12 If you double 7.8% you're about 3/4 of the way to the real UE rate.

Looks like someone was reading the first thread of the day, eh, LauraW? I did miss the rain until you mentioned it. Yep, it IS a good one, worth sending to all in your address book in case they miss it online.

LauraW, I was SO dismayed to see the removal of your lovely portrait from your Twitter account. You know what they say: If you've got it, flaunt it! What gives?

Just saw this at Ulsterman. More bad news for Ear Leader. "Breaking: CIA Turns on Obama.

If this gets enough hits online.....goes 'viral'.....then, it will give shows on Fox a reason to put it on and talk about it.

So, there's that.

But yes, it needs some national air time.

55 "The kids look like they're afraid to say anything." Another reason why I HATE the new school lunch policy. For families qualifying for free/reduced cost lunch, it is the ONLY full or hot meal the kids get, and now the portions are limited to less than the main meal of the day should have.

68 The real number of jobs added last month according to the normal source of that data was 114K. According to the WSJ yesterday it takes between 200K and 250K to break even based on those same real numbers.

It is easy to see from that that Obama's numbers are pure bullshit. Everyone expected the numbers to go to 8.2%, instead they went down.

But the real numbers are much worse. The published U-6 number is 14.7% (total unemployed). But that is still from the BLS. I would say the actual total unemployment is probably in the 20% range. That is what one economist has said.

Posted by: Vic at October 06, 2012 12:47 PM (YdQQY)

I couldn't help it.

128 68 see my #12
"If you double 7.8% you're about 3/4 of the way to the real UE rate."

My very accurate number is 20.2% based on a number of factors including grocery store current and future stock orders and declining brand choice offerings, durable goods, gasoline, electric and water usage per capita and housing (rent and home equity late payments and defaults)
A panic is beginning to set in as retailers are seeing the purchase power of the middle class decline every month. Metals and plastics distributors have seen orders decline over the last year to the point they are on the verge of unprofitability and do not see the demands created during the first two years of the stimulus returning. Not only that, foreign investors are quickly conglomerating the biggest distributors into MetalsUSA. The bullshit that auto sale are coming back is laughable as the majority of GMs sales were to the taxpayer in fleet sales. Now that money is expended and never going to return.

206 This ad really hit home for me. My husband hasn't had a paycheck in over two years cuz his business isn't doing more than making his employees payroll. We have been living off my income (which went down this year). This economy has been brutal on him. He feels humiliated that he isn't making anything for the 50 hours plus he works per week. I assure him that things will get better after the election but if TFG gets reelected I don't think he can mentally keep up the charade.

he hasn't been able to get a job-except for one where he is making less than a 1/4 of what he made before. Sometimes we use the church food pantry The taxes are so high we are not sure we'll be able to hold on to the house. I actually volunteer at the food pantry and there are people much. much worse off than we are. One guy came in last week in tears because he had never been to a food pantry before. I felt so badly for him. We get more people every week, "Yeah; The private sector is doing fine!!" I pray for all the people affected in this way and there are so many of them.

210 Posted by: Anna Puma (+SmuD) at October 06, 2012 05:29 PM (VJCRJ) If you're having real problems then I would suggest trying a switch to running your computer on Ubuntu or a similar Linux distribution off of a USB flash. It won't touch anything on your hard drive (though you can access anything you want) and you can see if you like it better for what you want to work with. The whole OS is on the flash so you can take it with you and have your same system on any machine. I switched from hard-drive based OSs to flash OS years ago and would never return. Unless there's something you definitely need Microsoft for this would be my recommendation. And if you don't like it you just pull the flash out and your old system is right there, untouched.

231 So I can't just zorch it and put Ubuntu on it. Posted by: Anna Puma (+SmuD) at October 06, 2012 05:36 PM (VJCRJ) But that's exactly my point. If you run the OS off of a USB flash then nothing on your hard drive is touched or changed. NOTHING. If you're interested I'd be happy to help you. The first thing you would do to find out if you "might" like it is to download, say Ubuntu (all free, and I still prefer 10.04), on a bootable disk and boot from that disk. As I said, nothing on your hard drive will be affected but you'll get to see the system and play around a little. You can't do much off of just the boot disk, but that is just to get a feel for things. As I said, nothing on your hard drive will be touched. You will be running the Linux off of the CD or DVD boot disk. If you like it or even want to see hwo to more I'll be happy to help you make a USB flash or run a script to get persistence from the boot CD/DVD. It's all pretty simple, unless you have to go hunting around for it all on your own. Download the free boot disc and check it out. It can't hurt.

Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at October 06, 2012 01:43 PM (X3lox)

232 @Anna So I can't just zorch it and put Ubuntu on it.

That's the nice part of running off a thumb drive. You didn't scorch -anything-, and yet you've at least got a clean OS going. You can 'restore' back to the state you were in by pulling the drive.

The "elago Mobile Nano II USB 2.0 microSDHC" on Amazon (and similar) are small enough that you just don't -care- that you're running off of something other than the internal drive.

Work sporadically at odd jobs. Closed the last business in 2002. It does hurt. I need to sell this huge old house of ours but real estate here has not hit bottom yet and little is selling. If I still had any businesses I'd be sorely tempted to close it, take what I could and hide in the weeds inland.

It reminds me of middle or high school where the Mean Girls or the popular kids choose some unlucky student to focus their abuse on. To me it just looks like picking on cripples. Then they go to Ace or Maet and interrupt THEIR peace with the conflict that THEIR actions accelerated. I'd imagine they'd just claim "I'm just being real, man". Maybe I'm the only one who sees it-

An Article V convention is a great idea, Vic.

But it is a scenario that requires a level of civility and knowledge, that the Left has eroded to the point of being negligible, at this point.

That was their plan.

If we do have 'another civil war'...it will not be civil.

It will be nothing like the one that happened before.

And there will be no one to come to our aid, from foreign agressors who might seize the chance to finally overtake us.

Theoretical question here. If we can modify the Constitution through a convention, could we dissolve it, disband the federal government, and reorganize wheichever states actually have enough in common to justify sharing a country?

Had a discussion with a low information friend who's convinced she's well informed, but doesn't seem to understand why I'd be offended when she keeps talking about changing the channel whenever Paul Ryan is onscreen because she hates him for his position on abortion. Which seems to her to be the only issue of the election.

373 Remember that Obama is just one man. There is only so much one person can do. Posted by: MassHole at October 06, 2012 06:31 PM (P3ww6) 963 Executive Orders (many illegal) and counting. And Barky isn't just one man. He's a protected class, affirmative action object which means that he can do lots and lots of things and never be held to account for any of them. he has committed, literally, tens of clearly and seriously impeachable acts for which NO ONE ELSE would have been let go. But he does them over and over and over and has never even had to hear the word "impeachment" from anyone. This is sheer insanity. The big lesson from the last 4 years is that only the dimmest among us would ever think of handing any power to someone who cannot be held responsible, let alone the most powerful office in the land and the whole of the Executive machinery. That is what affirmative action and white guilt have wrought.

He taught me to hunt and fish for survival reasons.
When I got married, my wife and I frequently raided the penny jar for Friday's supper, and more than a few times the skills my dad taught me put food on the table -- especially during Jimmy Carter's term.

Up until the late 1980's, I was among the majority of people who made a dollar or two too much to qualify for any program (at which point I started making way too much, I'm pleased to announce).

"From FoxxCon and the telemarketers of the Sham Wow, comes the BamaFone!
Just use your EBT to buy this phone and the US government will use Chinese Yuan to pay your bills. Operators are standing by to take your order.

What comes on the BamaFone you ask? Its molded in glossy black plastic with gold accents. It has one ring-tone that starts with 'Let me be clear' and has one wall-paper of Barack Obama. You can surf the Internet with it using the Obama Search Engine, each use can be charged to your EBT and will help pay for Barack Obama to take golfing lessons.

And if you order within the next 24 hours we will throw in a MichelleFone for free! Just pay shipping and handling. This gem comes in a swirly collage of pinks, mauve, and purples. The ring-tone plays 'I am so proud of you for using my phone.' The wallpaper shows Michelle in her garden. The Obama Search Engine works on this phone as well. And there is a recipe book for 100 Arugula Dishes."

Thanks, but, fortunately, I'm back working full time, and loving every single minute of it. When the worst part of my job is having to be up between 4:30 and 5 AM, I consider myself damn lucky to be be where I am. Fortunately for my wife and I, she was fully employed the whole time, and I was able to make use of my underemployment by finally getting my degree 25 years after leaving college, ( not that it actually helped me getting my current employment.) It is such a fantastic feeling being productive again. I think God every night for my good fortune. Yeah, two years of underemployment killed the 401k I had accumulated, but, we were able to keep our house and pay our bills. I feel as though I lost two years of my life, and as a male reaching his late forties, I was beginning to wonder if I was getting to old for the job market.

Being a kid and knowing that your family is about to explode and that your dad can't take care of everything is devastating. Anybody who lived through that will feel a little sick when they see this ad. It needs to be played on TV at prime time every night.
