taxes is beyond me. Instead of being grateful for all the taxes he has paid and all the good he has done for the world, you trash him. You parasites have no respect for yourselves or anyone else. Have you ever thought about doing something to bring money in on your own as opposed to griping about what others are doing with their money? Yeesh.

Layoffs are mounting, making it a 'challenging time to be unemployed':

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/01/layo...ndroidappshare

After a wave of big companies announcing steep job cuts, many laid-off workers may face a financially difficult and uncertain period ahead.

Amazon said on Tuesday that it would eliminate around 14,000 corporate positions, and the United Parcel Service, or UPS, said it had reduced its operational workforce by 34,000 jobs this year. On Wednesday, General Motors laid off roughly 1,700 workers, and Paramount terminated 1,000 people. The Trump administration has also threatened to fire thousands of federal workers during the shutdown, but those efforts have been blocked so far in the courts.
..........
The Bureau of Labor Statistics didnt publish its monthly jobs report in October because of the government shutdown. But analysts have been worried about the state of the employment market for months.

Some companies have said they are trimming their headcounts as they redirect resources to artificial intelligence or respond to President Donald Trumps whipsawing tariff policies and his administrations other priorities. The newest layoffs come amid a backdrop of closed federal agencies, the imminent expiration of food assistance for millions of Americans and reports of people finding it increasingly difficult to land a new job.

Oh look. The numbers for Trump got even worse and for Dems even better just since my most recent previous post!

[EihTooms]

Just since my previous post and over the weekend, the numbers got even worse for Trump, better for the Dems' chances for another Blue Tsunami next year and harder for Trump and his fellow lying, cheating and stealing MAGAs to rig the election in their favor:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/

See the screenshots below vs the ones in my previous post about how the MAGA vote for Trump instead of Harris will cost American families hundreds of dollars more just over the next two months in exchange for absolutely nothing other than perhaps helping to fund MAGA Trump / Repubs' Big Beautiful Tax Cuts For Billionaires and Fuck Everybody Else that will be a blessed relief for poor widow Elon Musk or for Trump to build a bigger hall for him to do his double jack-off homo dance moves to the The Village People's gay anthem hit.
