    No? You think it's his opinion on Constitutional Law? No wonder you're so confused all the time, you're calling the plumber to ask for help restoring an item on your WoW account.

    That's irrelevant; plenty of Presidents have had lowish ratings. Every single President back to Kennedy has had lower ratings than this at some point. His approval rating simply isn't as low as you claim.
    It's also hilarious because Trump never really even got that high of an approval rating. He literally hit 45.8 once, right after he signed the first stimulus package in early 2020.

    Job openings reach historic high of almost 11 million. Why are 9 million still jobless?

    American businesses are hiring — and at historic rates, with almost 11 million job openings in July, according to the latest government data. Yet more than 9 million people were collecting enhanced unemployment benefits as of the Labor Day cutoff of those pandemic benefits, an apparent disconnect that has roiled lawmakers, policy experts and business owners.

    It all boils dow to this: If there are more job openings than unemployed workers, why aren't more people coming off unemployment aid? And why are businesses struggling to find employees to wait tables, take orders and drive buses? The number of job openings in the U.S. surged to a historic high of 10.9 million at the end of July, up from 10.2 million in June, according to Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) data released by the Department of Labor on Wednesday.

    Many business owners and dozens of Republican governors have blamed enhanced unemployment benefits for keeping workers on the sidelines. In their view, too many unemployed workers opted to collect an extra $300 in weekly jobless aid rather than find work, which prompted 25 GOP-led states to cut jobless aid early in an effort to spur job growth by pushing workers off unemployment support.

    Yet that hasn't happened, with several economic studies finding the states that curtailed pandemic jobless aid early didn't experience stronger job growth than those that maintained the aid until Labor Day weekend, when the federal benefits expired. That suggests other factors are at work besides unemployment aid, with economists pointing to a complicated mix of shifting priorities for workers and concerns about rising COVID-19 infection rates as the highly contagious Delta variant spreads across the nation.

    "The big factor for most job seekers is still the pandemic," noted Nick Bunker, Indeed Hiring Lab director of research. "Concern about the coronavirus will make people less willing to immediately jump into a job than they have in the past."

    President Joe Biden led the nation in reflection, with a 9/11 speech in which he...didn't give a speech. Laid a wreath and honored the families of the first-responder victims.

    Because he knew it wasn't about him.

    W said a few things...including warning the USA about the dangers of domestic terror. Yes he meant Jan 6th style attacks.

    Moratorium is still in place regardless of aid. Extended in many states till summer of 2022. A lot of the unemployed can stay unemployed, ignore the vaccine mandate that they lobbied Biden to enforce, and the Walmarts of the nation will keep on kicking and screaming that they can't hire slave labor.

    question is the new vaccine announcement going to cover just privately owned businesses or businesses in generally as private entities even if they are publicly traded?

    ok cause our company has put up a statement on their website saying it doesn't apply to them. they are a fairly large corporation as well. maybe the person who drew up the statement got the wrong information?

    It hasn't been implemented yet. So right now, it doesn't apply to anyone. It will apply to your company unless the mandate is challenged in court.

    This is too funny.
    Why is it people have such a hard time with this.

    "I saw on IG that some tik tok bitch who dances for money said her daughters boyfriend on facebook said..."

    Is pretty much the same thing.
    Getting your info from the correct specialist is key here lol.
    Would you ask the kid who mows your lawn for advice on your taxes?

    I have to post this cause it feels related.
    Direct from Trump regarding Magic Mikes Symposium of Web Wonders:

    "I watched him over the last week at his symposium, which was really amazing. Some of the people he had were incredible, incredible people. Mike Lindell!" Trump said. "True! I'll tell you, true. It's true. He had some people up there, really — they were scientists, they were political scientists and beyond. They were incredible, what they said and what they understand."

    And beyond!

    I have a serious question:

    Why do people on YouTube and Facebook have such overwhelming contempt for Biden and downvote everything he says or does, while vocally Trump and Republicans are praised? It’s in contrast to the approval ratings where Biden is just unfavorable while Trump is at despised.

    I don't think it's "some" by the sheer, disproportionate ratio of contempt for Biden across the board compared to what's there for Trump.

    When Trump was president though, people always made fun of him and hated him.

    69% of American Adults use Facebook. 73% use Youtube. You've discussed this issue with all of them?

    Oh, wait you mean the tiny minority of people that share your regressive politics on Youtube and Facebook.

    Right? It's almost as if you watch exclusively conservative content, you're going to see people shitting on a Democratic president. Wild.

    Do you not realize that both YouTube and Facebook curate what content they recommend to you based on your previous selections? If you have a habit of clicking on right-wing shill videos and feeds, then that's all you're going to have recommended to you.

    In other words: no, it's not some "disproportionate ratio of contempt for Biden across the board"; you're just in a self-imposed echo chamber.
