💪🏼U.S. employers added a surprisingly robust 353,000 in January, a further sign of economic strength. Last month’s job gain topped the 333,000 that were added in December, and the rate stayed at 3.7%, just off a half-century low -ABC 💪🏼

Gaslighting people into believing everything's fine is not the winning strategy you think it is.The reason why people believe the economy is shit is because the cost of living is still out of control, and the rate of homelessness is growing. Things are pretty bleak for working class people. Nobody wants to hear "no no guys, the economy's fine. Look! Mcdonald's is hiring more than ever!"

If you really care about getting reelected, could you please stop going on about how "healthy" the is?

We are still dealing with a massive crisis and mass layoffs in many industries due to corporate greed and

The truth of the matter is the health of economy does not reflect the health of the which is in terrible shape. All I see when some article wants to tout about the economy doing well is "Look how much richer he's made the 1%."

Look who's touting .

Via Victor Shi:

Wow. A Fox anchor, Larry Kudlow, just said on Fox, “I was wrong about the slowdown and the recession. Everyone was wrong.” This is the truth. There is no recession. There is no slowdown. Our economy is strong & booming because of President Biden. Period. Be loud & proud.

Everyone is broke and the rate of homelessness is growng, and you think its a good image to tout how good the economy is doing?

All this tells me is that the health of the working class is no longer a factor in the health of the economy.

I honestly DGAF how much richer he's made the one percent when I'm trying my best to keep my friend off the street.

Democrats really do suck at messaging.

    Ohio Pastor Charged for Opening Church to Homeless People in Freezing Weather. Hospitality to poor, homeless people is at the basis of Christianity. I do not hold with Christianity in general, but I do admire that part of it. Many Christians, by contrast, disdain that part. People have noted the irony of seeing Christians worshiping an ancient homeless refugee family and being so cruel to refugees and homeless people today.

    News sites talking about how “strong” the is feels a lot like the Emperors New Clothes.

    Maybe I’m just too dumb or ignorant to see it, or maybe I’m broke, my friends are broke, the shelter that I volunteer at is overwhelmed, and I’m tired of being told how great things actually are by people in suits.

    The real AI threat isn’t intelligent machines wanting to oppress us; it’s governments and companies rolling it out against us.

    A lot of people on the political left are angry or dismayed with Joe Biden, but they need to keep in mind that on almost any issue Trump's position is far worse than Biden's.

    You don't have to like Biden, but he is at least willing to have a conversation. Trump will not only refuse it, he will arrest you for asking.

    Some good takeaways from this essay by a former leftist opponent of Lyndon Johnson on what he learned from Richard Nixon winning in 1968: https://www.salon.com/2023/11/19/when-a-liberal-goes-to-war-lessons-of-the-lbj-era-are-relevant-today/

    @mattsheffield You’re really going to whitewash LBJ as a way of making Biden look good? I think what I hate the most about democrats is that they ride the legacy of their success while doing their best to bury their past. Let us be reminded that the democrats didn’t “give” the people civil rights. They were in fact some of the most unrelenting opponents to equality and desegregation, and what they did manage to get came at great cost to those who fought for them.
