According to the BLS, foreign workers have a higher rate of employment (by 3%) than do US citizens. Just a truth for you.

There are 300,000 FEWER Americans working today than in 2019. You should actually look for a real job, not a government job, and let us know what YOU find out

One hears a lot about how Democrats are destroying the country and that President Biden is an obvious disaster. What you don’t hear are specifics. What are Democrats specifically doing that’s destroying the country? What specifically has Biden done that’s an obvious disaster?

Are Democrats destroying the economy? Hmmm, record employment doesn’t seem destructive. When Trump left office there were 170,000 fewer manufacturing jobs than when he entered The White House. Over 800,000 manufacturing jobs have been created under Biden’s leadership. That doesn’t seem like a disaster.

You could point at the border and call that a disaster. Okay, but the mess at the border was decades in the making. In 2013 the Senate passed a bipartisan immigration reform bill. The Republican led House refused to even bring the bill to the floor. Under Trump Republicans had four years to pass an immigration reform bill and they didn’t do it. The immigration laws we have today were passed by politicians beholden to The Donor Class which wanted cheap labor. Anger toward immigrants is misdirected, you should direct your anger toward fat cat donors and the politicians that serviced the interests of those donors.

Mad about inflation? Yeah sure, but remember the current rise in inflation is a worldwide event and the US is doing much better than the vast majority of other countries. The average inflation rate internationally is 6.5%. The current US inflation rate is 3.2%. It appears that the Democrat’s Inflation Reduction Act is working. Doesn’t sound like destruction to me.

I could go on, but the point is that simply saying that Democrats are destroying the country is just bumpersticker bullshit. Give me specifics, give me evidence to back up your assertion. Oh, I forgot, Republicans don’t really deal with evidence, they’re more into feelings.

The price of OIL affects EVERYTHING from the cost of food, electricity, transportation industry and building housing! Joe Biden lost the battle of keeping the price of oil DOWN!

You are beginning to sound discouraged. I still agree with what George Corley Wallace said in 1968, “There is not a nickels worth of difference between a Democrat and a Republican.” I cannot show what anyone will call hard facts but under Biden’s Presidency I see that China after two centuries of European dominance there is finally returning to a leadership roll again. The history of China is one of leadership and stagnation repeated again and again over the centuries. A fact that China does not meet with American leaders who go but are able to only meet with second tier leaders should sort of tell us that a rising world power does not have high regard for America. The coalescence of the new BRICS union at this point in history will hopefully not affect your life or my life but will affect the lives of our children and grandchildren. The US is going to have to learn to live as a team player, not the bully on the block who is able to coerce the other players to follow his rules. Biden is President as this coalition grows faster and he as the office holder will bear the blame in the history books. Biden is at a point that firefighter on a line face when the embers cross the line and begin spot fires and they are so engaged in stomping on the spot fires they neglect to see the fire jump the line and burn on. For the life of me I cannot see why either Biden or Trump or anyone else wants to be President under these conditions.
They or anyone else are in the position of Priam, Leonidas, the Vikings abandoned on Greenland or any of the others of history at the fall of empire.

Happier note. Anyone who gets to see one of those cats is lucky but one who sees one on the doorstep is twice blessed.

Hello, FO... I like to catch your posts, even this one..

Yes, I am a bit discouraged. no matter what outcome I see this fall, the downside is large and nasty..

However, a good deal of my blues is simply from the fact that I managed to reach the point of having one of my replacements, replaced.. While I was instructed to still go easy for a while yet, I got bored and fiddled around in the garden area, some fencing and removing Gopher mounds... So , I was truly worn out and should have just watched some TV from Australia or something.. and sipped a cold drink.. like Pepsi..

As you point out.. we should be a team player... but I wonder if the US can ever become such a member. we have run the world or most of it for 70 years.. changing is difficult.. good luck to the effort..

Somewhere in Montana...

This is how...a 20x increase in leasing fees and a 4% increase in the governments take from the oil they extract. Not to mention that he's allowing Iran to sell 1,000,000 barrels per day, in violation of sanctions

If you go by the media you read, there isn't much evidence. If you live out here in the world, the evidence is in your face every day.
I know, I know, it's all corporate greed. Right?
Neither the democrats, nor the republicans seem to have any interest in reining it in for the benefit of the American people.
The AMERICAN people who work hard, and long for what they have. Only to have a good portion taken from them to "fund" queers, climate change, and wars. Those are ALL on democrats. The DEI thing, is ALL on democrats. The no bail policies letting hard core criminals out to prey on more people is ALL on democrats.
I detest both parties, but, by far, the democrats are worse in my opinion.

When the next major terrorist attack happens here, and it will. You will have blood dripping from your hands because you support, and make excuses for your party.
Every. Single. Death as a result of democrat policies is on YOUR hands. Because you vote for them, and support them. Make all the excuses you want, but it's out there for the world to see.

Duh, Constitutional, Green and Libertarian.

You may be unaware of the little thing called write-in voting. There were several here, on OPP, who wrote in in 2016.

This is information you should know. Obviously, such escaped your knowledge base.

I could go point for point refuting your arguments, but I have done that so many many times with Liberals on OPP, and then never got a response, that I simply am too bored to bother.

Have a pleasant evening.

Are MAGA people allowed to support any members of these parties who might be included in your knowledge base? Who will MAGA voters support when Traitor Trump is in jail?

You owe me big time. You have no clue how hard it was to get the first chart, much less format the second document.

This page displays a table with actual values, consensus figures, forecasts, statistics and historical data charts for - Crude Oil Production. This page provides values for Crude Oil Production reported in several countries. The table has current values for Crude Oil Production, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency plus links to historical data charts.

The pictorial was first. The chart was, actually second.

I truly wish you people would learn how to do this stuff! Anytime you want something odd, not in the Fed data, yours truly has to find it. You all owe me.

Okay, I may have found a clearer picture. It covers 2020-2024. Check the new attachment.
