Regardless of the run off, the lack of stimulus now will cause biden to walk into an absolute fukking shot storm.... which unfortunately he will be blames for :francis:


From here - inauguration will be very interesting.

increase in hospitalization -> shut downs will prob be the deciding factor is stim is passed, & which states that happen in.

im not sure tbh

the country cant get worse, its getting better. unemployment was 10, and now its in the 6s, and thatll only go down with holiday hiring. and next year we'll have the vaccine and shyt will open up, and biden will take credit for all of that :jawalrus:

The unemployment rate is seasonally adjusted so holiday hiring is a null point.

Good unemployment number but we are still up there with the historic worse.
Unemployment Rate

& in terms of "permanent" unemployment, we are still above the 08' apex.
Continued Claims (Insured Unemployment)

I think assuming a vaccine is coming is just a bit too confident. I'm aware we have some of the most brilliant minds & "unlimited" recourses but I am personally not sold until the p2/3 data comes out.

My TDRL: 2021 will give us more color of the 5-year outlook of the country/world than 2020 could ever give us, & people should be prepared for a "worse" & "best" case as equally possible. A lot of people are getting wild up around massive beats on unemployment data without understanding context, or even understand a lot of them are on a MoM basis :dead:

I'm up 50% :obama:

"What were your down last month" :lupe:

"50%":mjcry:

"Oh so you down 25% from the jump":mjgrin:

Like this chart give you the feeling we doing GREAT
United States Personal Spending | 1959-2020 Data | 2021-2022 Forecast | Calendar

You actually do the math we still -6% from 2019 year end :hubie:

I'm not trying to be doom & gloom but there is a complete lack of discounting of the possibility that things don't go 100% perfect, and that's scary.

It can and will get worse

Stores will be closed by the holidays which will negate your holiday hire scenario

Hospitalizations will be up with flu season in addition to rona

Reporter on CNN was talking about IF Trump wants to prove that he has some type of empathy and to do something positive to end his presidency on a good note for the history books, is to push for a big stimulus bill before the end of the year.

The question is will an evil person like Trump think about doing something like that?

I can't see it.

Do something nice and get nothing in return?

Have they been paying attention? The man got impeached for trying to trade favors

@the cac mamba skinny bill incoming :whew:

only two things are about to happen here: a 700 billion dollar bill that none of you are gonna like, or nothing at all passing :dead:

i mean seriously. for everyone of the fukkin clowns in here crying about how mnuchin's 1.8 trillion wasnt enough and cheering marie anoinette turning it down, get ready to be sorely disappointed
