But we never get to 0 unemployment even in the best boom periods. 4% is about as low as it ever gets.

A 3 million people difference from 4.8%.

In 2010, the unemployment rate was 9.something or other. Which is 28 million.

We've added 13 million jobs since 2010, a quarter of a million is a significant drop in the bucket, but still a drop.

If it keeps growing that way for, like, this entire year, then you can be confused, but this is just the same deal.

They've been up every month for since early 2010, but this is the biggest plus month in a long time. And, it's a bit unusual when the unemployment rate is supposedly so low already - it's really hard to generate this kind of job growth when the unemployment rate is 4.8% (supposedly).

A quarter of a million is pretty easily within grasp of what's still a 15 million pool of unemployed.

Haven't jobs been trending up for a while already?

Yeah. It was up in January. And November.

Actually, the month of most clear fallout from the election, December, is the month that was actually down.

Ha, ADP reports 298,000 jobs added in the private sector in February, the best month in almost 3 years, more than 50% above analyst predictions. And, a lot of it was not low-paying service jobs for once. 32k jobs added in manufacturing.

And this is supposed to be due to Trump, I'm assuming?

Due to Trump doing what? He hasn't really done anything that would increase manufacturing jobs.

Bring on President Pence!

This goes back to the "Proving intent of slander is bulls*** hard in these cases"

... libel?

Is Twitter kind of blurring the line, here, it's basically speech, but it's still technically text.

Presumably they're actually behind the time, they just had clairvoyance to see CIA documents instead.

Car insurance

49 states mandate having car insurance in order to drive a vehicle

But the minimum coverage requirements are very low, and people very frequently buy coverage in excess of the requirement. And car insurance is perfectly profitable in the 1 state that has no minimum. Because they offer a good product.

The state without car insurance is New Hampshire.

New Hampshire has the 5th lowest car crashes in the country. The top two unsurprisingly are Alaska and Hawaii.

The reason Car Insurance in New Hampshire is profitable is that they don't have to spend from the pot as much.

If insurance companies cannot offer a product people will buy without being forced to, it's clear the product sucks. Which is all the more reason people should not be forced to buy it.

Car insurance and life insurance, and many other forms of insurance, are perfectly profitable with minimal or no requirements from the government that people must buy them. If it's truly not possible for healthcare then we need single payer.

You realize this is how insurance works in the first place, right? Everyone involved gives money, and that money is then spent on the problems that actually happen. You're essentially complaining that the pool was expanded.

Is all this more or less likely that Americans will end up with single payer?

Eventually, but probably not under these dorks.
