"What recession? Jobs numbers point to solid growth
Over the last few months, the great debate has been over whether
2021's hyper-growth will end with a soft landing — a gradual
slowdown — or a hard landing that becomes a nasty recession.
The June employment numbers raise the question of if the plane is even landing at all.
Why it matters: Policymakers are looking for more moderate job
creation as the economy cools, lowering inflation pressures. Instead,
the labor market remains robust.
That eases recession fears for now, but it also raises the risk that
the Fed will maintain an aggressive approach to raising interest rates. Driving the news: Employers added 372,000 jobs last month, roughly
100,000 more than Wall Street economists expected. The unemployment
rate was unchanged at 3.6%.
Between the lines: This is an unusual moment, in which even
politicians are looking for a slowdown in jobs."
"It's a good reminder that for all the focus on a handful of hiring
freezes and layoffs at some buzzy companies, most U.S. businesses are
still hiring aggressively to meet high demand."
https://www.axios.com/2022/07/08/jobs-report-june-recession
Yep, I'm still seeing a lot of help wanted signs.
Elon was buzzing about freezes and layoffs. Turns out it was bullshit. OTOH Twitter is laying of a few people and it becomes even
less likely by the day that Elon will be buying. Even with help from
Twitter he still hasn't been able to figure out how many fake accounts
they have.
It seems like the Republicans are always rooting for a bad
economy because they figure that will help them politically. If you
look around you any fool can see that Americans in general are doing
better than ever in our history. We are, as a nation, amazingly rich.
We have more of everything than ever before.

"What recession? Jobs numbers point to solid growth
Over the last few months, the great debate has been over whether
2021's hyper-growth will end with a soft landing
 a gradual slowdown  or a
hard landing that becomes a nasty recession.
The June employment numbers raise the question of if the plane is
even landing at all.
Why it matters: Policymakers are looking for more moderate job
creation as the economy cools, lowering inflation pressures.
Instead, the labor market remains robust.
That eases recession fears for now, but it also raises the risk
that the Fed will maintain an aggressive approach to raising
interest rates.
Driving the news: Employers added 372,000 jobs last month,
roughly 100,000 more than Wall Street economists expected. The
unemployment rate was unchanged at 3.6%.
Between the lines: This is an unusual moment, in which even
politicians are looking for a slowdown in jobs."
"It's a good reminder that for all the focus on a handful of
hiring freezes and layoffs at some buzzy companies, most U.S.
businesses are still hiring aggressively to meet high demand."
https://www.axios.com/2022/07/08/jobs-report-june-recession
     Yep, I'm still seeing a lot of help wanted
signs.
     Elon was buzzing about freezes and layoffs.
Turns out it was bullshit. OTOH Twitter is laying of a few people
and it becomes even less likely by the day that Elon will be
buying. Even with help from Twitter he still hasn't been able to
figure out how many fake accounts they have.
    It seems like the Republicans are always rooting
for a bad economy because they figure that will help them
politically. If you look around you any fool can see that
Americans in general are doing better than ever in our history.
We are, as a nation, amazingly rich. We have more of everything
than ever before.
I guess that's why the vast majority are so optimistic about the
economy:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pessimism about the U.S. economy is at its highest level in 50
years amid decades-high inflation rates and rising interest rates.
Roughly 83% of respondents said the state of the economy was poor
or not so good, according to a new poll from the Wall Street
Journal and NORC at the University of Chicago. That’s the
highest dissatisfaction level since NORCâ€â€one of the largest
independent research organizations in the U.S.â€â€began >>>> conducting the poll in 1972.
In addition, more than a third of respondents said they are not
satisfied at all with their financial situation. Forty-six percent
said they have no chance at improving their standard of living
this year, and 38% said their financial situation is worse now
than it was in the past few yearsâ€â€the first time since the
aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2008, according to
WSJ’s reporting.

And why they're so pleased with Biden's handling of the economy:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
But approval of Biden’s handling of the economy is at 29%,
and his handling of inflation is even lower, at 23%.

    Well, you know what they say about opinions. Everyone has >>> one.
And polls reflect a consensus of opinions.
BUT, if you pull your head out of the television
What?! Are you suggesting that my 1 hour per 24 is too much?
and look around you we are more prosperous now than we have ever
been in our entire history.

So far this year used RV prices (at auction by dealers) is down, registrations of new RVs is down and the backlog of orders is steeply declining.
This all points to RV sales going more "balanced" that is where the
buyer and the seller are on a more equal power position . As opposed to
2021 where the seller had the controlling position
The only people who believe this BS are the blind and deaf to reality.
In other words, the democrat choir.
