Any future stimulus at this point should only be direct payments to the citizens

I am shocked that you've done a 180 on your thinking. Do you still have the autographed picture of Faucci on your nightstand? Idiot!

Econintersect.com

-The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) systemically overstates the number of jobs created, especially during the last economic cycle.

-The BLS has failed to account for the rise in part-time and contractual work arrangements, while all evidence points to a significant and rapid increase in the so-called contingent workforce.

-Full-time jobs are being replaced by part-time positions, resulting in double and triple counting of jobs via the Establishment Survey. (Examples: Uber, Lyft, GrubHub, FedEx, Amazon)

-A full 93% of the new jobs added since 2008 came through the business birth and death model - a highly controversial model not supported by the data. On the contrary, all data on establishment births and deaths point to an ongoing decrease in entrepreneurship.
Most importantly, the jobs added to the roles are not “new" entrants into an expanding labor force but rather furloughed workers returning to work post-pandemic shutdown.

In other words, jobs are not truly being “created" due to rising demand but rather “refilling" roles as businesses reopen.

Same thing was said last year as things reopened and all the Trumpsters cried about it

This is correct. The only jobs that my company is adding are less than 30 hours a week.

Who knew that Powerbottom would bring specious information to the rant?

Shocking!

Not likely

It's an isolated microcosm of whatever dumb company you work for that only hires people part time

This is like people blaming Bush for deficits in his last year in office because the spending included the bank bailouts of $700 billion.

COVID fricked Trump and set a low bar for the dementia patient.
