America continues in decline, undershooting its potential by 13 million full-time jobs

Full-time employment in June 2021 in the US, not seasonally adjusted, was 48.7% of civilian noninstitutional population. The average level had been 50.4% in 2019, historically anemic. That's a deficit of 4.6 million full-time jobs in June 2021 compared with the 2019 average.

 

If you can imagine full-time employment at 53.6% of civilian noninstitutional population as in the year 2000, you are talking about 140 million with full-time jobs today instead of the actual 127 million. America continues in decline undershooting its potential by 13 million full-time.

 

Sad!

 

 

48.7% June 2021

LOL, Florida ranks 44th for daily new cases of coronavirus: What happened? Is everyone on vacation for five days in a row, or was the counting office in the condo collapse?

 

 

You don't go from reporting 1,800 cases a day, day after day, and suddenly have zero for five days in a row.

By comparison the US is experiencing a flood, but we're cutting loose even though new cases per million in the US registers a rate 30x worse than in Australia.

June 2021 to date is 2nd rainiest June ever in Grand Rapids, MI, and one of just 23 months since 1892 with 8 inches of rain or more, ranking 14th so far

June 2021 to date is the 14th rainiest month in Grand Rapids, MI, since 1892:

 

Jun 1892: 13.22

Sep 1986: 11.85

Apr 2013: 11.10

May 2001: 10.01

Oct 2017:  9.69

May 2000: 9.59

Sep 2008:  9.54

Sep 1981:  9.52

May 2004: 9.29

Sep 1961:  9.15

Jul 1992:   8.83

Aug 1987: 8.46

Jul 1950:   8.42

 

Jun 1-26, 2021: 8.40

 

Oct 1954: 8.32

Apr 1909: 8.29

May 1981: 8.29

Jun 1967: 8.21

Sep 1993: 8.20

Sep 1915: 8.11

Jul 1994: 8.07

Jun 2010: 8.04

Jun 1928: 8.03.

 

Among the 23 months with 8 inches of rain or more in Grand Rapids, MI, since 1892, June 24-26, 2021 stands out as one of just five 2-3 consecutive day rain events with 5.5 inches or more:

May 10-11, 1981: 6.51 inches of rain

Sep 9-11, 1986:    6.43

 

Jun 24-26, 2021:  6.17

 

May 14-16, 2001: 5.97

Jul 5-7, 1994:       5.54.

 

74% of the 23 months with 8 inches of rain or more in GR occurred after 1960, consistent with the higher rainfall trend generally in the graph below.

 

The June 2021 event caused a run on portable submersible pumps needed by homeowners to evacuate pooling water in low areas and basements due to saturated ground. Flood warnings remain in effect for the area through Monday.

 

Even so, Grand Rapids is still running over 2 inches behind on mean rainfall year-to-date.

 

June 26, 2021 ranks 7th for daily maximum rainfall on a single day in June since 1892 at 2.81 inches.

 

The most rain ever to fall on a single day in Grand Rapids is 4.22 inches, occurring on June 5, 1905 and again on August 19, 1939. Those extreme events are associated with the hotter, dryer pre-1960 half of the graph.

 

Mean annual daily maximum precipitation in GR is 2.27 inches, with June ranking the highest month at 1.29, followed by September at 1.26.

 

 

Flood watches, flood warnings, and rain, oh my!

Heat watches, heat warnings, and wind! Oh my!

COVID-19 trends in England in the last month are not encouraging despite being one of the top three or four countries in the world for vaccinations

Cases per million are up 560% since May 23.

Hospitalizations are up 64%. As a measure of severity of illness, this increase is damning for authorities everywhere who keep insisting that vaccinations will reduce severity.

Deaths per million, while still puny, are up 175%.

All this with 47% fully vaccinated, 64% with one dose.

Let's compare what happened to cases in India after vaccinating just 3.6% of its population against C19 with what happened in the US with just 3.6% vaccinated

TL;dr : The same thing.

India reached 3.6% fully vaccinated against C19 on about June 19th.

India's cases per million metric fell 83% from its May 8th peak to June 18th (from 283.5 to 48.07).

Vaccines had nothing to do with the drop.

The US reached 3.6% fully vaccinated against C19 way back on Feb 12th.

US peak cases per million occurred about a month before that, on about Jan 8th, at 758.56.

On Feb 12th cases per million had fallen to 293.61, or by 61%.

Vaccines had nothing to do with it.

Daily new cases of COVID-19 have plunged in India 82% from peak with just 3.5% of the population fully vaccinated to Jun 17

Barely 15.5% of the population of India is vaccinated with at least one dose.

John Kass, like most normie conservatives, suffers from Just You Wait Syndrome

Here:

Will there come a day when fed-up Americans push back against all this stuff? Yes.

How long have I been hearing that one? My whole life?

Normie conservatives like Kass are hope peddlers little different from the utopians of the left, little different from those Christians who keep falsely predicting the Second Coming of Christ, heralds all of a future which never comes, or of one which at best miserably disappoints.

From time to time the hope of the left does become reality, but incrementally and dimly reflective of the real thing, now pallid in appearance (the New Deal), now grotesque as the case may be (happy Birthing Person Day), while the hope of the right never so much as impedes this interminable process slouching leftward.

The normie right never asks itself why this is so, why conservatism is so impotent.

The answer is the left has a stronger faith than the right. It is why the left is in the streets burning the place down and the right just sits on its hands.

How different were the people of the American founding era, who saw no contradiction with their religion in taking up arms against an unbridled king. Today's conservatives are the loyalists of the founding era, hiding in their homes lest the unbridled find them out.

America today has been turned on its head. Secular faith has replaced religious faith. Down is Up, Left is Right, Evil is Good, Bondage is Freedom. America is the Crown of 1776, ripe for a counterrevolution.

Shall it be prevented?

Americans like Thomas Jefferson called for watering the tree of liberty from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

By their fruit ye shall know them.

Meanwhile, the bobble-headed bleach blonde Ann Coulter lurches in Charles Murray's direction

 Any which way to stay in the game, the ka-ching ka-ching ka-ching game, not to be confused with conservatism.

 

Run for your lives: It's Charles Murray who is having the identity crisis, not America

Identity crisis: how the politics of race will wreck America:

The American experiment is fragile. It has always been fragile and always will be fragile because it is so extremely unnatural. ‘Unnatural’ in this context means in conflict with human nature. Jonah Goldberg has described the fragility of the American system by comparing it to a garden hacked out of a tropical jungle. A garden surrounded by jungle is unnatural. The gardeners must tend it with unremitting care lest the jungle return.

More. 

What's unnatural is Murray's perennial insistence that America was not a real nation where Englishmen revolted because they were denied their "chartered rights", who hoped to secure that nation "to ourselves and our posterity" as our Constitution says. Whether one believes their claim was legitimate or not is irrelevant to the history. An America populated as a nation by Englishmen who made that argument is a fact and shows they were a nation in their own minds, and nothing the left libertarians can say will ever change that, try as they may.

That opening sentence simply begs the question. You are asked to believe something else, that the first Americans didn't actually behave as a tribe whose members were loyal to each other and didn't already have a long history together before 1776. Which of course is ridiculous.

The violence done to this original American idea by libertarians, Lincoln and his worshippers, liberals, leftists, and other assorted lunatics is what is unnatural. It's they who have the identity crisis. They don't fit in here because our institutions survive from the founding and constantly remind them that they are misfits. They represent the foreign element, and usually are the main advocates for increasing the foreign element.

Instead give me millions upon millions of Italian Americans like Antonin Scalia who bowed to America as an Anglo Saxon nation, instead of this horde of harpies for every heresy.
