I like to believe that when you are rich and powerful you like to sometimes just gently caress with people, basically massive world changing pranks that sometimes results in a couple million pleb deaths. You can indulge yourself because you have all the time and money in the world. The idea that you should not ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity does not apply to the rich and powerful.

bro steve jobs died because he thought juice would cure his cancer

some of them are even dumber than the average joe because they were born into a lifestyle that is completely disconnected from the reality everyone else is living in. they're just people.

The Sep-Oct 2015 is quite the jump. Not that Trump isn't a wacko but he's at least in the ballpark on this one.

i mean, even if this month had the highest rate of hires in the last five years, only confirmation bias compounded with an extremely simplistic understanding of the world could lead to the conclusion that trump, who has been in power for two months, would be responsible for such a phenomenon

he's a moron bc he is taking credit meanwhile he hasn't even appointed most of his staff yet because he is worried about their twitters being too anti-trump or some nonsense - IE it has nothing to do with him

seriously mnuchin is the only fuckin' one at the treasury department right now l m a o


Trump is doing his standard "take credit for poo poo I have nothing to do with actually" strategy and people are falling for it still bc people are shitbirds.

The healthcare plan was already destroying every insurance company not massive enough to weather the storm

The plan was for only the juggernauts to remain, where they could monopolize the market and jack prices up

They were on their way to doing exactly that.
Humana and Aetna tried to merge into one supergroup but it was blocked by a judge. United and others pulled out. Obamacare went from 6 or so health plan providers down to 3 depending on the state. The cost of plans was going up from 20% to 50% every year. The majority of "cheaper plans" were plans that cost $300-$600 a month with $4,000 to 7,000 deductibles. There were two things Obamacare eradicated however: lifetime maximums and riders on pre-existing conditons.

More than anything I want to love Obamacare because I use it and have been to hell and back with it but its turned into a failure.

The tweet mentions LinkedIn, the website company, and their stats, not any national stats.

The web net interprise company Linked In has had a good 2 months of helping ppl find jobs through their job finder facebook clone bullshit.

In other words, our long national nightmare is over.

Yeah the meme I posted is based on ADPs (handles payroll for pretty much every business in America) internal numbers and projections. Actual government job report is due out on Friday. If it is as good as ADP is projecting, which it probably will be, there is likely to be a rate hike. And yes, I know he's only been in office for two months and it wasn't him, I just thought it was funny.
