Using climate-loon's "math"-----Media Lies: Those January Jobs Gains Never Happened STEPHEN GREEN

Media Lies: Those January Jobs Gains Never Happened STEPHEN GREEN
  • When are 335,000 new jobs not 335,000 new jobs? When Washington makes them up and the media dutifully report them with all due breathlessness...
The U.S. created an extraordinary number of jobs in January. Here's a deeper look. —NPR
U.S. employment soars by 353,000, stunning Wall Street. —MarketWatch...
So how did the BLS come up with 335,000 new jobs when the Household Survey showed a net loss of 31,000? For that, let's go to Seeking Alpha:

The BLS also publishes the data behind their Birth/Death assumptions. January is always a big drop, but this was smaller than last year (-144k in Jan 2023 vs. -121k in Jan 2024). Birth/death specifically refers to assumptions made about new business being formed.

"Birth/Death assumptions" means just that. 
The BLS assumes that so many jobs were created or destroyed and (kind of) fixes the imaginary numbers when the real data come in. 
Now you know why jobs always seem to get revised downward. 
  • Seeking Alpha adds that "many believe the Household survey is a more accurate measure of employment when compared to the headline number."
No kidding.

The Moral Hazard Of An Open Border I & I Editorial Board

The Moral Hazard Of An Open Border I & I Editorial Board 
"...It might seem that the most ethical and decent path we can take is to fully open our country to economic refugees who simply want to live better lives and are willing to work for them. 
  • But following that course creates a moral hazard, because as long as entry into the U.S. is a pressure release valve for countries where millions are mired in perpetual, handed-down poverty, those nations have no incentive to liberalize their economies and root out the government corruption that limits prosperity to only a select few. 
  • They can continue to send their “tempest-tost” homeless and poor to America and not concern themselves with the hard labor needed to fix their problems, or worry about staying in power.
  • Their benign neglect, and in some cases outright depravity, condemns countless future generations to lives of squalor and desperation.

U.N. 'secretly working with banks' to destroy American food industry

U.N. 'secretly working with banks' to destroy American food industry

The report explained the banks use the U.N.'s "Marxist 'environmental, social, and corporate governance' (ESG) criteria to score and penalize farmers." They found that those farmers not sufficiently "woke," that is, using methods and processes that are not ESG-approved, have their accounts shut down without notice, the report said.

"And if Siemens Energy Chairman Joe Kaeser told The Telegraph, “Every transformation comes at a cost and every transformation is painful. 
And that’s something that the energy industry and the public sector - governments - don’t really want to hear.” 
  • Then are governments accurately anticipating the cost of the energy transition?

Californians shocked by electric bills after rate hike: 'Like you're getting punished' | Fox News

Californians shocked by electric bills after rate hike: 'Like you're getting punished' | Fox News

Some California residents are "stunned" by the high cost of their latest electric and gas bill, after a major utility company raised prices for millions of customers last month.

"It’s almost like you’re getting punished," 90-year-old Dorothy Lovell told The San Francisco Chronicle. The Santa Rosa resident's utility bill was $696.64 in January.

"I really was not prepared," longtime San Francisco resident Rebecca Gallegos told the paper after her bill increased by $162 from the month prior. "I’m blown away."

Without a new law?!!

Mainstream science mulls 'global moratorium' on COVID vaccines as cancers rise, boosters flub | Just The News
"Calling for governments to enact a "global moratorium" on COVID-19 mRNA vaccines could have been a death sentence for a scientist's career not long ago. 
Now it opens the door to a prestigious science publisher.
The Springer Nature medical journal Cureus, sibling to Nature and Scientific American, published a peer-reviewed paper by high-profile mRNA vaccine critics last month, showing the growing mainstream openness to data and arguments once nitpicked if not ignored by publishers and suppressed by academia and Big Tech...

Pure evil!

Top Senate Democrat lets the truth slip about the so-called border bill: 'The border never fully closes' | Blaze Media

Top Senate Democrat lets the truth slip about the so-called border bill: 'The border never fully closes' | Blaze Media

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) admitted the controversial bill that will allegedly stymie the border crisis won't actually close the border. On Sunday, the Senate released the full text of the bipartisan Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which would cost taxpayers $118 billion. More than half of that money ($60 billion, which is more than the entire budget of the U.S. Marine Corps), would be sent to Ukraine, while just $20 billion would be spent on the border crisis. The most controversial and debated provisions of the bill center on how many migrants can be allowed into the U.S. before the president can "shut down" the border.

Answer three questions, and you get immediate Asylum.

Answer three questions, and you get immediate Asylum.

Primetime read the border bill so you don’t have to and we found that it wouldn’t stop a single migrant from breaking into our country. So what’s the $20 billion for? Processing illegals, handouts and loopholes.
