People foolishly say Trump gave the Norcoms nothing when he's foolishly curtailing joint military exercises with SK

U.S. to end large-scale military drills with South Korea:

Word of the planned announcement comes less than 48 hours after a summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un came to an abrupt end with no agreement. Trump said afterward that the annual military drills with South Korea were "very, very expensive" and the government in Seoul should pay more for them. ... “That’s not good alliance management," Klingner said. “We didn’t get anything in return. North Korea did not codify their missile test moratorium, nor do they agree to any constraints on their own military operations.”

Actually it was in 2010, but hey, that was like forever ago.

People 55-64 forced out of the labor force since 2000 is up 49.5%, more than any other age demo

In 2018 over 37 million people age 25-64 were not in the labor force.

Not only did they have no jobs, they were not even counted as unemployed because they were not counted as part of the labor force either.

They literally do not count.

Here are the average millions in 2018 by age tranche who are not in the labor force:

25-34:   7.81 million

35-44:   6.95 million

45-54:   7.93 million

55-64: 14.76 million

65+:     41.25 million.

Approximately 32.2 million of these people do not yet qualify for Social Security, including 9.5 million of whom are 55-61.

And if you want to know why young people are living in their parents' basements in their 20s, you have your answer: Business has not hired the young and inexperienced and has fired the old and higher paid.

Nothing personal, right? Just business.

Effing libertarians.

For people who ought to be working, the rate of dropping out has been twice as high as the rate of joining in since 2000

And how can there be a labor shortage when population is increasing at a rate faster than assimilation to working?

Shut the borders! Turn off the immigration spigot!

The m/o of business since the Great Recession has been not to hire the young and to fire the old

Yes, yes they do

Michael Cohen to Cuomo in 2016: Certainly hoped to go into Trump's administration

New House lefties tell moderate Democrat Blue Dogs and Republicans to STFU, just like lefty social media deplatforms the right, threaten primarying and draconian rule changes

House Democrats explode in recriminations as liberals lash out at moderates:

[T]he [Democrat] party's moderates - many of them freshmen taking their first congressional votes ... insist that they are not going to be dissuaded from voting with their districts, and many are warning that majority control is at stake."It's this class of members that got elected that are the reason we have the majority," said Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., a co-chairwoman of the moderate Blue Dog Coalition. "Many of them come from these (moderate) districts, and their promise to their constituents was that they were going to put people over politics."

Boomers, Miller, when the players cheered up the cheerleaders

Growth of GDP in the last eleven years is now officially worse than in the Great Depression

What amounts to the second estimate of Q4GDP is out today, and the calendar year 2018 figure is just 2.9%

2016: 1.6%

2017: 2.2%

2018: 2.9%

America has not had a 3.0% real GDP or better year since 2005 . . . fourteen years ago.

Pathetic. Disgusting. An indictment of the policies of both political parties and of American business.

No jobs, no hope, no America I once knew at all.
