I wonder how many "gig" jobs, if any, were considered in the awesome employment numbers of the last year or two. Doordash, uber, etc. Bullshit jobs that won't pay for a family or get you a mortgage.
I only ask because I remember W's jobs numbers were good his last year, but the prevailing argument was "yeah but they aren't good jobs."
I'm just always wondering where the smell of shit is coming from when I read the news.

Latest jobs report was weak and the market is reacting negatively.
Unemployment is up and people are starting to say "recession". It's even trending on Twitter.

The recession that twitter has called for 18 straight Quarters might happen? Wow, twitter really is a crystal ball.Leisher wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02, 2024 9:55 am Latest jobs report was weak and the market is reacting negatively.

Nonfarm payrolls grew by just 114,000 in July, below the downwardly revised 179,000 in June and the Dow Jones estimate for 185,000.
The unemployment rate edged higher to 4.3%, its highest since October 2021, triggering an economic rule on recessions.

To be fair, it's not "only" people on Twitter, it's the videos of business/news shows and articles being shared that are openly talking recession.

Because there's too many people talking. People have been calling the next recession for 5 years, and it's all bullshit.

Didn't we go through a recession by the Oxford definition recently? Not being snarky, I remember the actual definition of a financial word being discussed. (Other than "bloodbath".)

There's a democrat to elect, they're all lying and spending our way for short term gain, long term damage.
No one has answered my question about how much the bullshit uber/doordash jobs have been propping up "good" economic numbers.

We went through one (that no one predicted) right when the pandemic started due to all the shutdowns. Not one since.
Depends on how they count. The unemployment survey is based on what people consider their job to be. Employed, underemployed, or unemployed.

*GASP* Shein and Temu products might not be awesome.
You mean the baby seat I got for $1.19 might not be up to code? Who would have thought?
Remember in The League when Ruxin came up with the legal defense of "If you spend $5 on steak, it's reasonable to assume you know it's low quality"?
Nvidea had a great week on the stock market...

I've thought about buying some Temu shit because it's basically disposable and I wanted to get some stuff for the photography (cheap clothes). I haven't, but I sure af wouldn't trust anything real from Temu.

I rolled the dice on a $20 laser tape measure that can measure at like 300+ feet. That would be well over $100 in the real world. It works really well. That being said, 250 feet is near impossible to measure without a tripod (500ft round trip, your aim can't deviate more than a couple of feet from the device. And you would never be able to see the laser dot at that distance to even see if you are hitting your target). But I have measured about 100 feet. It measures farther than my Bosch that does 64 feet and cost over $50.
I also bought some sanding pads, a tool that works as a wrench on nuts/bolts ranging in size from 1/4" to 1.5". Sanding pads do sand. The tool, while awkward to use, meets all expectations. Wouldn't fix a car with it, but has come in handy when I didn't want to carry a full socket set to do a couple bolts on an IT rack or something easy. I think I bought some neodymium magnets as well.
Have not bought anything that I needed to count on (other than the laser).

My middle kid got involved in some promotion through Temu, so she made me create an account, NOT make a purchase. However, once I signed up, the ridiculous offers got my attention, so I made a purchase for like $10. I got a bathmat that has a nice no slip bottom, a pack of t-shirts, and a dog bed. All are fine. Nothing special, but priced far better than here in the US. The dog bed alone would have been $30-$40.
