Pay based on experience or no mention of pay still zero calls. Only way to get guys now is to poch them from other crews .

Snake Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 With news on the disappointing April jobs report out of the way, the crew at CNS News did some digging and found some pretty fantastical, pre-jobs report headlines from mainstream media news outlets that were difficult to distinguish from an official White House press release. Here’s what they found: – Axios (5/3/21): “A Jobs report for the ages” – Reuters (today, before the report was released): “U.S. economy likely created nearly a million jobs in April” – CNBC (4/29/21): “April jobs expected to top 1 million as consumers boost the economy” – MarketWatch (5/6/21): “A million new jobs? That’s how many Wall Street thinks the U.S. created in April” – Barron’s (5/6/21): “Get Ready for a Blockbuster Jobs Report of 1 Million or More” – New York Times (5/7/21): “Jobs Report Is Expected to Show a Big Gain: Live Updates” Bonus prediction: – NYT columnist Paul Krugman (5/6/21): “All indications are that we’re headed for the fastest year of growth since the ‘Morning in America’ boom of 1983-1984. What’s not to like?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 South Carolina is opting out as well. $387. That's how much the average American receives from their state in weekly unemployment payments, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which rises to $687 with the federal boost. Based on a 40-hour workweek, that means the average unemployed American is getting the equivalent of $17.17 an hour—more than twice the federal minimum wage.

Best to do it with some controll of the situation as apposed to what is going to happen. He'll I would be happy it they just cut 1/2 he'll 1/4 would be a nice start.

Anyone of you Trump morons want to take a shot at this? John Keynes thought government spending might be 6% with occasional spikes to 10% to ward off peaks and crashes in the economy. What are we at now 30+%? Care to take a stab at what we need the extra 20% for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the world still spinning then ? What do you think is going to happen at the pace we are on ? Do you think this will just go on forever ? I see this ending only 1 way and then we will see how crazy cutting spending by 20 30 or 40% a decaded before would have been. So yeah don't do it now when folks can absorb it make sure we just keep rolling forward till it all completely crashes and the China buys us for 2 cents on the dollar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
