Sandbox – 16jun22

[Millions of workers are in their hammocks enjoying govt checks and depressing the labor participation rate to 62.3% from 63.4% at the end of Trump’s administration during which time it was increasing for the first time since the 2008 Great Recession.  Yes, during the entire ‘Obama recovery’ more and more people were leaving their jobs.  The participation rate includes worker with jobs and those actively looking for jobs.  This makes the cited 3.6% unemployment rate a hokey statistic; millions more are sitting on their butts enjoying govt handouts while employers are looking for workers and paying excessive wages to those working.  These high labor costs are another one of Biden’s Blunders which contributes to our soaring inflation.  Bumblebrain has given new meaning to ‘loser’. gjr]

More from Ann Coulter about what a fraud Trump is

" Most stunningly, Trump blew off the signature promise of his campaign: the wall. While he was busy sucking up to Wall Street, Kim Kardashian, RINOs, Silicon Valley, the gun-grabbers and illegal aliens, not one mile of wall got built.

He finally got around to the wall his last year in office. Total new wall across a 2,000 mile border completed during the entire Trump presidency: 47 miles.

Yeah, it's a total baffler how a president who spent four years ignoring his base could have lost."

Oh Yeah of course. Mexico was going to pay for the wall-another Trump lie

The 'Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program' was started by Trump and Biden only boosted it a few months. It all ended in Sept which was around 10 months ago. Very week response. Can you do better?

[Paul Emery]

Direct quote fro your link:

Federal unemployment benefit programs under the CARES Act ended on September 4, 2021. You will no longer be paid benefits on the following claim types for weeks of unemployment after September 4:

Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA)
Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC)
Pandemic Additional Compensation (PAC)
Mixed Earner Unemployment Compensation (MEUC)

Note: Federal-State Extended Duration (FED-ED) benefits are no longer payable for weeks of unemployment after September 11.

The federal government does not allow benefit payments to be made for weeks of unemployment after these programs end, even if you have a balance left on your claim. Any pending payments for weeks of unemployment before the expiration of benefits will be processed retroactively if you are found eligible and did not receive conditional payments. You will be notified about what to expect based on your claim type.

Not Brit Nat Health, but Kyrgyzstan Nat Health to the rescue.

"Researchers believe they have discovered the origins of the Black Death, more than 600 years after it killed tens of millions in Europe, Asia and north Africa.

The mid-14th Century health catastrophe is one of the most significant disease episodes in human history. But despite years of research, scientists had been unable to pinpoint where the bubonic plague began.

Now analysis suggests it was in Kyrgyzstan, central Asia, in the late 1330s. They chose the area after noting a significant spike in burials there in 1338 and 1339. Dr Maria Spyrou, a researcher at the University of Tubingen, said the team sequenced DNA from seven skeletons.

They analysed the teeth because, according to Dr Spyrou, they contain many blood vessels and give researchers "high chances of detecting blood-borne pathogens that may have caused the deaths of the individuals".

On another note - though Dr Tony Fauci is said to be quarantining at home, word on the street is that he was seen among a group of oral surgeons on a charter flight to Wuhan. Wonder what he will be doing there?

Median household savings are about $5,300, which will not last long. There are 130M US households averaging 2.6 people/household. If the govt is not helping pay those households for food and lodging through its various programs, then what are they eating and where are they staying out of the cold and rain? The deniers of govt welfare then have to explain how (130M/2)*2.6 = 195 million Americans are making do.

[Bill Tozer]

“George Rebane
Median household savings are about $5,300…”. Hmm. That’s about how much the average household will pay each year more due to inflation. Or was that the individual’s inflation tax? People have been saving up during the pandemic and with extended unemployment benefits. They can surely afford to buy their own food and cover the extra $470.00/month due to the Biden Economic Disaster. Easy peasy. Small businesses and their customers can afford it, right?

BT @ 7:21PM re "A Life Worthwhile"

The author, an economist, left me hanging on his expository article. I was looking for concrete (2+3=5), rather than for a philosophy of how the concept of addition may contribute to integration into a foreign society.

He never used the words 'religion', 'Muslim', or 'black' anywhere in his article, though he does refer to 'Middle East' and 'Africa'. His avoidance of trigger words certainly triggered me.

"Often you will be able to learn these jobs quickly, so long as you have the right character traits, such as self-discipline, social skills, motivation, a good work ethic, perseverance, reliability, and emotional stability." Gosh, those traits sure sound like white European (WASP) traits. It's not clear that he contacted the Middle Easterners and Africans to get their thoughts.

"The challenges and contradictions that arise from extensive social exclusion, and the demands for change that follow from rapid technological development, are politically very difficult to handle." Well, the challenges may have been easier to handle if you left the immigrants in their birth country & be a burden there.

Final review - he has no proposal to convince the immigrants to accede to his thoughts on how they can conform to Swedish life. I fear Sweden is closer to losing control of their country than I thought.

[The Estonian Fox]

EF @5:22 continued

There was one point the author mentions, that I think has merit:

"We should move our focus from today’s one-sided emphasis on redistributive justice versus social mobility. Instead, we should talk about CONTRIBUTIVE (emphasis is mine) justice — that is, the individual’s right to contribute to the common good based on their skills and abilities. For this to happen, our perception of what constitutes a contribution must change. Any salaried job that adheres to national workplace norms should be regarded as valuable and worthwhile."

I'm not sure why our perception of a contribution must change, but the idea of a contribution of/by oneself certainly fits into WASP values. Unless you spit on WASP values of course.

HEADING TOWARD THE ABYSS
In this bracing essay, David Horowitz calls out the Left for what it is–criminal, racist, and sometimes fascist. David argues that conservatives need to understand the utter bad faith with which the Left conducts itself, and stand up bravely to defend our country from the ravages of the Left.

[George Rebane]

re Efox 745am - We have much discussed the greater topic of 'multi-kulti' in these pages as it applies to mass migrations from shithole countries. The west's Left knows that Angela Merkel's final assessment of Germany's experience with open immigration - "Multi-kulti does not work." - is correct, and therefore promotes it as a useful social strategy to weaken western cultures that create wealth and maintain freedoms through the practice of open market capitalism. There is a lot more to be said why it is difficult (impossible?) to establish open market capitalism as a wealth engine in most of today's third world countries.

From Bill’s link…..

Thanks to soon-to-be-former Representative Liz Cheney (RINO-Wyo.), we’ve been hearing a lot about January 6, 2021, lately. But not only was that the day that some of Donald Trump’s supporters traipsed around the Capitol building. It was also, as it turns out, a day that provided a nice contrast between the Trump and the Biden Administrations. I am not thinking about the differences in comportment between the two but energy costs under Donald Trump compared with those costs under Joe Biden. Since Biden seems bent on fulfilling his promise to destroy the coal industry and stop all drilling, it is not surprising that the cost of energy has skyrocketed over the last year. One wag sent around a “Never Forget January 6th” notice listing the prices of fuel on that day in 2021:

Regular gas was $1.99
Premium was $2.14
Diesel was $2.21

Earlier today, I was driving around my town in Connecticut and saw that regular gas was $4.99 9/10 and Diesel was $6.30. In some places in California, gas is flirting with the $10 mark. Maybe Joe wants us all to follow his example and take to the bicycle. His own experience with the machine seems like a metaphor for his entire administration.

[Paul Emery]

Once again Scott you are inferring that none of the RR's were dumb enough to give money to Trumps "Stop the Steal " scam. That's good news if it's true. The fact is that Trumps dumb followers did indeed give him $250- million which is testament to the dumbing down of America that George write about.

[Scott O]

Paul - "Once again Scott you are inferring that none of the RR's were dumb enough to give money to Trumps "Stop the Steal " scam."
Hilarious.
No Paul - I'm telling you to provide evidence of your allegations. And once again, you're full of BS.
But it gives us all a good look into the fantasy land you lefties inhabit. Just 'assume' a reality and when challenged for proof - change the subject or just run away.

[Paul Emery]

Evidence of what Scott? That Trump conned his followers out of 250 million bucks? Hows this from the conservative New York Post:

"Former President Trump and his die-hard allies raised $250 million off their claims the 2020 election was stolen — but most of the funds went toward his newly created Save America PAC rather than to pay for various challenges to Joe Biden’s victory, the House select committee probing last year’s Capitol riot revealed Monday."

https://nypost.com/2022/06/13/trump-raised-250m-off-stolen-election-claim/

[Scott O]

Paul - "Evidence of what Scott?"

Just like your hero Dopey Joe, you can't even remember what you said.

[George Rebane]

There is no evidence that Trump cheated any donors or that a crime was committed, even if the money did wind up in the Save America PAC. What we're hearing here again is the old leftwing shibboleth that their accusations are evidence of guilt.

And it's a mystery why a prima facie assessment of ignorance is bestowed on any citizen who contributes in good faith to a politician's war chest. Perhaps it has to do with the assessor's TDS - any contribution to Trump is on its face dumb. Top notch reasoning.

[Paul Emery]

Miles, of course, would love to personally help the wretched gal, but his priorities are mindlessly bashing those he doesn't like, posting virtue-signalling horse shit and boosting the left-wing policies that drive the cost of living out of reach for the very folks he claims he feels badly about.
Maybe when Mile's fabricated Dickens-type waif gets her mind straight and buys a Tesla, she then wouldn't have to worry about the price of fuel getting around to all those places she works.

[George Rebane]

MilesS 133pm - Miles me lad, you also sound a bit like one of Lenin's lads. It comes, no doubt, as a surprise that businesses are forced to treat labor as a business cost to be minimized, and not as welfare contribution to workers for unearned value. Were that not the case that business people have handled successfully at least since the Industrial Revolution, all those labor-saving devices would not have been invented and produced. And we all would still be hauling our meager stuff in donkey carts, if that. And if businesses could not eliminate excessive wages as a matter of course, you could tell that working mother with three minimum wage jobs to kiss a couple of them good-bye.

BTW, are you also one of those who believes a minimum wage should be a 'living wage' instead of the first step up the economic ladder for unskilled workers? I may be wrong, but you talk like one of those progressive economists of the Warren/Sanders school who learned nothing in Econ 101.

I have never heard of such a thing in my entire life. No agents stayed at the house but Epstein's lawyer was there that night and then the agents came back the next day to collect what was left. Same FBI that had Weiner's laptop because along with sex pervert material they found State Dept emails and yet absolutely nothing was done.

If the choice for school bus driver was limited to Trump and Biden you can be certain that I would choose Trump.

It was so noble when progressives hated lying.....

Also Joe Biden:

Biden makes series of false claims as he addresses labor unions – and gets angry as he slams ‘lies about his reckless spending.’

Joe Biden lied repeatedly about marching in the civil rights movement during first presidential run.

Watch Joe Biden Lie His Ass Off About The Flynn Investigation.

New Photos Show Joe Biden Lied About Knowledge of Hunter’s Foreign Dealings.

Joe Biden Lies About His College & High School Record.

Biden falsely claims Naval Academy appointment.

Joe Biden Repeats the Charlottesville Lie.

And maybe the worst of all: Biden Lied for Years About the Driver Involved in His Wife and Daughter’s Death.

....so noble indeed.

Inflation is a world wide problem. Is Biden responsible for that ? If you follow this link you'll se that we're in the middle of the pack worldwide for inflation rates.

PaulE 1026am - Paul, since you and yours counted Trump's bravura as 'lies' into the thousands, and since now we have a president daily telling lies that are material in both fact and evidence of his mental deficits, would you not then give us a short assessment his performance?

Biden said we have the lowest inflation in the industrial (developed)) world.

5 days ago: ‘Biden gets testy, falsely claims inflation in ‘every other major industrialized country' higher than US’

“If it’s my fault, why is it the case in every other major industrial country in the world that inflation is higher? You ask yourself that? I’m not being a wise guy."

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy pressed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later Thursday to explain Biden’s inflation comments, noting that the U.S. has higher inflation than Germany, France, Japan, Canada, India, Italy and Saudi Arabia.

The latest figures on inflation for these countries indicate the following: Germany at 7.9%, France at 5.2%, Japan at 2.5%, India at 7.04%, Canada and Italy at 6.8%, and Saudi Arabia at 2.2%. Meanwhile, data released last week showed that U.S. inflation rose in May to a four-decade high of 8.6%.”

Was Trump telling the truth when he said to George Sec of State Republican Brad Raffensperger that he won the election by "hundreds of thousands of votes"? Here's is his quote

"“There’s no way I lost Georgia,” Trump said, a phrase he repeated again and again on the call. “There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-raffensperger-call-georgia-vote/2021/01/03/d45acb92-4dc4-11eb-bda4-615aaefd0555_story.html

The Progressive Grievance Parade

“I know this is going to shock you, but it turns out that young, woke progressives are exceptionally hard to work with, and they see each other as hard to work with — in fact, they find each other almost as insufferable and infuriating as we find them. Earlier this month, the Intercept revealed what many of us have long suspected, that having a staff full of outspoken young, woke progressives is making progressive organizations nearly impossible to manage:“

I don't care what Biden said Bill the FACT is that we did not in any way suffer the greatest inflation numbers in the world. We are in the middle-I think around 19 from the highest. Oddly the chart shows that China suffered the most inflation Does that mean we should emulate their methods in achieving that?

re: public education
ONLY MARXISTS NEED APPLY

“Personally, I wouldn’t allow a “teacher” who “understands” those things within 100 yards of one of my kids.

Where does the impetus for this kind of evil come from? Certainly not from parents, students or citizens generally. The extreme left-wingers who orchestrate this kind of revolution without ever having to bring it on for a vote are experts at manipulating bureaucratic processes, always with the complicity of a worthless press.”

Good one BT@ 547

[Paul Emery]

George here's a start. I did google 'Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program'." as you suggested and this is what I got

"To qualify for PUA benefits, you must not be eligible for regular unemployment benefits and be unemployed, partially unemployed, or unable or unavailable to work because of certain health or economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The PUA program provides up to 39 weeks of benefits, which are available retroactively starting with weeks of unemployment beginning on or after January 27, 2020, and ending on or before December 31, 2020."

Of course that was while Trump was President so he signed the bill before Jan 27 2020. He later extended the bill

"Late on December 27 and nearly a week after being passed by Congress, President Trump finally signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the Act) into law. In addition to funding the federal government through the end of September 2021, the Act also allocates $900 billion to COVID-19 relief. Employers will find at least two provisions of the Act particularly interesting: an extension of federal unemployment insurance benefits assistance and tax credits for COVID-19-related leave (but no corresponding mandate to provide COVID-19-related leave)."

So the program you linked me to was originated and extended by Trump not Biden.

https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/president-trump-signs-covid-19-stimulus-13080/

Also try googling"'Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program'." as you recommendex I do and you'll se lots of information showing Trump originated and extended the program.
