was at the walmart just now, these redhats are really taking the "no mask" re-opening thing rather politically. Second wave guaranteed.

Well that is quite the surprise now isn't it? Let me be clear when I state that I don't believe this number for one god damn second. It's made up to try and explain why the market keeps roaring towards new highs while the main street economy is in the shitter. We all know why this is the case. Wall Street and Main street are in total disconnect, and the one does not even remotely reflect what's going on in the other. This is almost as insulting to our intelligence as telling us that Hillary was the most qualified candidate in history, almost. Complete and total bullshit.
A lot of states re-opened in May and the they hired many of their non-essential retail workers back. Plus many states opened eat-in-dining at 50% capacity. This may have something to do with it.
whoa, consensus agreement thing is, we've seen the weekly numbers, we'd have seen some correlation. I don't know enough about how these NFP numbers are calculated but don't buy it. Correction statement imminent.
This is how they manipulate the numbers. Jobs added should be confined to NEW hires, not calling people back. It's a shell game.
