State of our union: Achievements/ progress/ GOOD news for America, under the Biden/Democrat administration

     The state of our union:

          Achievements, progress and GOOD NEWS for America,
                under Joe Biden's Democratic administration

    It has been a remarkable turnaround for America -
after throwing out the destructive MAGA trump regime
two years ago. Now, so many positive achievements
.....despite being handed arguably the worst disaster
in American political/social/economic history,
from the tumultuous 2017 - 2020 administration.

Healing continues by trying to make improvements
to help Americans where and when possible, and
    especially thinking positive, NOT NEGATIVE.

     President Biden begins his third year in office
               with another milestone achievement
          that hasn't been witnessed in over 53 years:

      only 3.4% unemployment!

Much more to follow in this "positive news" thread...

    Our economy added a whopper 517,000 jobs in January!

From CNN's Alicia Wallace -

The US economy added an astonishing 517,000 jobs in January,
showing that the labor market is nowhere near a cooldown,
according to new data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The unemployment rate fell to 3.4% from 3.5%, hitting a level
not seen since before Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon.

Economists were expecting only 185,000 jobs would be added
last month, according to consensus estimates on Refinitiv.

Weekly jobless claims fall to lowest level since September     Minneapolis CNN —  Around 204,000 people applied for first-time unemployment benefits last week, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s down from the previous week’s total jobless claims and only slightly below the pre-pandemic weekly average of 218,000. Continuing claims, which are filed by people who have received unemployment benefits for more than one week, decreased to 1.69 million for the week ended December 24, from 1.72 million. Thursday’s data indicates continued resilience in the labor market

Historic!        

Biden won't get any credit for this from the MAGA cult on right wing media

Instead they will deflect and bash him for something

they will remain consistent in that way     for sure

PBOX Nation

congratulations , this is now : the Formerly in the politics forum but now it’s in the Penalty Box forum POST OF THE YEAR !

You Wonder why the Dems use a donkey for a symbol just read the above post

The earth is flat

Tell everyone to stay home and we will give you your pay (100% not the 60% unemployment usually gives) PLUS $600 cash money every fcking week, then when our retarted ol boy that shts himself in public, gets into office we will point out how many jobs he created.

lmfao

if you’re proud of Biden and his dirty aswhole that’s one thing, but maybe point out to something he actually ACCOMPLISHED instead of pretending he “created” any fcking jobs you fcking mindless sheep

Are you just throwing out arbitrary numbers?

Friday Night fights over 2 deranged old lunatics who couldn't give 2 liver spot moles about anything ever said about them on a sports betting forum.

Oh you cute Americanhoes are so adorable spewing your endless political nonsense here in the box since y'all got 86d from reddit and other fancy geriatric forums 

take away the free government money and watch unemployment see close to zero.  USPS, FEDEX, UPS, ETC all pay a minimum wage.

why work if you get money in the mail?

You earn your life, unless you have a trust fund

Dear Mods,

  Can you please stop polluting the Penalty box with posts like this 

You guys really believe all the bs the government tells you. Meanwhile in the real world a lot of the major companies are laying people off by the thousands and people still don't want to work.

Arbitrary numbers........

https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/scott-calls-biden-admins-job-growth-lie-philly-fed-report-shows-numbers-off-more-1m-jobs

The Philadelphia Fed's report, released last week, week estimated that from March to June of this year, the U.S. added just 10,500 jobs, a glaring difference from the 1,121,500 estimated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-biden-1-million-new-auto-jobs-4951b25589c6d008aae2fa8f92963e2d

Casting his climate policy as a jobs plan, President Joe Biden left out important context and used fuzzy math when he announced sweeping new green initiatives that he says will boost the U.S. economy with the creation of 1 million new auto jobs.

That’s actually far from certain, if not unlikely.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/18/bidens-bogus-1-million-construction-jobs-boast/

We’ve learned from experience that when the president utters a big job-creation number, it’s ripe for fact-checking. So we were curious to learn how the president’s job prediction for the Chips and Science Act — which will provide nearly $53 billion for U.S. semiconductor research, development, manufacturing and workforce development — was developed.

It turns out this number is wildly exaggerated.

Do ya sense a pattern here????
