CNN never fails. No celebration that the unemployment rate fell or that over 2 million Americans got jobs.

Anyone paying attention knows there was an opportunity for some different kinds of service jobs during this lockdown. Home deliveries increased dramatically. Not necessarily lifetime jobs, but enough to get by for younger, single people.

How did he take a victory lap if the presser hasn’t even started?

In my opinion, the type of job is irrelevant. A job is a job or as the saying goes; do what you can until you could do what you want.

CNN will undoubtedly attempt to ignore this report and focus upon the riots instead. They are nothing more than an extension of the Dem party after all.

Yes...I was hearing about people making tons of money from the tips due to surge in restaurant and grocery delivery services.

It’s really bad news for any of the riot planners who shorted the market.

Market is up 730 points this morning. And it’s been up every day this week. Anyone with pre-knowledge of the riots who tried to monetize it, got obliterated.

STUPID
I-45 project will shorten commutes, but may force many to find new homes (links)
TxDOT’s $7 billion project to widen I-45 can potentially relocate more than 1,000 homes and 340 businesses.

The project will rebuild I-45 from downtown Houston north to Beltway 8, and change how it connects with other downtown freeways. That means rebuilding — by removing — pieces of Fifth Ward, the Northside, Acres Homes and Aldine.

The latest estimates show the rebuild would impact 158 houses, 433 apartments or condos, 486 public housing units, 340 businesses, five churches and two schools.

He needs to address and do something about the great divide, define the issues (ISSUE) of this insurrection, exactly who the different players are and why they are involved (facts), what has to be done to end it - AND THEN END IT!

HE WOULD THEN WIN IN NOV NO DOUBT!

But if he keeps talking about winning economy now with just wall street jobless numbers while this other sh*t still going on it looks as if there is a DI CONNECT - and there is! This violence in there dem cities and states has to be fixed or these other things still won’t matter and fast!

I hate for him to have to send in the military - so so many possible way for that to fall / fail back on him! But someone HAS to take decisive action in a big way! This is simmering away!

I don’t know.

I was actually considering shorting the market prior to the riots.

But then the riots happened and I was hoping it went up and crushed anyone with pre-knowledge of the riots that shorted the markets. So I backed off. Got my wish.

I’m mostly on the sidelines.

I took back a little cash a few days ago, but I’m still ahead of where I was at the peak. It seems amazing to me.

Great, but Trump can’t win on the economy alone. He has to connect with the voters— as Ronald Reagan did. Angry tweets responding to Democrat garbage won’t do this.
