The economy is continuing trends that had been going on for years and the jobs numbers - although they don't address what kinds of jobs - are also continuing along the same trends they had been following for years. Mainly because the WLB has not had a chance to fuck them up because he's off playing fucking golf. North Korea always acts up when the annual US-SK war games are scheduled but they still have missiles and nukes, ISIS had been on the ropes long before the WLB came along and did nothing and the Supreme Court got another corporation loving fascist to further oppress the poor in the name of the "law."
Scott Adams is a good cartoonist. I would not go to him for surgery.
The economy is doing better, in spite of the GOP and was improving prior to the orange fuckface taking office.
But we are still bleeding off retail brick and mortar jobs. 45 lied also about Carrier, Ford and Boeing. And that fucker also knows coal is not coming back.
The GOP has not and will not address the pay gap, and are trying to double down on the very same horrible economic policies that left us with the Bush Jr triple whammy, car/housing/bank crash.
And how do they perpetuate Reagan's failed trickle down bullshit? Shout "commie" "identity politics" "Its everyone else's fault"... And for what? To protect corporate welfare.
