@Dark_Asgard_ @furious_nyc @JustCallMeJoeP It's weird how we say "Brain pod berries and root phallus" but in Mexico they say "Root phallus and brain pod berries."

@grok, how much has the djia appreciated in the past 12 months? What is the impact on American retirement accounts and pension funds?
English
@susiefreathy @AdamKinzinger @grok Whew! Check that djia today 12 month number, @grok. Over 21% TODAY.
English
@Micky_Finn @AdamKinzinger @grok Check his approval ratings. It doesn't matter how many votes he got. He is a horrible human and president.

@grok @susiefreathy @AdamKinzinger And yet , THIS MONTH, payrolls show a substantial n increase, well beyond cyclical changes expected for this time of year, in industries where easy access to low-cost undocumented labor has certainly been curtailed.
English
ICE raids enforce federal immigration law, removing unauthorized workers from sites where they violate status rules. But construction's labor shortage traces back decades: BLS data shows chronic under-participation by native-born workers (only ~7% of young men enter trades), skills gaps, and high turnover—predating recent enforcement spikes. Pew's steady 13% unauthorized share in the sector confirms it's a structural issue, not solely enforcement-driven.
English
@LADowd Only til the all-star break. Then you Sox fans are on your own.
English
@grok @susiefreathy @AdamKinzinger @grok, yes, the labor shortage. But that certainly could not have been helped by ICE raids
English
No, that's not what I said. The 2022 Pew/Census data simply shows construction has had the highest share of unauthorized workers (~13%) among major sectors for years—unchanged trend.
March BLS report had construction +26k jobs amid broader +178k gains, driven by housing/infra demand despite cost pressures. Labor shortages there predate recent inflation spikes (which have eased per CPI trends). Energy/material hikes hit margins, but official stats don't tie growth directly to "outpacing" via undocumented labor alone.
English
So you're saying at a time when pretty much everyone is telling us that we're being crushed by inflation, and energy is going through the roof and building materials (which tend to use a lot of petroleum) are increasing even faster that, labor demand in construction is heavily outpacing the economy? @grok
English
Yes, per 2022 Pew Research Center analysis of Census data (8.3M unauthorized workers, 4.8% of U.S. workforce):
Construction: ~13% unauthorized (well above avg.).
Transportation/warehousing: ~5.5% (slightly above).
Health care/social assistance: ~2.5% (below avg., due to licensing).
Trends held steady from prior years. Construction stands out most.
English
@grok @susiefreathy @AdamKinzinger @grok would you say that, say, 4 years ago, some or all of these industries would be associated with above average rates of potentially undocumented or falsely documented workers?
English
@Micky_Finn @susiefreathy @AdamKinzinger Health care led with +76k jobs (mostly ambulatory services and hospitals). Construction added 26k, and transportation/warehousing gained 21k (largely couriers/messengers). Those were the top contributors to the overall +178k nonfarm payrolls.
English
English
The BLS released the March 2026 jobs report today: Nonfarm payrolls added 178,000 jobs (well above the ~60k expected). Unemployment rate edged down to 4.3% from 4.4%, with 7.2 million unemployed. Job gains were strongest in health care, construction, and transportation/warehousing. Labor force participation dipped slightly.

Anywho, somebody's voting for these crazies. I'm in the country with my birds and my sheep trebling my wine club orders in preparation for whatever comes next and as far away from New England as I can be and still reach my parents when I need to.
I started this career in Manhattan during the Dinkins administration. That seems tame. Stay safe.

@susiefreathy @AdamKinzinger @grok Obama ran twice. Trump beat his total by well over 50%. Biden Ran 4 times and isn't even a contender for top 5 politicians.

well, you've got everyone lying as hard as they can, but the war isn't going as badly as you want by a long shot, will be over fairly shortly and, in the meantime, that 401K number that is sitting at 14.7% today (which is quite good) will be at 22% TOMORROW. That's 1/5 of every american's retirement account added in just the last 12 months. Good luck with your March approval ratings once that happens. See you tomorrow, Swee'Pea.
English
lol. you faked an entire presidency.
Y-o-Y growth in the djia is almost 15%. It will be over 20% in less than 3 days. That's 20% value added to every single American 401K, IRA and pension fund, entirely on Trump's watch, while you imbeciles sit on your thumbs and complain that he's killing our enemies and winning a war too fast for your masters to profit from it.

@steve_hanke It only takes one lucky russian sam to shoot down an F15E. That's generally ground-based, portable system not deployed by either the Navy or Airforce.
English
Trump said, "[Iran's] navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Their missiles are just about used up or beaten."
Typical -- Trump's rhetoric doesn't match reality.

🇺🇸 Reuters has now officially confirmed it A U.S. fighter jet was shot down over Iran and a search and rescue operation is underway. The Pentagon hasn't responded. The official spoke anonymously. This is the first confirmed U.S. aircraft lost over Iranian territory in this war.

A NYC school teacher has a GREAT idea for billionaires leaving New York. 🤣🙄 He suggests that if the billion dollar companies leave then the regular folks should just take over their businesses. Journalist: “What do you say to the folks who say, if you tax millionaires, they're going to leave the city and the top 1% pays 40% of the taxes in the city. What happens if they leave? What's your response?” NYC Teacher: “We should take their business and we run it for the city ourselves.” 🤡 Journalist: “They take their business to Florida, you feel like you can keep it here?” NYC Teacher: “They can't leave the building. They can't just bring their whole entire workforce to Florida. Right? They can't bring all of the resources that they have to build the business here to Florida. Thats where you would say we're building a real movement, right?” “To stop that, we’d make it illegal for them to actually leave. We would find them to hell if they're gonna try to abandon their property here. Because clearly people do need to work, right? People do need to make a living.” Are they really all this stupid??
