Happy Cat

I feel like I am crazy. Did he not already get called on doing this before and then just said: “I need to because I’m President.”

So far as I know, gig work is not counted in the data, meaning driving for delivery apps, etc. So they probably dropped from the tracked economy into the gig economy.

I was wrong, see below comment

Some may also have pursued further education in some form.

Seperately, considering the adjustment downward for literally every months data following it’s release, you can probably assume even the slight gain in employment this month will be adjusted down to a loss overall in a month or two.

“Aw shucks, sometimes you just don’t win guys. But boy oh boy they really gave him a hard time before nothing came of it huh? They really totally tried so hard guys. I will remember them fondly and vote for them going forward!!”

Another meanless “written commitment” extracted from people proven to lie. Maybe worse than the other useless habit of writing strongly worded letters in the “No we totally tried guys” category.

The bipartisan package allows the president to impose tariffs on the world’s top five purchasers of Russian oil or natural gas, including China and India. It provides exceptions for countries that import less than 15% of their natural gas from Russia and are taking steps to reduce those imports.

Allows but does not require.

The legislation also includes sanctions on Putin, senior Russian political and military leaders, Russian financial institutions and Russian energy projects. It would expand U.S. sanctions to target older, reflagged oil tankers that Russia uses to circumvent existing U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and energy revenues. The bill also allows the White House to waive sanctions or restrictions if the president certifies to Congress that it’s in the national interest.

And also allows him to undo any of the stuff he doesn’t get a say over directly.

Very cool!

I have no doubt he will use it as an excuse to further fracture our global power and image in attempts to extort easy wins, personal wealth, or both.

But I do approve of increased support for Ukraine and am thankful there has been progress, atleast in messaging, from the right toward Ukraine.

Also

Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., who had held up passage of the package over the tariff authority, said he received a written commitment from the Trump administration through U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer that ensures guardrails. The tariffs would be lifted once the countries are no longer on the lists of those purchasing Russian oil and gas, or helping to evade sanctions, he said.

Guys it’s fine.

I said IT’S FINE. HE GOT A WRITTEN COMMITMENT.

Begging you to explain what you mean by “same moderation period we’re seeing with Mormons”.

(I realize that statement generally expresses criticism but in this case I am just very genuinely curious to hear your thoughts)

Aware of the early days of the religion trying to basically declare their sovereignty as a nation but not sure that’s what you’re talking about in context.

I knew they worshipped the same God, but finding out that Islam also affirms the vast majority of the life of Jesus and his place with-in the larger theological framework just makes me infinitely more upset there is nothing small enough humans won’t literally kill each other over it.

Was honestly very confused how this could have performed quite so terribly until I read there was also a section that would’ve taken away the people’s right to approval of sales tax hikes and that makes a lot more sense.

Honestly, I voted for El-Sayid and I barely remembered they were yesterday.

Knew when it was and was keeping track, telling people to go vote. Woke up on the day and only remembered when I saw an article about the pivotal election in Michigan that day and ran down to my polling place before work.
