It doesn’t account for the people who have stopped looking for work or those that have run out of unemployment. Rehiring govt jobs dont count either. Nor those who have taken a part time job for xmas.

Here’s another antidote for “doomer” disease:

Over the past 12 months, California has added about 300,000 jobs, MORE THAN ANY OTHER STATE. California’s payroll growth rate over the past year is 2.1 percent, ninth in the nation and well above the national average of 1.3 percent, according to numbers from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Oh, sorry, I forgot, BLS statistics are bogus now.

When the nation’s unemployment rate was above 8 percent, that number was Gospel to the Rabid Right. Now because it’s dropped below 8 percent, it’s fixed. Yeah, sure.

Move. It will not change…. cannot believe how so many unhappy, unbalanced, closd minded doomers are constantly chirping like ragged Sparrows on CWD.

Be happy. Or

“People can disagree about the benefit of new regulations—whether the greater public good outweighs the financial costs—but it’s completely disingenuous for the regulatory movement to argue regulations help companies make more money. No one wants companies dumping chemicals into a river, regardless of how much money it saves them. But, you can’t rewrite the facts. All regulations cost money, and sometimes the public health benefits are worth the cost.”

The perfect paragraph, John. To which I would only add at the end:

“……and sometimes they are not.”

You have no idea how many times in the past 30 years I have argued this point. Sadly the majority still cannot grasp it.

We stopped teaching logic decades ago, and replaced it with Susan B Anthony’s life story.

We reap what we sow.

This bill was needed in a focused way. A laundry service that dumps their chemicals illegally is a huge problem. The cost of cleaning up these dumps can be huge.
But does that include those kids throwing out their uneatable school lunches? The fact that this bill is so broad in its coverage will lead to the state sticking their nose into things they shouldn’t.
Not that that has ever happened.
