The Economy

LLCox said:
A President has VERY little effect on the economy except to sign into legislation regulations which strangle small business and give Big Biz another loophole (which is done by both parties). BUT EVERY President takes credit for a good economy and blows a bad economy off on the last President. if you don't believe me Google it or make little smilie smirks.

Little effect???

🤔

Selecting SCOTUS members that decide MASSIVELY important economic, etc, issues???

Championing and signing MASSIVELY important economic tax policies, etc, into law???

🤔

😑
 
Another economic disaster mismanaged by the Biden/Harris cabal is about to unfold on the American people with the Port Workers Strike. The union is lying to its members about greedy shipping companies being awash in cash. The shipping industry is highly competitive and a "low margin" business model. We can thank Joe Biden's inflationary spending policies for this strike and other calamities to come.

Talk to me about the last massive economic issue the SC decided. Tax policies have nothing to do with me.

Meanwhile, back in the reality-based world, the cash-flush port management companies and the unions came to a tentative agreement for union workers to go back to work tomorrow after management offered a $4 per hour raise every single year for six consecutive years, raising the starting hourly wage for union workers from $39 to $43 per hour immediately. The rank and file has until January 15th to ratify the deal.

And the best part is the Department of Labor didn't even need to get involved! See what happens when management and unions negotiate in good faith?

Go get upset about something else.

The greed upon 62% increase over 6 years, four dollars per hour each year, to suspend the strike until January will only increase the inflation we all feel going forward.

"The union is demanding a 77% raise over six years, or the equivalent of a $5 increase per hour for each year of the contract. Under the union's proposal, workers would make $44 for the first year of the contract, $49 for the second and up to $69 in its final year."

"That top-tier hourly wage of $39 amounts to just over $81,000 annually, but dockworkers can make significantly more by taking on extra shifts. For example, according to a 2019-20 annual report from the Waterfront Commission of New York Harbor, about one-third of local longshoremen made $200,000 or more a year."

"A more typical longshoreman's salary can exceed $100,000, but not without logging substantial overtime hours. Daggett, the ILA president, maintains that these higher earners work up to 100 hours a week."

"For his part, Daggett made $728,694 in 2023 as ILA president and an additional $173,040 as president emeritus of the mechanics local chapter at Port Newark in New Jersey, according to documents filed with the Department of Labor."

Yep starvation wages, right? BTW, "the profit margins of container carriers have decreased significantly, from their peak of 57.4 percent in the first quarter of 2021 to 8.9 percent in the second quarter of 2023"

Trump losing ground with women on economy, poll shows
An American University poll shows a majority of women trust Harris over Trump to address inflation and bring down the cost of living.

Not only do women prefer Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump by 15 percentage points, according to a new poll. They are starting to give Harris the edge on one of his strongest issues — the economy.

An American University poll, shared first with POLITICO, found that a majority of women trust Harris over Trump to address inflation and bring down the cost of living. Another 46 percent prefer Harris over Trump to handle the economy, while 38 percent prefer Trump on it. Nearly two-thirds of the women surveyed said inflation and the economy were the most important issue for them as they decided on their vote.

Most polls use self-identification to determine gender. If someone says they’re a woman, they’re counted as a woman. It’s a good system. More people should use it.
 
Will the dock workers support Harris now?
$4 more per hour immediately and every year for a few years?
Did ‘rump’ say anything about the union asking for more? Did it jibe with his talk with Musk?

  • But...but...but... cat litter boxes in high school bathrooms?
  • Random Rightguide non-sequitur

Ah, I see: "Before adjustments, the private sector shed 458,000 jobs in September. Government employment, on the other hand, jumped by an unadjusted 918,000."

I don’t know why you post disinformation so often. It just makes you look stupid.

Actual job creation by industry:

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 254,000 in September, higher than the average monthly gain of 203,000 over the prior 12 months. In September, employment continued to trend up in food services and drinking places, health care, government, social assistance, and construction. (See table B-1.)

Employment in food services and drinking places rose by 69,000 in September, well above the average monthly gain of 14,000 over the prior 12 months.

Health care added 45,000 jobs in September, below the average monthly gain of 57,000 over the prior 12 months. Over the month, employment rose in home health care services (+13,000), hospitals (+12,000), and nursing and residential care facilities (+9,000).

Employment in government continued its upward trend in September (+31,000). Government had an average monthly gain of 45,000 jobs over the prior 12 months. Over the month, employment continued to trend up in local government (+16,000) and state government (+13,000).

Construction employment continued to trend up in September (+25,000), similar to the average monthly gain over the prior 12 months (+19,000). Over the month, nonresidential specialty trade contractors added 17,000 jobs.
