    No economy has, it is called the business cycle.

    It is no big deal. I was person of the year back in 2006.

    I thought the inverted yield curve on bonds was a good indicator.

    Merry Christmas guys I hope I didn't "trigger" anyone.

    Offset by gains in Antarctica and the newly greening deserts. Seriously though, things have ALWAYS been getting better or getting worse, it has nothing/little to do with CO2.

    Hey! we are a double 182 DZ :-)

    Not as much of a harbinger of economic troubles as this: https://globalnews.ca/news/6262739/canada-biggest-job-loss-financial-crisis/

    In no particular order our staff consists of: medical practice consultants, Emmy award winning video editor, IT guru, multi media guy for the department of engineering at Penn State, police officer, and several Penn State students. No slave workers making tennis shoes for a dollar a day.

    No, I run SDHV, I don’t own it. I am just a simple worker bee. Manager, S&TA, chief instructor, packer, tandem mule, demo guy, and manifest bitch all rolled into one lovable fuzz ball. We don’t have any indentured servants, everyone had regular full time jobs (except for me, I’m semi retired)

    I'm glad you bought that up. Only around 100k of new workers entered the workforce the rest of the 160k+ jobs were filled by those who were previously not participating in the job market. So good news all around

    5.8% vs 3.5%. It might have been good then but it is better now.

    The second amendment IS the law.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/danielfisher/2017/01/30/does-the-constitution-protect-non-citizens-judges-say-yes/#68d892a14f1d Looks like the constitution cuts both ways

    Wow! What up with the hate? Looks like I am living, rent free, in your brain.

    The tight labor market is giving the worker more leverage than at anytime in the last 50 years. Employers are scrambling to attract and retain talent. Real wages are up, there are more jobs available than workers to fill them. If some one wants a better paying job they can just go out and get one.

    Bill is stating that the IPCC prediction of increased drought validates the model. The IPCC says they can see no trend. Just because the IPCC cannot find something isn't proof of its existence.

    That would be no less futile that the "no guns allowed" sign because of the hundreds of millions of guns that are currently on the street. Not to mention, the moment that gun control is mentioned in the halls of congress, the public cleans out every gun store in the country. Remember the Great Ammunition Shortage? No? It started November 5th 2008. Inventories of guns and ammunition, across the country, were wiped out in a matter of hours and it took until 2013 to recover. I still have nightmares.

    IPCC says no there is no trend in droughts. Model invalidated. Increase in fires? Result of population increase in fire prone areas and poor land management. Model invalidated. Ocean acidification? PH of the ocean is around eight which is alkaline not acidic. Model invalidated. BTW the daytime PH around coral reefs can be as high as 8.6 because the zooxanthellae algae, growing within the skeleton of the coral, love CO2 and soak it up like a sponge (which, coincidently, also has zooxanthellae)

    That would be fun, I'll buy.

    It's $30 an hour with a two hour guarantee, just for showing up, rain or shine. We have to contend with this pesky little thing called economics. There is a glider operation we have to compete with, less than an hour away.
  21. brenthutch
    None, our hourly employees (pilots) make $30 an hour.

    You won't get any argument from me. It used to piss off my professors when I said economics had more in common with psychology than it did with math. That said, a 3.5% unemployment rate for the U.S. is unprecedented in the modern era. The growth in manufacturing jobs is particularly impressive even though a chunk of that was from the end of the GM strike.

    Since you lack a background in economics or business I will be patient with you. What economists consider "full employment", is around 5%. It is unremarkable that unemployment dropped from 10% to 5% under Obama, that is just normal business cycle stuff. What is remarkable is the move from 5% down to 3.5%, with low inflation. It has economists everywhere scratching their heads, and is redefining what is considered full employment.

    How do you reconcile "labor shortage" with "too many people"?
