found a great chart to show the precarious nature of our job market, if you discount healthcare we are actively net negative jobs
1770838537370.png

those jobs aret doctors and surgeons for the most part but hospice workers or payment managers.

also for those that dont know our job reporting numbers are more or less lies at first that get revised down, this is not a joke or conspiracy, ill show you from the article from AP TODAY

so all those "great numbers" they reported last year? its a third of that and may be revised down more. (this is due to the inaccurate reporting of jobs, companies have to report the gains and losses and they have been increasingly bad at that)

meanwhile we have 4 million people being added to the labor market every year

its a bleak picture but its a slow burn so it wont be "felt" for many more years but if your starting down the issue as a young person, especially young white male, they only want you for the most backbreaking soul crushing labor jobs or taking care of old people you dont know.

Listen stud, i'd be fine with Bondi and Patel getting lined up by a firing squad on the white house lawn. Both of them are literal the worst part of the admin, maybe huckabee is a little worse, MAYBE. but he's an ambassador, that's a nothing role for nobodies. Time is running out for Trump to fix this shit before midterms and he shows no sign of being willing to do what needs to be done, sadly. Why the FUCK trump hasn't empowered an investigation into the epstein stuff is beyond me.

I'm just furious over the Catholic lady that got fired earlier today, i'm not really in a good place to talk about any of this without devolving into endless jew sperging.

At this point the only option is to give up on this administration. The morale is gone and Trump is doing literally fucking nothing to fulfill his campaign promises. America becoming a communist shithole by 2030 is a foregone conclusion.

Does anyone have the image about how TPTB are purposefully holding back wokeness to give the right the illusion of winning and making progress for their cause?

A lot of jobs are fake. They were created by businesses because it showed growth if they needed to hire more people which is good for the stocks I guess. Among other fuckery. That is starting to see diminishing returns so those positions are going away.

Lots of "diversity manager" type positions are likely being axed and it's making things look worse than they are. Then there is of course the teeth gritting from companies now having to appeal to American workers rather than paying some spic under the table or getting an h1b (this is both for reasons of them wanting to have lower costs, but also the ethnic nepotism that has become an issue as well).

Can you imagine what would've happened had Hillary been president during it? If they had mail in fake voting in 2016 she most certainly would've won and then talk about national socialism...

I could honestly see her and others around her strangling the SJW movement while it was still in its younger years once its usefulness came to term when she got elected and just back to a pre 2010’s status quo of mediocracy.
 
My van is on it's last legs and my fucking God the prices on even substandard used shit are completely insane.

I genuinely may become a single issue voter on affordability.

I have a challenge for you. Post one positive thing about the current admin.

I feel like we need to arrange a parley with the left and just get on the same page

"none of us are happy about the Epstein shit, its CLEAR there is guilty people on both sides here. If we want ANY action we are going to have to each swallow a tough pill"

"full pardon for trump but we prosecute Bondi and Patel along with all the actual ricch an powerful people found on the list, we get no progress otherwise"

IDK we might have to offer a Clinton pardon to just to grease the wheels

thoughts?

It really doesn't matter because they will go after everyone anyway so they don't need to make a deal. All Bondi's inaction and mockery has done is eroded trust in Trump's admin for potential voters.

The recent release of evidence is causing significant damage to the people running the UK, although at this point it's just speeding up the inevitable.

Other than that, the whole affair was destined to be gristle for simpletons and grandstanders to gnaw on. Anyone who thought that this was going to lead to some kind of system-smashing revolution deserves to be smirked at & talked down to as they cry all over their Rage Against the Machine CDs.

Freight is up nationally, which typically precedes big job gains: IMG_3403.jpeg
While freight in SoCal is trending downward, indicating that imports are not a factor:

Pretty bullish signs!
 
I wish people would stop grandstanding and pretending to give a shit about the Epstein files. They had this shit known all the way back when Obama and Clinton were President, yet they did fucking nothing. They knew it when Biden was President, yet they did fucking nothing. And now you want to sit here and tell me suddenly that you somehow give a shit because Donald Trump is in the White House? Fuck off. This is why I can't take any talk of "protecting the victims" seriously, because, well, honey, sometimes victims LIE. Again. None of this shit should be taken seriously by anyone, because this has been in government hands long enough to be fucked with, and I'm sick of seeing people just blanket believing everything that comes out now.

A little cheat code 4 u. Look up government, company, police, etc auctions. They typically have the VIN available, and if so ask the nearest dealer for the maintenance records. You can then take a stab as to whats wrong with the car and if its in decent condition but just being cycled out due to age.
Another idea is estate auctions that have cars available, and you may be able to do a similar strat especially if the car only ever had 1 owner. Have got multiple good condition cars for under 6k, my current SUV was only 3k with 125k and a broken AC.
