    I have already explained to you the difference between those metrics. But it seems like you didn't read their paper. Perhaps, you can come back once you have.

    I know what the difference in the metrics are but usually total employment trends up and down with the monthly jobs reports. They've been diverging since March 2022 and you have no idea why imo. Never saw whatever article you linked to.

    Apparently, you never read the article you linked to. Go ahead and read it so that you can speak about it.

    In terms of your attempted deflection to employment stats, that difference is likely driven by an underestimation in the population growth statistics as it relates to the CPS. Adjusting for that issue brings the statistics much closer together and shows a robust labor market. That makes sense given the rate of real wage increases.

    Not sure what article you're referring to. You accusing me of deflection is simply "confession by projection."

    Shockingly conned enough voters, and was helped by a corrupt judiciary, to avoid the real cover he deserves:

    You posted an article earlier in this thread. You never read the paper on which it is based, as you clearly don't understand the limitations of the analysis.

    And you brought up job data from November in a thread that had nothing to do with it. So that is deflection and, no, I did no such thing.

    So, as I said, go ahead and read the paper. We both know that you won't, but that is the cost of doing business here.

    I'd also definitely go with "MAN" when describing Trump.

    Because Trump is a masculine, manly fellow. He embodies all the qualities I associate with being a strong, alpha male; cheats on his (multiple) wives, talks vile $hit about women, sexually assaults women.

    Yeah, what a "man."

    Trump hasn’t even taken office and woke culture is already in retreat. I saw a white guy in a TV commercial last night.

    Well, in Time magazine's favor, at least they gave it to Hitler before 1939 when he invaded Poland. Now if they would have given it to him in 1942....

    How often does Time have to "fact check" its person of the year?

    I'm afraid you will have to create your own magazine then, because that's not a real honor in Time magazine

    Another Man of the Year who deserved the "honor" in the same vein as Donald Trump.

    When I see Trump's face on the cover of Time Magazine this former Person of the Year also comes to mind.
