Not sure what you mean...are you ok with the continued protests/destruction/calls for defunding? When will you be ready to move on/outside?;)

I am more than ready to move on, once Trump removes his stormtroopers from Portland. We know they are only there to cause more trouble which they of course will blame on the demonstrators. Surely, this administration could be more creative than this, their motives are just so transparent.

As to the calls for defunding, you know its all BS, but your kind must make hay while the sun shines. Take every opportunity you can to distort and lie.

They are trumps personal SS, Storm troopers with no uniform names, no insignias, unmarked vehicles, no due process, no authority to arrest, people just disappear. Yes, my dear they are todays version of 1930's storm troopers.

Is this the new trump campaign strategy, born out of obvious desperation?

Yep, it's the new KILLER CARAVAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Federal agents armed in camouflage and acting in a provocative manner will elicit a response. And then Trump will use that response to claim CITIES ARE BURNING TO THE GROUND!!!!! And morons like TOP will fall for it. But that's okay, the rest of us, the adults in the room, know better. Cities are being destroyed? LOL, No, no, they aren't.

Healing is obviously much more difficult when cities are still being destroyed....what's hard to understand about that?

What cities have been destroyed? We opened too soon. That is what caused our present Corona surge. It is a result of right-wing politics.
 
Hello floridafan,

(CNN Business)America's jobless crisis is far from over. Thursday's Department of Labor report hammered that point home: Another 1.4 million Americans filed for first-time unemployment benefits last week, marking the first increase in initial claims in 16 weeks.

The weekly first-time claims peaked at 6.9 million in the last week of March and fell continuously until last week, when the trend reversed. Economists had predicted claims would remain steady this week at 1.3 million, the same amount as in last week's report.
Nearly four months after the Covid-19 pandemic ravaged the health of Americans, their economy and their labor market, the upswing in economic data is tapering off.
A resurgence in infections and a rollback of reopening plans in several states is making it difficult for people to re-enter the labor force following the pandemic lockdown -- and it could derail the vulnerable US economic recovery.

On top of regular claims for unemployment benefits, nearly 1 million people across 49 states applied for pandemic unemployment assistance, a program Congress rolled out as part of the government's Covid response. It provides benefits to workers who aren't typically eligible, such as freelancers and the self-employed. The program stands to expire at the end of the year.

Continued claims, which count people who have applied for benefits for at least two consecutive weeks, slipped to 16.2 million.

So what do we call it now?

A W shaped recovery?
