But I was told we lived in an economic hellscape where the living envy the dead.

This is a GREAT jobs report right before the election! Couldn't have asked for better!

1. Inflation is also expected to be 2.3% in September

That’s down from 2.5% in August. We should know the data next week. Things are looking good!

[oasis]

2. Kickaroo

[WSHazel]

3. Democrats need to pound on this

Jobs are up. Real wages are up. Stock market is up. Why take a chance on radical change?

[central scrutinizer]

4. You want a hellscape?

Deport the agricultural, construction and factory workers, start a tariff war and see what happens to prices, jobs, and the economy.

[barbtries]

9. perfectly stated.

short, succinct and every word true. may i steal for fb? i will attribute

[Kid Berwyn]

10. Putin wins.

Again.

[getagrip_already]

12. Just think of the new opportunities in surveilance, enforcement, detention

And dozens of other growth areas!

[Martin Eden]

40. That's exactly what Putin's candidate wants

Economic hellscape wouldn't be the only disaster of another Trump presidency. Ukraine and our allies would be abandoned. Polluters would be in charge of the EPA. Our Justice Department would become a tool of revenge for a depraved dictator. Women would be shoved towards the Handmaid's Tale, and Democracy would end.

[Clouds Passing]

5. Biden, Kamala & Administration excellent job! The economy is always better with Democrats in charge!!!!!

P25 would be not only be an economic hellscape but a hellscape for all sentient beings on this planet.

[Wounded Bear]

6. K&R...nt

[TheBlackAdder]

7. What momma used to say... What's one person's heaven is another person's hellscape. 🤣

[Bev54]

8. Do these never Trumpers ever sit back and think about why they were ever republicans in the first place.

Have they realized that dems are better at economy, at law and order, at foreign relations and pretty much everything else in government? Do they look back at the idiots they have elected, like Reagan, GW and Trump? Has it hit them yet that they have been played for years and the only way they ever got a republican elected is through cheating, for many years now? If it is just because of Trump and they go back, they have learned nothing.

[littlemissmartypants]

16. If they were for something. But ANTI everything is their M.O.

The worst contrarians on the planet.

❤️

[llmart]

38. Yes, especially "those people".

And we all know what they mean when they say "those people".

[Probatim]

17. I've said this before but they live in an alternate reality.

A reality driven by corporate media, hate radio, their insular bubbles, and generally, a lack of curiosity about the world around them.

[durablend]

36. They have no capability to think

[Bev54]

37. Actually they have shown us that they do. They are on MSNBC and likely CNN as well

and have been for 8 years touting democratic values. Some of them have actually registered as dems but many are still republicans, hoping to get their party back. My question to them is what really are your values? The cheating that republicans have done over the last 40 or more years is out in public, now more than ever before, and I don't understand how they can go back to that. They still revere Reagan, which astounds me, he was a mess.

[Botany]

11. And the right wing is still selling the, "We are in a recession" and "suffering from Bidenomics" 24/7

If we had a legitimate media that wasn’t on the whole kissing GOP ass and told the truth
Harris/Walz would win by 30 points.

Go Dark Brandon.

[wolfie001]

13. Many trump supporters are white and milking disability payments

If you look at dump's rallies and the interviews with his cult, those obviously economically distressed individuals are unemployable. 45-67 years old. Appears they've never purchased dental floss and maybe never heard of it (never listened to Frank Zappa ). Looks like they have zero plans of ever reentering the job market no matter who's in the WH.

[littlemissmartypants]

21. Ouch! Are we really going to call out the unemployed, white people and the differently/dis abled

This morning?? And not post any research numbers to back it up? We have scientists and statisticians among our clan.

It's going to take more than calling on the lord Zappa to get my vote here.



❤️

[wolfie001]

27. I didn't say all. Why would you think that

Anyone rooting for donald dump and his policies is a hypocrite if they're receiving gov't bennies. He wants to eliminate them. Hello? Also, I did my "own" research by looking at their faces. I guess it's a special skill I have. I only charge a fee of $500/hr if you'd like to hire. Quite the bargain.

[Backseat Driver]

23. YEMV - Mine does. I hope your hope grows as you age.

Be kind and grateful, stay healthy, be frugal yet generous with what you have, and learn all you can.

When we fight, American democracy wins!

[wolfie001]

28. No argument from me

They are repulsive people though. Their whole lives are centered on hate. Hard for me to resolve that. They make a big target on themselves to be mocked and ridiculed. I'll try to be a little more kind in the future. Thanks

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

15. But there are billionaires who need another tax cut

What about the poor billionaires?

[zorbasd]

19. No tax cuts

just because, only tax cuts they should get if they create US manufacturing jobs with their money.

[LiberalArkie]

18. Except at my grocery store. Can't even buy a small bag of Doritos for less than $3.00

So much gouging

[Jack Valentino]

34. Doritos have just about doubled since the pandemic, haven't they? Crazy.

The Kroger-brand generics didn't go up very much....
although things with corn seem to have risen a little more than their potato chips.

[calimary]

20. Probably broke the hearts of the Drudge folks.

Cuz they were hoping for bad news - which they could then parlay into votes for Republicans.

[Renew Deal]

22. Drudge hates Trump

Which is actually pretty funny

[liberal N proud]

24. Only if you listen to a MAGA bot

The MAGA has been operating a massive propaganda machine to match that of Russia. It may even be using the Russian machine.

It has been going on since trump ran for office the first time.

[Upthevibe]

25. YES! n/t

[andym]

26. Trumpers only believe sources that reinforce their beliefs

so this news will not be considered real by them. They have fallen down a rabbit hole. The danger is that they influence their acquaintances.

[moondust]

29. Has TSCF cried "FAKE!" yet?

It's what he does.

19 times Trump called jobs numbers ‘fake’ before they made him look good

A few:

~
Sep. 7, 2012

“Unemployment rate only dropped because more people are out of labor force & have stopped looking for work. Not a real recovery, phony numbers”

Oct. 19, 2012
"7.8% unemployment number is a complete fraud as evidenced by the jobless claims number released yesterday. Real unemployment is at least 15%”

Aug. 11, 2013
“We can rev up this economy like it should be, not with false numbers like 7.4 percent unemployment. But with real numbers.”

May 31, 2014
“Unemployment is a totally phony number.”

June 16, 2015
“Our real unemployment is anywhere from 18 to 20 percent. Don't believe the 5.6. Don't believe it.”

30. nice

[mnmoderatedem]

31. oh the right sez all kinds of things about democrats

The ACA will cause the rationing of our healthcare system, and healthcare will be all but inaccessible to most.

Obama will crash the stock market.

Romney famously said the unemployment rate will never get below 8% under Obama, and he boasted he will get it to 6% if elected. The unemployment rate when Obama left office? 4.7%

You'd think their predictions would come true once in a while, just by happenstance.

[Beartracks]

39. You'd think their predictions being so horribly wrong all the time would discredit Republicans as a party.

But like cult members who's dire predictions of the end of the world are perpetually wrong, the cognitive dissonance of Republican voters is inexplicably reality-proof.

32. What 'they' say:

The average (D) person:

Well, things are looking up!
Not perfect, with conflict around the world, global warming and storms and stuff, but mostly things are ok for me.

The average (R) person:
You think?
With Trump in the White House, I'd have a better job, nicer house, wars would stop overnight, and storms would just disappear!
Gas would be 30c/gallon, and . . . blah, blah, blah!

Perspective is everything!
So is being in touch with reality!

[johnnyfins]

33. Look for Trump Force One to be filing

A flight plan out of CONUS.

35. Did They Include The Growth In "Cleaning Ketchup Off Walls" Jobs? nt
