It’s not just one bad month. New job creation is down three months in a row, with the revisions of previous months. If you go back to October of last year, the falloff in monthly jobs growth is even more ominous.
Most industries eliminated jobs last month, the first time that’s happened in several years. In another bad sign, temp employment fell by 21,000 and it’s down 64,000 so far this year, the Labor Department said Friday.
The dropoff in temporary work in 2016 is the sharpest of the seven-year-old recovery and might be a sign that hiring is likely to remain soft. Temp hiring usually increases when the economy is strong, with many of those workers eventually getting hired full time.
… Over the last three months, the pace of hiring has dropped to the slowest in four years.
Well, I suppose that’s one interpretation, if one looks at a change over a single month.
Another is that when the ordinance went into effect in April of 2015, unemployment reported on the 30th of that month (same chart as in Goldy’s retweet) was 3.3%.
Now, a YEAR later, it’s 3.8%. Unemployment has climbed significantly since the new minimum wage ordinance took effect.

Value One Year Ago: 3.30%
Change From One Year Ago: 15.15%
Enjoy your Friday, everybody. It’s a good day to pick cherries, no?

The point is, whenever “conservatives” make these kinds of certain predictions everybody, no matter what your political ideology, everybody should be very, very skeptical. I won’t argue that “conservatives” are always lying shits.
But you should only consider their predictions when they have mountains of repeated solid evidence collected over long periods of time. You just can’t be too careful with these guys. Hell, they don’t even trust themselves anymore. Why should you?

Who’s complaining about their dwelling?
I just received a flyer from some bank in Bellevue I never heard of, on Tuesday I think. They’re offering 4.15%, fixed, over 15 years for commercial RE first-position money. In 2006 it was 6.5%.
Sent it to my bank and they’ll either match it or come very close, at no fee to me to reprice. Rates that low are possible only because of the contortions the Fed has managed in order to stimulate an otherwise weak-ass economic recovery. Any increase in interest rates could collapse the house of cards and one need only attend a Bernie rally to hear how high the true unemployment rate is – Hillary won’t tell you, if she is running to be the third Obama term.
Those of us on the right side of the bell curve have little to complain about. Apple is sheltering $200M offshore and borrowing at very, very low rates for domestic cash needs, thanks to the Fed. Next quarter it will probably be $210M offshore.
Someone should warn the rest of you that you’ll end up paying for the gifts Obama’s had to give out to those who don’t need it, in order to create some growth.
Well, maybe not you, yourself. But the children of Goldy and Better? Oh, yeah. They’re gonna pay.

Yep, the raise in minimum wage appears to be doing exactly what every other wage raise in where data is available. A short spike in unemployment as business owners wring their hands over, “They’re killing of my profits!” to “hey, really, I think I’m selling more stuff now that people can afford it. Maybe I need to bring some people on.”
If you actually look at the data, the rate rose steadily over the first seven months and is now dropping at a pretty decent clip. .9% over the past three months.
If you really want to dig into it, it took eight months for the rate to climb 1.4% but only three months to drop .9%. If that kind of payroll expansion holds you’ll be left wondering how 16 months after raising the minimum wage, how is it that unemployment is LOWER than when business was paying less. You assured everyone the your economic notions were strong. Better hope for a downturn in the local economy, right? Wouldn’t want to be wrong again, right?

@44 Earnings don’t always increase, they’re not increasing now, the S&P’s earnings growth rate is currently negative. Aggregate earnings must be distinguished from earnings per share. Even if a company’s earnings are declining, management can increase earnings per share by borrowing money to buy back stock. The interest paid on those loans, whether at high or low rates, is a cost that further reduces earnings. But the higher earnings per share triggers management’s stock options. They get paid more; your company earns less; and, ultimately, you the shareholder make less money on that stock. Why do I have to spell this out? Because you’re a fucking moron?
Your argument @44 is premised on (a) companies investing the money they’ve borrowed in their businesses to increase sales and profits, (b) a growing economy in which companies can grow, and (c) sufficiently strong demand to allow companies to raise prices. None of these factors currently exist. Your entire argument is based on a hypothetical that has nothing to do with the reality that investors currently face.
Yes, there’s a tremendous amount of corporate borrowing going on, at ultra-low rates, and corporate borrowers are pushing for the longest maturities the market will give them to lock in these rates. Bond buyers get the short straw in this trade. Shareholders don’t benefit from it, either. It’s nothing more than a way for overpaid CEOs to line their pockets even more, at the expense of everyone else. The way to stop it is by bringing back the Eisenhower-era 90% tax rate on incomes over $1 million. There’s no incentive for such gimmickry if you have to end the loot over to the government.

@46 Probably the truth is employment has risen so far and so fast under Obama’s economic policies that hiring is taking a breather after several years of spectacular growth despite a slow-growing economy.

I can also tell you that to lay someone out with a single blow is pretty hard to do, even with a wild, blind side sucker punch.
That may be a useful skill for this young man, considering where he’ll find himself spending the night after he’s been identified by the police. It won’t protect him. He’s definitely going to experience a few jailhouse beatings. But a skill like his could help him make new friends inside.

The Trump University scandal just got a lot worse.
“A Trump University seminar presentation advised students to try and boost their credit card limit by inflating their income by $75,000, according to documents made public in federal court this week. The instruction, legal experts said, could amount to a lesson in bank fraud. ‘If someone is encouraging people to make a false representation about their current income — that might be an appropriate target for prosecution,’ said John W. Moscow, former head of the Frauds Bureau of the New York County District Attorney’s office. ‘If the caller actually does what they were told to do, that could easily be fraud,’ agreed Randall M. Fox, who served as founding Bureau Chief of New York Attorney General’s Taxpayer Protection Bureau.”

It has precisely defined all the people described by the term “la Raza” as worthy of its hate and scorn for exactly the same reasons that white supremacists offer for their hate and scorn of “zionists”, “blacks”, “African Americans”, etc. It’s too stupid to understand that it can’t be credited for being “selective” in its bigotry.
Another way to look at the changes in death rates.
“The poor are losing ground not only in income, but also in years of life, the most basic measure of well-being. In the early 1970s, a 60-year-old man in the top half of the earnings ladder could expect to live 1.2 years longer than a man of the same age in the bottom half, according to an analysis by the Social Security Administration. Fast-forward to 2001, and he could expect to live 5.8 years longer than his poorer counterpart.
New research released on Friday contains even more jarring numbers. Looking at the extreme ends of the income spectrum, economists at the Brookings Institution found that for men born in 1920, there was a six-year difference in life expectancy between the top 10 percent of earners and the bottom 10 percent. For men born in 1950, that difference had more than doubled, to 14 years”

@110 “Sanctuary cities are illegal.”
Actually, they’re not. See, e.g.,
CRS: “Sanctuary Cities'” Policies Don’t “Conflict With Federal Requirements.” According to a 2009 Congressional Research Service report that discussed local law enforcement agencies’ responsibilities under § 434 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) and § 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), the “primary federal restrictions on state and local sanctuary policies” concern a state or local refusal to maintain or share immigration status information. However, the report noted that the 1996 law “does not require entities to collect such information in the first place” and the U.S Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit indicated that “Congress cannot directly compel states to collect and share information regarding immigration status with federal immigration authorities”:
Why do you support forcing women and children fleeing oppression and violence to return to their home countries to be raped and killed? What kind of sick bastard does that?
All this babbling about “Raza” started with Curiel right?
Why not talk about whether what Curiel did was justified or not? Would another Judge make the same decision?
Why not talk about Trump U? Was it on the level? Was it a con?

It says it hates “la Raza” because of some A.A. guy who was killed by latino gang members. Jeeebus Cryminee, at least el Douche has some kind of logical, selfish reason to attack Curiel. He stands to suffer quite a financial beating as these lawsuits progress. It’s costing him millions already. It’s just about the money. I’m not even convinced el Douche is really a bigot. He just plays one on television for votes.
But Fuckwad? No doubt. A straight up ignorant fuck bigot who hates on all Latinos “but has good reasons”. It reads about some poor soul being murdered by gang members. And the minute it learns the gang members are Latino the seething anger and will for revenge begins, only it targets the entire race. That makes it exactly the same as Dylan Root.

@113 Actually,
“Membership shall consist of the local attorney organizations that subscribe to the purposes and goals of this Association, and pay the required dues.”
So it appears “California La Raza Lawyers Association” is an organization of organizations, and you join by being a member of a member organization.
Looking at the websites of several member organizations, I don’t see any race-based requirement for membership. For example, the bylaws of the Orange County Hispanic Bar Association state:
“All attorneys in good standing as members of the California State Bar or otherwise duly licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction of the United States of America or its territories are eligible for membership as Attorney Members.”
I don’t see anything here that says you have to be Hispanic. Any licensed California lawyer who supports the organization’s goals can belong. Therefore, the answer to both your questions seems to be yes, a white lawyer can belong, and a black lawyer can belong; and, no, it’s not a racist organization that discriminates against people of other races.
To belong to a group like that, you have to join either the Ku Klux Klan or the Republican Party.
@137 It’s too weird. The fiend worships Republicans, worships and celebrates its own white Republican identity daily in these threads.
Yet it was Republicans that let Curiel take the bench while blocking other Obama nominees. I guess the fuckwad is now in the “dump McConnell and Ryan” crowd. Imagine that. Fiends that are so whacked out even McConnell and Ryan are too “liberal” for them.

But there’s more. Under Obama, a bad month is only 38,000* new jobs. Under his Republican predecessor, a good month was losing only 100,000 jobs.

Distant Replayspews:
As far as I know, and I guess I should mention that my wife is of mixed-race Latino heritage (but it isn’t very important to her personally), here in North America the term La Raza may be and often is used to describe all the various non-European Hispanic or Latino people in pretty much the whole western hemisphere. But it seems it does get complicated. In some parts of South America the term may refer exclusively to the indigenous people. Furthermore, in parts of the U. S. Southwest politically active people of direct Mexican ancestry prefer that the term refer to them exclusively. Of course it translates to “the race” which is pretty self explanatory.
So however you choose to slice it, La Raza is no more evil or bad or “guilty” or connotative of anything than any other vague racial or ethnic descriptor. As such it’s clear that there exists some group of people somewhere sharing some general racial or ethnic characteristics, not known to him personally, but nonetheless hated by Puddy for those characteristics.
That’s what scientists call pure distilled racism.

Of course it leaves out the fact that individuals in each tax bracket pay an equal amount of tax. So no one in the top 1% pays anymore tax than someone else in each bracket. The 1% is simply in more brackets. If anything this chart shows the top 25% are not paying enough tax. They should be paying a much higher amount of their income in tax. There is no reason one person should earn more and keep more just because they are fortunate. Someone earning below a certain amount should not be taxed on their income. There is also an amount that is more than what one could spend in a life time and it definitely should be heavily taxed.

@72 Your talking about how they choose school books in Texas. It’s not entirely a Republican or Democrat thing in Texas though it’s a Republican state as of late. Still the Democrats there are not fire breathing liberals.
Still it’s Texas and there is a Texan state of mind. Guns, extreme private property rights, and big hats. Not to mention the football.

@82 The President should have acted to hold up the treaty obligations of the treaty the US, Russia and Ukraine signed when the Ukraine gave up thousands of nuclear warheads and their political integrity was guaranteed. Perhaps he should have considered giving the Ukranians a few warheads with some sort of delivery system.
Would help to get Ukraine’s economy started, contain the corruption, and curtail Ukraine’s dependence on Russian gas. Maybe the Bush administration could have started with these items.

It’s not just one bad month. New job creation is down three months in a row, with the revisions of previous months. If you go back to October of last year, the falloff in monthly jobs growth is even more ominous.
Most industries eliminated jobs last month, the first time that’s happened in several years. In another bad sign, temp employment fell by 21,000 and it’s down 64,000 so far this year, the Labor Department said Friday.
The dropoff in temporary work in 2016 is the sharpest of the seven-year-old recovery and might be a sign that hiring is likely to remain soft. Temp hiring usually increases when the economy is strong, with many of those workers eventually getting hired full time.
…
Over the last three months, the pace of hiring has dropped to the slowest in four years.

Well, I suppose that’s one interpretation, if one looks at a change over a single month.
Another is that when the ordinance went into effect in April of 2015, unemployment reported on the 30th of that month (same chart as in Goldy’s retweet) was 3.3%.
Now, a YEAR later, it’s 3.8%. Unemployment has climbed significantly since the new minimum wage ordinance took effect.

@ 4
Who’s complaining about their dwelling?
I just received a flyer from some bank in Bellevue I never heard of, on Tuesday I think. They’re offering 4.15%, fixed, over 15 years for commercial RE first-position money. In 2006 it was 6.5%.
Sent it to my bank and they’ll either match it or come very close, at no fee to me to reprice. Rates that low are possible only because of the contortions the Fed has managed in order to stimulate an otherwise weak-ass economic recovery. Any increase in interest rates could collapse the house of cards and one need only attend a Bernie rally to hear how high the true unemployment rate is – Hillary won’t tell you, if she is running to be the third Obama term.
Those of us on the right side of the bell curve have little to complain about. Apple is sheltering $200M offshore and borrowing at very, very low rates for domestic cash needs, thanks to the Fed. Next quarter it will probably be $210M offshore.
Someone should warn the rest of you that you’ll end up paying for the gifts Obama’s had to give out to those who don’t need it, in order to create some growth.
Well, maybe not you, yourself. But the children of Goldy and Better? Oh, yeah. They’re gonna pay.

Yep, the raise in minimum wage appears to be doing exactly what every other wage raise in where data is available. A short spike in unemployment as business owners wring their hands over, “They’re killing of my profits!” to “hey, really, I think I’m selling more stuff now that people can afford it. Maybe I need to bring some people on.”
If you actually look at the data, the rate rose steadily over the first seven months and is now dropping at a pretty decent clip. .9% over the past three months.
If you really want to dig into it, it took eight months for the rate to climb 1.4% but only three months to drop .9%. If that kind of payroll expansion holds you’ll be left wondering how 16 months after raising the minimum wage, how is it that unemployment is LOWER than when business was paying less. You assured everyone the your economic notions were strong. Better hope for a downturn in the local economy, right? Wouldn’t want to be wrong again, right?

@44 Earnings don’t always increase, they’re not increasing now, the S&P’s earnings growth rate is currently negative. Aggregate earnings must be distinguished from earnings per share. Even if a company’s earnings are declining, management can increase earnings per share by borrowing money to buy back stock. The interest paid on those loans, whether at high or low rates, is a cost that further reduces earnings. But the higher earnings per share triggers management’s stock options. They get paid more; your company earns less; and, ultimately, you the shareholder make less money on that stock. Why do I have to spell this out? Because you’re a fucking moron?
Your argument @44 is premised on (a) companies investing the money they’ve borrowed in their businesses to increase sales and profits, (b) a growing economy in which companies can grow, and (c) sufficiently strong demand to allow companies to raise prices. None of these factors currently exist. Your entire argument is based on a hypothetical that has nothing to do with the reality that investors currently face.
Yes, there’s a tremendous amount of corporate borrowing going on, at ultra-low rates, and corporate borrowers are pushing for the longest maturities the market will give them to lock in these rates. Bond buyers get the short straw in this trade. Shareholders don’t benefit from it, either. It’s nothing more than a way for overpaid CEOs to line their pockets even more, at the expense of everyone else. The way to stop it is by bringing back the Eisenhower-era 90% tax rate on incomes over $1 million. There’s no incentive for such gimmickry if you have to end the loot over to the government.

@46 Probably the truth is employment has risen so far and so fast under Obama’s economic policies that hiring is taking a breather after several years of spectacular growth despite a slow-growing economy.

That may be a useful skill for this young man, considering where he’ll find himself spending the night after he’s been identified by the police. It won’t protect him. He’s definitely going to experience a few jailhouse beatings. But a skill like his could help him make new friends inside.

The Trump University scandal just got a lot worse.
“A Trump University seminar presentation advised students to try and boost their credit card limit by inflating their income by $75,000, according to documents made public in federal court this week. The instruction, legal experts said, could amount to a lesson in bank fraud. ‘If someone is encouraging people to make a false representation about their current income — that might be an appropriate target for prosecution,’ said John W. Moscow, former head of the Frauds Bureau of the New York County District Attorney’s office. ‘If the caller actually does what they were told to do, that could easily be fraud,’ agreed Randall M. Fox, who served as founding Bureau Chief of New York Attorney General’s Taxpayer Protection Bureau.”

In other words, Trump University was a criminal organization teaching people how to commit fraud. Yet some voters will still see a certain logic in electing a gangster as POTUS. You know — Russia is led by a gangster, and it takes one to beat one.

Another way to look at the changes in death rates.
“The poor are losing ground not only in income, but also in years of life, the most basic measure of well-being. In the early 1970s, a 60-year-old man in the top half of the earnings ladder could expect to live 1.2 years longer than a man of the same age in the bottom half, according to an analysis by the Social Security Administration. Fast-forward to 2001, and he could expect to live 5.8 years longer than his poorer counterpart.
New research released on Friday contains even more jarring numbers. Looking at the extreme ends of the income spectrum, economists at the Brookings Institution found that for men born in 1920, there was a six-year difference in life expectancy between the top 10 percent of earners and the bottom 10 percent. For men born in 1950, that difference had more than doubled, to 14 years”

However, the report noted that the 1996 law “does not require entities to collect such information in the first place” and the U.S Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit indicated that “Congress cannot directly compel states to collect and share information regarding immigration status with federal immigration authorities”:

“Membership shall consist of the local attorney organizations that subscribe to the purposes and goals of this Association, and pay the required dues.”
So it appears “California La Raza Lawyers Association” is an organization of organizations, and you join by being a member of a member organization.
Looking at the websites of several member organizations, I don’t see any race-based requirement for membership. For example, the bylaws of the Orange County Hispanic Bar Association state:
“All attorneys in good standing as members of the California State Bar or otherwise duly licensed to practice law in any jurisdiction of the United States of America or its territories are eligible for membership as Attorney Members.”
http://www.ochba.org/bylaws
I don’t see anything here that says you have to be Hispanic. Any licensed California lawyer who supports the organization’s goals can belong. Therefore, the answer to both your questions seems to be yes, a white lawyer can belong, and a black lawyer can belong; and, no, it’s not a racist organization that discriminates against people of other races.
To belong to a group like that, you have to join either the Ku Klux Klan or the Republican Party.

Hey Liar, let me know when the GOP nominates, let alone puts a minority in the White House. Hmmmm…BTW, which party is going to nominate a White Guy who beat the tar out of, by way of insulting, minority candidates?
Between the House and the Senate there are 79 Democratic women and 29 Republican women. Wow, that’s a big spread.
Between the House and the Senate there are 81 Minority Democrats and a paltry 16 Minority Republicans. Wow, that’s an even bigger spread.
But somehow a Liar like you looks at a Black Democratic President and says, AHA, they didn’t have a minority this cycle and they are probably going to nominate a woman so naturally the GOP is the TRUE party of diversity.
Not only are you a confirmed liar you are really, epically, stupid.

As far as I know, and I guess I should mention that my wife is of mixed-race Latino heritage (but it isn’t very important to her personally), here in North America the term La Raza may be and often is used to describe all the various non-European Hispanic or Latino people in pretty much the whole western hemisphere. But it seems it does get complicated. In some parts of South America the term may refer exclusively to the indigenous people. Furthermore, in parts of the U. S. Southwest politically active people of direct Mexican ancestry prefer that the term refer to them exclusively. Of course it translates to “the race” which is pretty self explanatory.
So however you choose to slice it, La Raza is no more evil or bad or “guilty” or connotative of anything than any other vague racial or ethnic descriptor. As such it’s clear that there exists some group of people somewhere sharing some general racial or ethnic characteristics, not known to him personally, but nonetheless hated by Puddy for those characteristics.
That’s what scientists call pure distilled racism.
That Fuckwad is really quite something.

The loon is posting quite a bit of head explosions for a Friday. He and his doomsday cult must have fucked a lot of goats last Saturday night. Either that or it’s what Hillary did to Trump yesterday. She sliced and diced that motherfucker real good.
Distant Replay spews:
“That’s he’s an official card carrying member of La Raza Lawyers of SoCal? Anyone who associates with that phrase and what La Raza has done to blacks in LA and SoCal has no respect from Puddy!”
So pretty much every single Latino in the Western Hemisphere has no respect from that Fuckwad. And that includes at least one Indiana native son who put his life on the line to keep Americans safe from international drug cartels.
This is your political party now, Bob.
How’s that going?

Former boxer Muhammad Ali has died.

@156 Having grown up during the Vietnam war, been drafted and served, I remember Ali as a hero. I always did. He was a man of principle, courage and justice. And cripes, could he fight! But he also made me laugh out loud. No matter how tough he tried to look, his light always shown through. There will never be another.
I feel very sad for his family.

In the ring, he was tough enough to take on all comers.
As a kid, I didn’t appreciate his big mouth. There were enough big mouths in the schoolyard, enough big mouths to last a lifetime. But in time I saw he backed up every word in the ring.. Every word.
Respect. RIP Champ.

Wow poor checkmate (Puddy’s latest HA BITCH) still can’t find the audio. So what does checkmate do? Pull a R senile. Call Puddy all the names you want checkmate. Can’t figger out the clues that would lead checkmate right to it. Puddy gave the BITCH the date and the station and where to find it. Still sux like evah!
Where did Puddy say that @151 BITCH? Where has checkmate ever said anything about La Raza ethnic cleansing in LA and SoCal? Has checkmate ever chastised the salt mining fetid clueless monomaniacal yellowishleakingbuttspigot arschloch jackASS for its love of La Raza, the Aztlan philosophy, or the La Reconquista philosophy it espouses on this blog over the years? Or how Marvin Stamn exposed the salt mining fetid clueless monomaniacal yellowishleakingbuttspigot arschloch jackASS over its North Pasadena ant-black commentary? NOPE!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

@1 What choice does the man have? We aren’t a parliamentary system where he would be the man and can ignore to some extent the President or figure head, However we are a party system enough so if he can’t or won’t endorese his parties candidate for President he should step down as speaker. This would go for Nancy Pelosi if Democratic candidate were Donald Trump. Endorse or step down is the real choice for the Speaker or head of the minority party.

@47 Sorry it’s going to be the marvelous Meer Kats and Prairie Dogs who take over.

@66 They and you are taking certain things out of context. First this is only covering one type of tax. The federal income tax and only personal taxes. This isn’t all taxes. Or even all the Federal tax an individual pays. It doesn’t include social security, gas taxes, excise taxes, ect.
Of course it leaves out the fact that individuals in each tax bracket pay an equal amount of tax. So no one in the top 1% pays anymore tax than someone else in each bracket. The 1% is simply in more brackets. If anything this chart shows the top 25% are not paying enough tax. They should be paying a much higher amount of their income in tax. There is no reason one person should earn more and keep more just because they are fortunate. Someone earning below a certain amount should not be taxed on their income. There is also an amount that is more than what one could spend in a life time and it definitely should be heavily taxed.
Mark Adams spews:
@67 Clearly dearest Kat you were already a member and enjoy the feeling of a good sting.
It’s always a good day to see some Supremists have a sense of humor. If only Uncle Adolf had had such a sense of humor he might have been able to harness the white Russians and had a real go of things in the Soviet Union.
I think Uncle Adolf wouldn’t like the T-shirts though, it’s a branding thing. They should be in the approved uniform for the youth of the Fatherland.

@72 Your talking about how they choose school books in Texas. It’s not entirely a Republican or Democrat thing in Texas though it’s a Republican state as of late. Still the Democrats there are not fire breathing liberals.
Still it’s Texas and there is a Texan state of mind. Guns, extreme private property rights, and big hats. Not to mention the football.
We don’t know if Sheldon Cooper’s mom is a Democrat or Republican. I’m afraid to find out, but she is 100% Texan.
Mark Adams spews:
@82 The President should have acted to hold up the treaty obligations of the treaty the US, Russia and Ukraine signed when the Ukraine gave up thousands of nuclear warheads and their political integrity was guaranteed. Perhaps he should have considered giving the Ukranians a few warheads with some sort of delivery system.
Would help to get Ukraine’s economy started, contain the corruption, and curtail Ukraine’s dependence on Russian gas. Maybe the Bush administration could have started with these items.
Mark Adams spews:
@123 Of course you couldn’t be a member of any of those organizations you mentioned as they are not Republican. They are not conservative organizations. And your church membership should prevent you from becoming a member of those organizations as you are supposed to be a conscientious objector.
Ever had an urge to join as I bet someone on the list could hook you right up. Stokley Carmichael would be proud of you being a strong African American man.
