Highest Unemployment ever?

[Where_r_my_Keys]

He is counting homemakers and retired folks who have no intention or need to look for work as part of an unemployment rate. While that can be done, it is utterly useless in attempting to measure anything useful.

Show me where he is counting 'home-makers'. I do not believe that is the case, as home-makers are employed.

What he is showing is that a significant and growing percentage of the population is living off of declining percentage of the population that is producing.

Such is the case in every culture infected by the Ideas that cause Cultural AIDS: Socialism, the HIV of Ideologies.

Oh!

So your point is to discourage partisanship?

Which would mean that one should abandon their beliefs and join with whom? You?

And this would be because you have no part? And that because you have no part, this sets you superior to someone else?

Please correct me if ANY of this is off the beam.

Here's the thing, I advocate for natural principle. Specifically the natural principle governing human behavior.

You're need to be seen as a moderate, independent of political affiliation, is meaningless to me.

If you advocate for the needs of the collective over the rights and responsibilities of the individual, you're, quite specifically part of the problem and no small measure of it.

Understand?

Homemakers are stay at home spouses, people who stay home while their spouse works.

From the link in the OP:

“Unemployment in its truest definition, meaning the portion of people who do not have any job, is 37.2 percent. This number obviously includes some people who are not or never plan to seek employment."

LPR is the most worthless economic indicator as it is greatly affected by demographics, in this case Boomers retiring.

Employed is defined as working at least one hour for pay or at least 15 hours unpaid in a family business/farm during the reference week. Homemakers are "not in the labor force."

If this were a Republican in the WH the left would be screaming bloody murder about the economy.

And the Repulicans wouldn't.

I'd be saying the same things.
