Is this accurate? What a mess! The Bureau of Labor and Statistics job revisions shows wildly inconsistent employment data. How could anyone keep a job with this record? 2022: +568K jobs added [emoji3595]after benchmark (Mar 2022 vs. prior estimate) Despite a +568K adjustment in 2022, the next 1 million+ jobs were effectively erased by later revisions. Apr 2023–Mar 2024: –818K jobs revised downward [emoji3596] May–June 2025: net revision of –258K [emoji3596]jobs (May: +144K→+19K; June: +147K→+14K)

It's unbelievable. He obviously did this without even looking at the data himself. There are some wingers that will just go along with him and assume that the person fired " must have" had a liberal agenda and fabricated the data. Hopefully that's only the most extreme wingers like @JimmySpeaks Gives me a slight amount of hope for the wingers that not too many of them are supporting this move

I suspect that what takes @Wrestleknownothing a couple of minutes may take most of us hours. That's probably due to either talent, experience, or both. I own a machine shop in PA and like nothing better than seeing some of my best employees watching YouTube videos while the 5 axis mills they've programmed are making all of us lots of money. Wrestleknownothing is the Joe Dimaggio of this forum perhaps. Makes the difficult look easy.

Maybe Next Time You Will Estimate Me Trivia

Ahh yes. The null seed got me. Good catch. -
But no particular research that you can think of that you think would be worth reading? I am capable of changing my mind. In fact diet soda was something I’ve even changed my mind on previously. I used to think it was just as bad if not worse than regular soda. But there are several studies showing that’s not the case. Sure seems like whatever harm is in the “chemicals” in diet soda, the ~40g of sugar and ~140 empty calories in soda are probably worse

It was meant to price blacks out of the labor market. There very much is a racial component to the minimum wage.

Studying butt loads of research over the years, personal experience, and common sense.

Data wizards beware! Yes I heard that and thought it sounded rather dumb.

This is pretty dumb on so many levels. Some might say this is "a level of dumb, the likes of which has never been seen." Oh, and petty, too. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/trump-erika-mcentarfer-jobs-report-fired.html If you do not like the numbers just fire the person in charge of assembling the numbers, but only after you cut the size of their department and make it harder to assemble the numbers. After all Trump has zero interest in accuracy, only advocacy. If you are not faking the numbers in his favor, then you have to go. The only sin that cannot be forgiven is the appearance of not licking his boots. Mind you, nowhere does Trump say any numbers were faked, just that if you are Donald Trump these numbers do not push his narrative, so they must be fake. There can be no other explanation. You know, 'cause the narrative is always the truth. Oh, and he just created some more unemployment in the process. Doh.

Teequavious Mills will be there also, brother to Antonio and Ariah. Will be a SR as well. If Mizzou can somehow land Ariah, I would be thrilled. Still a long ways to go for that, but I can dream. I’m sure every big name college are already licking their chops at a chance to land him. I don’t have Rokfin but I believe Willie has Ariah as the #1 incoming freshman overall.

CA min wage for restaurant workers
reversaloffortune replied to mspart's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
The prevailing myth among conservatives that minimum wage wasn't meant to be a living wage is patently false. The entire purpose of the Minimum Wage Act of 1938 was to ensure employers provided a minimum livable wage. -
Well I’m honestly curious what your opinion was based on, other than “just knowledge”
-
If there is more money floating around (via higher minimum wage) what happens to the price of commodities and housing? They charge what the market will bear, so their prices increase. So the effect of a min wage increase to provide a living wage is now in a position to be raised again because prices quickly rise and the effect is lost. And round and round we go. Why is minimum wage supposed to be a living wage? Minimum wage jobs are entry level jobs and really are meant for teens and first time job seekers. They are not usually in a position to be living on their own, it is giving them experience working and taking orders and doing what the boss wants them to do. After that they get better jobs where they do more and make more. It makes more sense to have roommates so that the living cost is reduced. The higher min wage laws also reduce hours for many of the workers that are left because the restaurant owners, in this case, can't afford and the public are not willing to pay the higher prices. So the business goes down and not as many workers are needed. Eventually automation makes more sense and then the jobs are lost. How does any of this help anyone? mspart

Beat Me Once, Shame on You. Beat Me Twice, Shame on Me.

Joey Calhoun's 1995 season was a sacrifice at the alter of the anti-Iowa gods. Without his loss, the world would have never enjoyed one of the greatest NCAA upsets of all time. -
Suppliers are winking at each other, waiting for other to start lowering prices.

That's what I said.

He has NCAA eligibility left, but (IIRC) needs to unenroll from Cornell to avoid graduating and becoming ineligible according to Ivy rules. Of course, if he thinks he can't beat Ferrera he could graduate in December and transfer somewhere else (a la Cardenas), but that is unlikely.

Friday at the U17 World Championships was the best so far from an American perspective. The women’s freestyle team finished their tournament, while the men’s freestyle action got underway. All four of the women who wrestled on Friday will leave Athens with world medals. Two had already clinched their medals heading into the day, while the other two had to post wins to earn their hardware. In yesterday’s recap, we mentioned how Morgan Turner had become the first American woman to win multiple U17 world championships. As expected, Turner has company and the exclusive club has grown to two. Taina Fernandez put her own spin on the accomplishment by going back-to-back (Turner’s first title came in 2023). Fernandez and India’s Yashita nearly battled to a stalemate in the opening stanza. A snap down and go-behind, quickly followed by a shot-clock violation, accounted for a 3-0 lead for Fernandez after one period. In the second, she opened up as we’ve been accustomed to seeing from her. Shortly after wrestling resumed, Fernandez got in on a single leg and switched to a double for a takedown. She immediately transitioned into a leg lace and turned Yashita multiple times. The officials ruled that it had only occurred twice, and the match resumed with the American holding a 9-0 lead. No worries for Fernandez, who used a similar attack to seal her win at 11-0. In her second U17 world title run, Fernandez only surrendered points in one of her four victories. The other finalist for the women’s squad was Epenesa Elison at 53 kg. She faced China’s Jiaqing Jiang in the gold medal matchup. Jiang ended up prevailing 7-4; however, Elison was on the wrong side of three different calls where she might have earned takedown(s). She’ll settle for silver in her first actual U17 world tournament. Elison qualified for the 2024 tournament but did not wrestle. Maisie Elliott (40 kg) and Jaclyn Bouzakis (46 kg) both finished up with bronze medals. Both had relatively one-sided wins to clinch their medals. Elliott won with a 6-0 shutout, while Bouzakis managed to wrap up a 12-2 tech in the final seconds of the first period. The women’s freestyle team finished in second place behind India. Even though they finished with a lower point total, the American squad was the only one with seven medalists. In men’s freestyle, two Americans pushed through to Saturday’s gold medal matches and one other is in a bronze medal match. Arseni Kikiniou made some history of his own as he became the first American to earn U17 world medals in both styles at the same World Championship event. He earned a bronze medal in Greco earlier this week. On Friday, Kikiniou advanced to the 65 kg gold medal match after edging Iran’s Morteza Haj Mollamohammadi, 3-2. Trailing 2-1, with under :30 remaining in the bout, Kikiniou won a scramble to get the go-ahead takedown. He’ll face Azerbaijan’s Huseyn Ismayilov in tomorrow’s championship match. Before Kikiniou earned a finals berth, Ariah Mills had become the first American in men’s freestyle to do so in the 2025 tournament. Late in the first period, against Azerbaijan’s Ravan Hasanzade, Mills drove Hasanzade out of bounds to his back for four points. That gave him a 4-1 lead he’d never relinquish. Mills added more late in the second for a 7-2 win. The third American in the semifinals was Grey Burnett at 55 kg, who suffered an 8-2 loss to Japan’s Jinnosuke Okonogi. The pair were tied at the break, with Burnett holding criteria; however, Okonogi had a big second period to take the lead. Burnett will wait for an opponent to advance to tomorrow’s bronze medal match. Aaron Stewart (80 kg) and Alex Taylor (110 kg) were both in action as well - both were eliminated from medal contention on Friday.

Gotcha. In reality most food prices with eggs being a large exception, are up from January of this year. Not by much, just slightly.

Thanks, but I was just using a silly example after the closed border was questioned.

The be fair, that hasn’t nothing to do with who’s president and everything to do with the situation that was going on with the chickens. Just like the fact that beef is now a good notch up, not because of anything to do with who’s president and everything to do with situations now going one with cattle stock.
