En France, pour avoir le , il faut maintenant 2 emplois :

  • celui imposé pour toucher le RSA
  • celui de chercheur d'emploi (ça prend aussi beaucoup plus de temps que de traverser la rue 😡 )

@MikeDunnAuthor what I think about whenever I listen to economists wondering why everyone is so down on the economy these days. Gee it's a real mystery

Great argument for rent control

@pinskal
However, even with rent control in san francisco, Berkeley, and several other cities, housing is still unaffordable and homelessness rampant.

@MikeDunnAuthor the people in power ESPECIALLY the right, need us to work non stop so they can do whatever they want without our knowledge

@MikeDunnAuthor The reportage around employment statistics is so horrifically dishonest it frightens me that people are fooled by it.

For starters there are six "unemployment rates" in common use. Only the least useful one of those is held up by "leaders" tooting their own horns.

I think the current version should be:

Politician: Economy is working great, we generated 300 billion dollars of profit.

Billionaire: Yes and I got 25 billions of them.

@MikeDunnAuthor Breaks my heart, the truth of this. Ultimately this “growth-based economy” is a pyramid scheme of global size. The younger generations will bear the brunt of its failure.
I’ve given up on thinking we can fix it, but the very least we can do is respect one another for being who we choose to be under the circumstances. That means everyone.

I agree. We're measuring the wrong things to determine economic health.
