Why would they do that? The granddaughter of Walt Disney just gave Kamala a blank check. She had stopped giving money to Sleepy Joe Biden. The AFL-CIO union is backing Harris. There are 12 million people in that labor union. Originally Posted by adav8s28The Union is backing Kamala.
I do believe she will be nominated, based on race and gender. Democrats are obsessed with race and gender more than principles or qualifications. She could babble and cackle all day and if you don't like it, you'll be called racist and misogynist. Originally Posted by Clay MediaRacists against Indians? (Dot not feather)
Where do you get your figures. 12 to 15 percent sounds ridiculous. Originally Posted by txdot-guyBecause that's what's realistic.

There is simply no way unemployment is as low as the media reports.

The homeless might be easy to see but you are miscounting their numbers especially compared to the US population as a whole.Unemployment as well as underemployment is higher than you think. You're giving politicians way too much credit. You're only going along with the Media narrative. The Media doesn't report the truth.

the United States, the number of homeless people on a given night in January 2023 was more than 650,000 according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The total population of the US on January 1st 2023.

The US is a big place. Homeless people tend to cluster in large urban communities rather than rural areas. More people are working than you imagine. Originally Posted by txdot-guy

That “underemployment” thing is the big one.There is an element of truth in this post. However I sincerely don’t believe that the republican party has any real policies that can help create better jobs or help people transition to higher wages.
Sure, quite a few people have jobs………..But
They can’t afford to live.
That will make for a great campaign ad…..”Vote Harris, where you get the choice between a place to live, a decent car, or a decent meal. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Because many are not actually actively seeking employment, they are not going to be considered in the unemployment rate... just FYI
