    This so stupid I’m wondering if I’m missing something.

    Since 440 is more than 339, isn’t it inevitable that the unemployment rate would go up? Right?



    Let me know quickly enough so I can avoid embarrassment by deleting this post if I’m missing or misunderstanding a piece of the logic puzzle here.

    This is a terrific thread, where the author continually cites issues where 60% or more of the people polled disagree with the standard Republican/conservative position. It gets to stop, stop, he’s already dead territory, which I liked.







    That’s some solid prose right there.

    He’s nowhere close to Liberace, but solidly into “but not that there’s anything wrong with that” territory.

    Yeah, the participation rate isn't the rate of people employed, it's the number of people either employed or looking. So you can have people that used to be unemployed finding jobs, and people who were employed losing them. They can even be the same person if they lose a job and then find one quickly. If you have large numbers for both it means employers are churning, not something unmathematical is going on.

    Just watched the 1973 movie The Laughing Policeman where they had a scene in a gay strip bar, and there were a hundred patrons looking just like that in there. So he's either 1973 gay or 2023 gay but is nostalgic for 1973.

    It's not tech, it's a lot of people in STEM fields who have this attitude. I've met way too many engineers and such that act like this. And Twitter is full of them, too.

    Of course, the fact that these people (Musk and Dorsey) are rich as sin doesn't help, either.

    And I also have recently seen the infamous short Scorpio Rising which was gay biker themed, but it depicted more an underground event and Pence's image has a different vibe.

    Can't say the short really held up. It certainly was influential, but now we've seen its tricks in a hundred movies made since then by better directors. The music choices were distractingly on-the-nose.

    this was debunked. They are different survey data sets he is quoting so they don’t quite line up.

    More on this. Sacks is trying to imply the numbers are bogus based on what he is hearing in the market.

    Sadly, NO lessons will be learned.

    It’s more likely the legislation will carve out some exceptions than ever admit it is stupid and wrong.
