| They better be good job numbers. |
The latest jobs report for the month of January. Since the U.S. government constantly delayed the job report, because of the government shutdown and the president's failure to admit our country is on the decline, we are not going to get accurate numbers.
Days of decline are ahead.
- Free and fair elections are degraded;
- Liberal rights of freedom of speech, press and association decline, impairing the ability of the political opposition to challenge the government, hold it to account, and propose alternatives to the current regime;
- The rule of law (i.e., judicial and bureaucratic restraints on the government) is weakened, such as when the independence of the judiciary is threatened, or when civil service tenure protections are weakened or eliminated.
- An over-emphasis on national security as response to acts of terrorism or perceived antagonists.
- Politicians can't agree on funding essential needs and services which trigger spiteful pain on the citizens.
How many (up to 3 deaths or injuries) shootings?
1,366 homicides and 2,234 shootings.
How many mass shootings?
45 mass shootings.
How many school shootings?
1 school shootings.
How many religious institution shootings?
1 religious institutions.
How many civilians killed by police?
103 people killed by police.
How many police officers killed by civilians, animals or nature?

The safety net prevents a person from robbing you of your luxuries.
The safety net is only 10% of the federal spending. The way some people put it, 50% of the federal spending goes to food stamps and welfare. Some people believe that the safety net is making people lazy. And this is the stuff I've heard from people who think that it will never happen to them. They get their arousal over a person using an EBT card to pay for name brand items or expensive food.
With the rising food and gas prices, people are turning to food stamps, food banks and government assistance to keep themselves from landing in the homeless shelter.
Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for a potential economic recession.
Real Reasons To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is! The main reasons why some are not working.
- DEAD
- BORN
- IN PRISON
- IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
- IN MIDDLE SCHOOL
- IN HIGH SCHOOL
- IN COLLEGE FULL TIME
- VOLUNTEER
- DISABLED
- INFLATION
- STAY AT HOME PARENT
- LACK OF TRANSPORTATION OR BABYSITTING
- RETIRED
- QUIT ON THEIR OWN
- TERMINATED FROM EMPLOYMENT
- NOT HIRING UNQUALIFIED
- NOT HIRING TOO QUALIFIED
- ACTIVE MILITARY
- NATURAL DISASTERS
- MASS SHOOTINGS DISRUPTING DAILY ROUTINE
- RACISM
- WAGE THEFT
- TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE ON JOB POSTING BUT DECEPTION UPON HIRING
- BEING LAID OFF DUE TO CLOSING OR STAFF REDUCTION
- DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY OR PROPRETY
- OUTSOURCING JOBS TO OTHER STATES OR COUNTRIES
- BEING UNDOCUMENTED IN FEAR OF I.C.E. OR U.S. AGENCIES
- BEING PUBLICLY OUTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA DOING SHAMEFUL ACTS
- PARTICIPATING IN UNCIVIL OR VIOLENT PROTESTS
- PUBLICLY SUPPORTING OR PROTESTING AGAINST ISRAEL
Companies are cautious about hiring employees. Because of the Trump administration rolling back DEI and arresting undocumented workers, employers are struggling to keep employees. It puts more stress on the workers, managers and suppliers.
With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to work at jobs 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. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.
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.
Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid.
Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. You want no more qualified immunity for police officers who use deadly force when it's not justified. Let them know that deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want the U.S. to improve the immigration process. You want the U.S. lawmakers stop dehumanizing human beings. You want the U.S. to prove to the world its a beacon of freedom. You want our American military and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents out of our cities, the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that you tired of being lectured about oppresive regimes overseas when the very people running our state and federal government are doing the same in real time. Let them know that you will not tolerate a government shutdown which affects federal services for Americans in need or in support of services. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism because you support the freedom of Palestinians. You are tired of the propaganda being forced on your media platforms.We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire, a weapons embargo, sanctions and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more domestic or foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists and special interest groups.
