Grow Season!🌲

More jobs.

With all the good news, there's bad news!

President Joe Biden was in Ohio today to address the jobs report. He went to Hamilton, Ohio, a growing city in Republican friendly Butler County.

Let's start with the rising gas prices. On average, American motorists are paying over $4.00 a gallon for gasoline and over $5.55 a gallon for diesel.

Food is shrinking in their products and are raising their prices.

The cost of rent, heat, energy, used cars, streaming platforms, travel and tolls are rising.

Over 4.5 million Americans quit their jobs at free will because of the wages. The amount of jobs are plentiful but they aren't paying a decent living wage.

Of course, the stock market. The issues here and abroad has caused the uncertainty of trade.

Over 1.03 million Americans are dead from the coronavirus.

The Democrats have passed a legislative agenda that helps the middle class. The House of Representatives have solutions to paying down debt, decreasing inflation and lowering gas prices. It's stalled in the Senate because of the 60 vote majority. Republicans refuse to support the agenda. Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ) are headaches as well as the do-nothings in the Squad. The Democratic senators will not relinquish their support of keeping the filibuster in place. The House members are making it harder to get the message out because they are throwing up distractions.

The Republicans are embracing culture wars from abortion, transgender girls and women in sports, claiming Democrats want to defund the police, complaining about the U.S.-Mexican border, complaining about social media bans and Biden's mental fitness.

They have no solutions to solving the problems in the country.

We're on the verge of the Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade. The landmark decision now had protesters angry at the six radical far-right justices. A leaked draft of the decision was confirmed by the Court and now pro-choice women across the country and Republican governors are waiting for the end game.

Harris works behind the scenes to push Democrats.

Ukraine has been knocked off the junk food media's topic. Although it is still an ongoing situation, our domestic problems at home became electrified by the culture wars here in the United States.

So the April job numbers show that the economy is booming despite the negative.

America’s labor market maintained its strong momentum in April, as the U.S. economy added 428,000 jobs — above the consensus estimate of 395,000. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.6 percent.

Average hourly earnings for workers climbed by 0.3 percent month-on-month, a slower pace than the 0.5 percent seen last month. Year-on-year, earnings were up 5.5 percent, compared with an inflation rate of 8.2 percent. That means many workers, even if employed, may not be benefiting from the post-pandemic economic recovery.

The data will most likely keep pressure on the Federal Reserve to act aggressively to pull inflation down from 8 percent to 2 percent.

Economists believe the Fed is likely to raise rates by another 0.5 percent in June. In a news conference Wednesday following the Fed's announcement of a 0.5 percent interest rate increase for May, Chairman Jerome Powell noted that labor demand remained "very strong," while labor supply remained subdued.

"Employers are having difficulties filling job openings, and wages are rising at the fastest pace in many years," Powell said.

The factors that led to the so-called Great Resignation — too-low wages, federal economic stimulus, higher savings and workers seeking to avoid in-person jobs amid the pandemic — appear to be persisting.

Now, to fight inflation, Powell and the Fed are seeking to guide economic growth down to a trend where workers would keep their existing jobs while businesses would announce fewer job openings. This week, the U.S. Department of Labor announced job openings had increased from 11.3 million to 11.5 million in April — a new all-time high.

To fill those openings, employers have been increasing wages — something that is designed to bring more workers into the labor force.

But Friday's data showed that may no longer be working — the pace of people rejoining the labor force fell in April. Meanwhile, the rate of individuals transitioning from being out of the labor force entirely to having a job declined for the third straight month, something that hasn't happened since the economy went into its pandemic-induced recession in the spring of 2020.

Friday's data also showed the pace of hiring slowed in retail; leisure; professional and business services; and administrative and support services.

The Republicans only care about culture wars and obstructionism.

After a dramatic sell-off Thursday, stocks opened Friday trading down more than 1 percent, a sign markets may also be seeing signs of cooling.

The overall mixed data in Friday's report have resulted in economists differing on what it means next for the Fed, and the U.S. economy more broadly.

In a note to clients following Friday's jobs numbers, Pantheon Macroeconomics Chief Economist Ian Shepherdson said that if wage numbers keep showing "meaningful slowing," the urgency on the Fed to slow inflation may not be as great as feared.

"The relative softness has now persisted for three months, and it’s starting to look like a trend," he said.

But Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, sees sustained pressure on the Fed to keep raising rates, noting that despite their recent slowdown in growth, wages are still climbing at a much faster pace than before the pandemic.

"With labor market conditions still this strong — including very rapid wage growth — we doubt that the Fed is going to abandon its hawkish plans because of the current bout of weakness in equities," he wrote.

President Joe Biden's headaches:

1. The Karens in the Republican House and Senate.
2. Two Democratic senators and one independent senator who is a democratic socialist.
3. The members of The Squad and Progressive Caucus.
4. The junk food media and their never ending dramatizing of world events.
5. Anti-Vaxxers. 
6. Lawmakers and activists who protest the CDC guidelines during the pandemic.
7. The endless culture wars that Republicans find outrage in.
8. Washed Up 45 and his minions on Fox, Newsmax, OANN and the internet.
9. Facebook and TikTok and the idiots who run it and the idiots who post on it.
10. Fox, The Daily Mail, Newsmax and OANN's relentless talk about conspiracies, Hunter Biden and his health.
11. The relentless talk about spending despite the former president's reckless things.
12. Gun violence in the country and Congress refusal to do something about it.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

They have an agenda. It passes the House only to die in the Senate.

Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. Companies are struggling to find workers. They are now trying to push incentives to get workers in.

Things are slowly returning back to normal. However we're still not out of the woods yet.

Over 86% of Americans have at least gotten one of the coronavirus vaccines. Millions of Americans refusing to be vaccinated which will lead to the coronavirus being resistant to vaccines. As it mutates into a deadly strain, folks who refuse to follow the CDC guidelines will eventually turn it into a super-pandemic in which those who come into contact with an infected asymptomatic person could trigger the mass destruction of the human race.

Biden had hopes that Americans would take this shit seriously. Unfortunately, Republicans so fucking eager to return to power will keep Americans fixated on the culture wars. Now vaccinations are part of this culture war.

But those fighting the culture war by not vaccinating, not wearing face mask in public, not following protocols, and deliberately ignoring federal and international rules when traveling are going to be the first casualties of the war. 

With this pandemic mostly affecting states where Republican governors are, we may have to return to wearing facial protection and cutting back services to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.

We came so far only to have a bunch of selfish idiots set it back. Only because of their hatred of Biden and people who support him, Republicans have attacked reality as we know it.

Companies are still trying to hire employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour.

Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.

Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.

These two will not be looked upon favorably in history.

We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being 1 and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.

Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.

Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.

Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience. 

Washed Up 45's presidency and Republican controlled governments killed millions of Americans. Biden has a slim majority in Congress and things can't be done with obstruction from both parties.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions. 

We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
