When you kill jobs and give people an incentive not to work, unemployment goes up.

Daily reminder that the last vote Joe Biden took in his 38 year Senate career was to authorize a federal bailout program which would pay his son’s investment firm $130,000,000
It was a very competitive program.
...And Hunter Biden’s firm was only 3 weeks old

When you let a pandemic run out of control from March to November, unemployment goes up in January.

That gap doesn't sound enormous, but from what I've read that gap is the difference between herd immunity and not herd immunity.
How this works out in the real world no one knows, esp since the two groups share some of the same common space. But it does show how gaps appear in national health stats...like why rich people live longer than poor people. It's not just availability of health care. It's bad choices. The vaccine is free, HS grads! Free! Get it and save lives!

That doesn't sound very left-wing of you.
Free will doesnt exist according to the fringes on both left and right.

Great thing Biden cut tens of thousands of jobs on his first day while the US has been experiencing the highest unemployment numbers in 20 years.

That 793K number is down from the previous several weeks.
Last year we had 19 straight weeks of over 1 million initial unemployment claims.
And there were over a million claims in the first full week of January last month.
Are you really trying to disparage Biden by showing a positive employment trend?

If you are talking about Biden axing the Keystone XL pipeline, it wasn't tens of thousands of jobs.
And yes, it was a great thing.

I prefer getting rid of oil, especially filthy tar sands oil.
right, no oil or plastic in your life then? just slaves digging rare metals?
Can you imagine being a big enough moron to post this and not recognize unemployment claims for the preceding few measurement periods were, in fact, higher...
Unbelievable levels of cognitive dissonance, stupidity, whatever you want to call it. Truly embarrassing dude.

It didn't get rid of it. In fact, it will likely have the effect of increasing demand for it. Combined with the drilling moratoriums and likely fracking bans, oil prices will go up, which will make it more economic for producers to use more of lower yield sources across the globe while simultaneously increasing profits in places like Russia, Middle East, Africa and Venezuela. The oil will just be put on freighters going through the great lakes or on trucks. Unlike the pipeline, demand will not go down over night (people don't buy a new car every year and air travel will pick back up with a vengeance once more of the public gets vaccinated).
It's worth remembering that Obama's actions on coal didn't due anything to decrease global coal consumption. It simply moved manufacturing jobs to non-regulated nations like China and India where coal consumption went through the roof.

Coal consumption in the US is down. Coal production in the US is down.
We are getting rid of oil and coal. Therefore, it doesn't make sense to build new infrastructure for it.
Boomers are obsessed with fossil fuels. I don't get it. They pollute, they kill people who mine them, they warm the earth, they just suck.
All change is BAD Sent from my iPhone.

We need responsible mining and as little fossil fuel burning as possible.
I don't care about my own life. I'll be fine. I want humans to continue to thrive on this planet for many generations.

As long as it passes environmental review (as it did), it's up to businesses to decide whether or not it makes sense. It's absurd to stop it by presidential executive order.
so what do you think, anti-trump vets?
have the trumpists landed any punches on Joe yet?
Obvi no one wants a lot a executive orders so that's something. Although he was just undoing Trump's EOs so not a huge deal in my book. Although he will be pillaried for generations for it unfairly.
Is smoke coming out of the Trumpists' ears? Are they crying? They don't seem to be.
I cant' think of much serious Joe has done wrong. Certainly his approval rating is fine, suggesting people are generally content with his admin so far. Very early days tho.
