What? When did the Biden administration change the methodology behind measuring unemployment?

> Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic.
> Baloney. Do our computer pundits lack all common sense? The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.
Telecommuting workers is reality. Interactive libraries are a reality. Multimedia classrooms have been a reality for over a decade. Electronic town meetings, maybe not, but virtual communities? Very much a reality. Malls are dead and brick and mortar has been hurt extensively by Amazon. Offices lay empty due to remote work.
Newspapers are largely dead, at the very least compared to what they once were. There is plenty of online learning, largely without in person learning. Computer networks have definitely changed how the government works.
Like, even when I’m around extended family that says love you, I just feel awkward and almost forced to respond with love you too back to them. Like I care for them of course…but I would never say I love you to one of them without them saying it to me first.
Like, my best friends, I love them in a sense I guess…but I wouldn’t say that. It just doesn’t feel natural to me. I’d characterize our relationship as close, and that I care about them a lot, but “love” isn’t something that comes to mind outside of my parents or someone I’ve been in a long term relationship with.
I’m not sure why. Maybe it has to do with being an only child. Maybe it has to do with all my grandparents dying when I was young, and not being that close with extended family, so there was never really anyone to love outside of my parents for the vast majority of my life prior to any long term relationships.
As a side note, a lot of these spam emails I get are from Gmail.
Literal gibberish.
What you are describing is a fiscal multiplier which is the change in national income via government spending, or a money multiplier from a central bank.
What actually happens in the scenario described is deadweight loss. Consumers spend more to obtain less goods. See figure 1.

Increasing productivity is a good thing actually.
It looks like they may traditionally buy these types of drugs around this time of the year. Here’s one from 6 years ago.
Quite evidently Ukrainians do not believe themselves to be Russian, are actively resisting Russian occupation, and will continue to until they fully push the incompetent Russian military off their land or Russia strikes a peace deal.
Ukrainian cities and apartment complexes have very much been struck by Russian cruise missiles and artillery. Russia has destroyed Ukrainian dams and power plants.
Truth be told, no one cares what you think in Russia. Ukrainians don’t see themselves as Russian, they see themselves as a separate people, and they will continue to be one since Russia is incapable of fielding a competent army.
If 16 or so HIMARS are so capable of destroying Russian ammo depots, why would the US be scared of Russia when they have 380 or so HIMARS in possession? Not to mention the US Air Force and Navy is so far beyond their Russian equivalents it’s like comparing an MMA fighter to a 5 year old child at karate for the first time. Russia hasn’t even deployed Su-57s or T-14s because they largely do not exist outside of useless prototypes. The US has 300+ F-35s and 180+ F-22s that are leaps and bounds better than anything Russia is flying, not to mention the fuck ton of F-15s and F-16s still in use.
And that’s just the USA. Fold the entirety of NATO into the equation and it’s obvious the Russian military does not hold the faintest thread to the US or NATO as a whole. Poland would crush Russia 1v1. The only thing Russia has going for it is nukes. Without them, it’s just a corrupt, broken, weak regional power. That’s really all it is with them.

Supply side effects of the Berlin rent freeze
Abstract - We find rent decreases accompanied by decreases in supply five times as large. We further investigate spillover effects on the purchase market, regionally heterogeneous effects as well as different effects by dwelling characteristics. We find the rent freeze did not have spillover effects on dwellings for sale which point to a ‘wait-and-see-attitude’ on the investors’ side. We make use of a rich dataset of real estate advertisements and employ hedonic difference-in-difference and triple-difference estimation strategies.
For example, you have r/neoliberal on Reddit. There users are overwhelmingly in favor of YIMBY policies (zoning reform, banning single family zoning, focusing on high density coupled with public transit), getting rid of the Jones act, pro free trade, automating ports, pro carbon tax, etc. while also being very liberal/progressive (imo) on most social issues.
So, while not necessarily extreme left or right, they have views that would be relatively extreme compared to the average voter, namely views on housing and trade.
For those that don’t know what Column is.
Does HIV already have treatments/prophylaxis available that can extremely reduce the chance you get HIV or spread it, unlike COVID? Yes.
Are thousands of people in first world countries dying everyday from AIDS? Are tens of thousands of these people contracting HIV everyday? Can you get HIV from standing five feet away from someone infected? No to all the above.
So do you have any actual reasoning, or are you just concern trolling that since it happened for a completely different situation, this would be “forced” on us.
