Readit NewsUS was all into destroying Afghanistan and Iraq. They had no intention of being there long term.
I would love to understand why you think it is punitive for the ultra rich.
[Does anyone else get tired of stuff like "the highest rate since February"? Dudes, that was four months ago (because it's data for June). You'd expect a "highest rate in four months" about every four months or so. That in itself does not make this the kind of outlier that you are trying to make it sound like it is.]
Either way, "full employment" doesn't mean much unless you take into account whether people are actually able to live a stable lifestyle or are burning the candle at both ends just to put food on the table. One of these enables folks to buy nonessentials and fund all those sectors of the economy, the other doesn't.
If you all you can find are the minimum wage jobs and you choose not to work there, then you should be considered unemployed and if you are long term unemployed, U6 captures that.
When I am writing the code, my mind tracks what I have done and the new pieces flow. When I am reading code written by someone else, there is no flow.. I have to track individual pieces and go back and forth on what was done before.
I can see myself using LLMs for short snippets rather than start something top down.
I do appreciate this notion as I read articles of government workers fired who supported Trump (why a person working for the government would vote Republican is beyond me).
Many of Trumps actions attack those that would either likely never vote Republican or can't vote (illegals, groups on special visas that lost them, foreign students, etc)
If you agree that the actions of the current administration are detrimental to the US over long term, those are the consequences.
Take Alabama or Oklahoma for example - their policies have made those states backward. People in those states have poor education outcomes, less wealth and less health, lower social mobility etc. It impacts everyone in those states. Either the opposition needs to mobilize, message better etc. or the voters need to compare and realize what they are missing. If not, they will continue to face the consequences.
