As the figures I cited show, there were more people working despite the retirements of baby boomers until the covid pandemic hit. New data shows long Covid is keeping as many as 4 million people out of work https://www.brookings.edu/research/new-data-shows-long-covid-is-keeping-as-many-as-4-million-people-out-of-work/ And the numbers are climbing again. https://www.statista.com/statistics/209123/seasonally-adjusted-monthly-number-of-employees-in-the-us/

No new net jobs created? https://www.statista.com/statistics/191750/civilian-labor-force-in-the-us-since-1990/ What's your source for your claims?

More nonsense. Joe Biden was carrying out the policy of the United States and the European Union. when he was vice-President. And at the time that prosecutor was notoriously corrupt and defending the corrupt ruling class. This made giving aid extremely problematic. As for Desantis, it's funny how someone who gets so incensed about illegal immigrants has no problem in screwing over his fellow Americans.

I got bad news for you. Someone has hacked into your account. They posted a video as evidence and and wrote this "I found this interesting, the stuff lefties don't like to listen too, or one here who will not watch videos for some strange reason." I'll just quote it in its entirety below. So you can see for yourself what this hacker has done in your name.

So employing a columnist means that the editorial board agrees with everything they advocate? And, of course, what makes this kind comment so particularly clueless is that it has to assume that she is the columnist who speaks for the Guardian. And all the other columnists who aren't Communists don't? What makes it even slightly more ridiculous (because how much more ridiculous can it be?) is that she hasn't even contributed an article in 3 years..

It's reasons, not reason, and they're not strange. For one, time consuming. Why sit through something that most likely will turn out to be nonsense? For another, most of us aren't dyslexic or illiterate. Put it in writing. The reason that the right is so fond of vidoes is that, unlike the written word, they're a lot harder to fact check. Or maybe it's just that dyslexia and illiteracy run rampant in those quarters.

That is a great point. I hope the media make that a prominent issue.

First off, you ignore the point that most of the Republican House and Senate members voted against giving aid to the Northeast. So it's not just about Biden, or even mainly about Biden. As for Biden, please share with us these examples and how they compare to withholding emergency aid in the wake of a disaster. If you haven't got nothing, you've got next to nothing. And there's also the previousladministration's shameful treatment of Puerto Rico after the disaster that was Hurricane Maria.

As climatologists have predicted, due to human caused global warming, hurricanes are becoming increasingly more powerful.

I don't think the Democrats are going to hold aid as hostage. As I've remarked elsewhere, this is an opportunity to expose what a lowlife Desantis is by comparing his denial of aid in the wake of Hurricane Sandy to what the Democrats' response will be to this disaster.

And so was the Northeast after Hurricane Sandy. Desantis voted against that. As did most Republican members of the House and Senate.. What a bunch of lowlifes.

It's heading to South Carolina. It's expected to land shortly as a Category 1 Hurricane.

I've read your posts. They're not about entertainment value. If that were the case, you wouldn't so clearly have picked a side.

It's because many people have died and many are in distress that this is exactly the right time to raise the issue. There's a vote coming soon and it's important for voteers to know the kind of people they'll have to choose from. Those who turn their backs on their fellow Americans when they're down or those who turn towards them to help. As I noted before: a teachable moment. Prissiness about unpleasantess is just an excuse for not facing facts about the debased nature of the Republcan party.

Please. You managed to contribute extensively to threads about American politic The fact is, what the Republicans did is morally indefensible and you've just go no way to defend it.

It's going to be a pretty weak argument unless they've got some evidence that so far hasn't been revealed. I personaly have no doubt that Trump was delighted by the insurrection and intended to incite it, but there just isn't enough there to support the Oath Keepers claims. Trump played them as he has played the entire MAGA movement.

Why? Aid will flow to the people who need it whether Democrats point out how vile the Republicans have been or not. This is what's called a teachable moment. Do you think the Republicans deserve some sort of amnesty for what they did? Or maybe you believe that they did nothing wrong at all?

Whereas the hard right is suffused with love for those who disagree with them?

I don't think so. Do you think it's insignificant that the Democrats will behave oppositely to the Republicans when their fellow citizens are in distress? I think the Republicans should be called to account for their vile actions. And before an election is a great time to do it. That will outline a huge difference between the 2 parties.

And Governor DeSantis is asking the Federal government for emergency aid. This is the same guy who voted against emergency aid for the Northeast when Hurricane Sandy wreaked terrible damage there. As did 178 other Republicans in the House.. I hope Biden and other Democrats remind Floridians of this when they push for assisting Florida as most, if not all, surely will.

If this is a recession, it's an awfully strange one.

I didn't ask for an example. I asked for proof that the Guardian was Communist. That would entail supporting the abolition of private property and a government takeover of the means of production. What in their editorial stance supports your allegation? To claim that 1 Communist columnist out of so many means a publication is communist says a lot about the politics of a person making such an allegation and nothing at all about the target of them. You've got nothing.

So a single columnist speaks for the Guardian? Isn't the point of having columnists to provide a range of opinions? Are all the Guardian columnists Communists? Half? One quarter? A few?

Thank you for letting us know that the Guardian is a communitst publication. I haven't seen where they have advocated for the abolition of private property and a government takeover of the means of production. We can agree that sources are crucial. Therefore, could you please direct me to your source for this allegation?

Presumably, they are protected from being drafted.
