The number of small to medium businesses started in the last four years has created a employee shortage. Retail, food/Bev and hospitality employers will feel the pain first when attempting to find quality employees. An additional 7-8 million workers have chosen entrepreneurship since 2019.

I do NOT want to admit this but you are correct. This one hurts….. I looked further and it seems to be very bad handoffs like a dropped relay baton. Make it go away..

Best economy in the world.

We can discuss what Americans pay for goods compared to the rest of the free world, but you’re smart enough to know that won’t work out for your narrative.

Good luck with your dream of toppling the two party system. I'll stick without the one that at least has a few fiscal conservatives left.

We both know they lie using conservative labels. They don’t follow their basic Bible beliefs and follow any yellow toothed person whose complexion suits their palette.

California Reveals All Job Gains In 2023 Were Fake | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

www.zerohedge.com

According to the latest report published by the non-partisan California Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) which is an agency of the California government, is overseen by the Joint Legislative Budget Committee of the California State Legislature, and performs and publishes extensive analyses of the state's budget in addition to providing fiscal and policy advice to the California Legislature, contrary to prior reports of over substantial job gains in the deep blue state in 2023, the reality was far uglier.

In a report titled "Newest Early Jobs Revision Shows No Net Job Growth During 2023" we learn just that: the Early Revisions to state-level data flagged here previously, suggests that California actually lost jobs during the fourth quarter of last year. As the report details, "based on the most recent release of the early benchmarks, payroll jobs declined by 32,000 from September 2023 through December 2023. On the contrary, the preliminary monthly reports showed a solid increase in job growth (+117,000 jobs) at the time."
