I know I’m getting old when I connect with Victor Davis Hanson’s explanation of sex appeal in modern advertising.

Love VDH. Dude has seen it all.
I’m irritated by the fact that I think we would get along in real life, but here we go.
I don’t blindly worship anyone, but look at data. Yes it can be fudged, but the aggregate tells the truth.
This isn’t someone waving a magic wand.
Do . . . do you know how BLS statistics work? Genuine question.
As I said to you before, imo economic policy in this country is predicated upon the stock market as god. So, pretty, pretty good.
No clue. That’s why I won’t be appointed to work there, or to head the BLS.
I am very familiar with how much money is tossed around based on people trying to get a read on the economy based on the nonfarm payroll numbers.
People getting hired, or not, is the very basis for getting a read on how businesses, and hence the economy is doing. That, and the inflation numbers, are The Key. These wild revisions make it impossible to work with, and are most definitely not the norm.
Strawman. People just want a modicum of Competence. I know half this country has become inured to the “C” word in the era of Kamalala Ding Dong, but.
Pretty much anyone who has ever lifted seriously will find a common bond with someone else who shared this pursuit. We would probably all get along just fine, for the most part.
That’s why I only posted on T-Nation for nearly a decade before I began running my mouth in Lewiston.
It is entirely possible that I’m reading the tea leaves all wrong, but there is a body of evidence presently mounting that wasn’t remotely present during the Trump/Russia collusion accusations. If you aren’t reading Matt Taibbi, you aren’t a real 1990’s progressive like I was. If you can’t handle reading Matt Taibbi, you’re a bootlicker.

Dumb.
That kinda seems important. Maybe do a teensy bit of the google?
My wife worked for the former company Glassdoor. If that’s your yardstick, I can assure you the hiring market is reflecting the shitty numbers.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
That’s really the best thing about this site.

See? We agree on an important core idea.
Now go read your Taibbi, then report back to the community.
Rúnya ná.
Ostrich.
Condescension? LOLLL
BLS got nuttin’ on you. Stating the obvious, I know.
Please cite the instances I’ve used the word Strawman. Another dumb, casual aspersion on your part with zero evidence. Your de rigeur modus operandi.
Ostrich.
I said I wanted to be friends. Why are you so mean?

Not you, I think we’re fine, we just disagree about LOtR stuff mostly. I do miss zecarlo though, so that might be a deal-breaker.
I was talking about punnyguy.
You are gravely mistaken in your understanding of Tolkien in addition to your understanding of politics.
Despise banishing a T-Nation Balrog to the abyss, I am no Gandalf. I’m not even a Radagast.
I’m more of a Samwise.
Nah, you’re wormtongue.
Sam is a democratic socialist.
Samwise is a Catholic, which I tried very hard not to be.
The brazenness of the LA $100 million wildfire concert grift tells the world that there are levels, and then there are levels, to this charity for grifters business.
I cannot even imagine what must’ve been going on when the gobs of “charity” were being raised for Haiti post earthquake.
I will admit it is hard for me to garner much sympathy for affluent people that voted their corrupt overlords in purely for party reasons.

Its unfortunate the “good” numbers came out right before the Federal Reserve decided not to lower interest rates.
Bad timing!
