Contrasting headlines today. Bezos gets his econ from White House now

Washington Post: Economy adds 151,000 jobs in February, a solid gain despite federal worker layoffs.

FT: US economy undershoots expectations with 151,000 jobs created February figure was below the 160,000 forecast by economists

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

The most partisan (and untruthful) presidential speech ever. Gone are the days of bipartisanship. Will it ever be attempted by either side?

If only...

A tiny trump figure in a chair next to a towering Zelensky captures the puny spirit of Trump's cowardice and Russian capitulation.

Clay Bennett nails it.

Yep. Sorry if you don't like it.

If I don't like the choices, why vote for either? Someday maybe America will have more choices. Too many voters are brainwashed to vote for Dems or Reps. That's just tired.

Why vote for someone you don't support?

Which is worse - bias on X or bias on Bluesky?

Is the purpose of Bluesky to be a lefty Twitter? I'm here for constructive discourse, not an echo chamber.

Is there something besides politics here? That's so 12 days ago.

Ok, tell me who I am. I didn't vote Trump or Harris. I voted Libertarian. Done with binary bad choices.

Agree. I have also noticed that non-college educated voters process information differently. More susceptible to information silos.

Nooo...wait until after Thanksgiving

Hello, Bluesky!
