#1 All that economic destruction so someone could make that stupid little graph.

#2 BLS data due 830 Friday.

The past 6 months, the BLS has reported fewer job gains than the ADP survey and by several hundred thousand in some months. So I wouldn't be surprised to see a much different result

#4 I'm super impressed with the decision to claim a modest 200k increase and any disparaging numbers are due to people taking a couple weeks off for sniffles and quarantine.

Now they look off by a cool half million, which even the dunderheads and tru-believers know is way outside a rounding error, and everyone who has had to take a sick leave is like, "That isn't how it works."

#7 Cybersecurity too. Huge demand, not enough qualified people.

Man ever time I see a ransomware attack on some company the details show what a fuckup their cybersecurity is.

#8 Jen Psaki is already dancing. She said it's because 9 million people were out sick. She really thinks we are all stupid.

#9 What's funny is that the rig companies are DESPERATE for people right now. Every rig company I know is trying to hire people.

#13 Some peoples' position on anything is whatever the media and / or some celebrity tells them it should be. That's what's keeping the number from being higher.

#16 Chain of succession nightmares

If only there were a way to impeach all of them at once. Economies of scale and all that.
