We also just straight up need better metrics.

Unemployment rate - removing denominator (per hour chart) can be misleading.

Uber drivers or people working 2-3 jobs to make a living wage -> improves this chart (I could be wrong here).

Would be great if the numbers we tracked and held government responsible to were actually indicative of what the population as a whole cared about. (Not GDP, for example)

MCK1 - it is not. I agree it should be Included. My point is that other metrics are necessary to highlight the health of the population, that we don’t necessarily pay enough attention to.

An Uber driver is employed. Great! Numbers go up - but he has to work 2,3 jobs, is a contractor, etc

Let’s start with the MTA. They need 12 billion dollars from Biden just to survive next year.

Agree we shouldn’t let the MTA collapse, but that organization is horribly corrupt and needs to be cleaned up. There should be lots of strings attached to any federal bailout

Agreed

Need help on how to invest. We are positioned to pay off our house later this year.

I have fidelity for my 401k, would they be good to open a taxable investment account with, or are there better options?

Republicans annoy me because Biden is fumbling the bag right now and wrecking everything and republicans decide that RIGHT NOW is the time to die on the hill of a social issue. We have a litany of economic and energy and strategic issues and they decide to just randomly do this for no reason

I wouldn't have nearly as many issues with conservative principles if they weren't so hypocritical in how they enact them.

I'm not opposed to lowering taxes, smaller government, and respecting individual rights, but they simultaneously support bailing out big businesses, expanding church and state, and massive deficit spending to pay for dumb wars and tax loopholes for hedge fund managers.

I'd rather see our government provide food, healthcare, and shelter than any of the above things.

Question for anyone who might know - it appears to me Rasmussen releases a poll every week day or close to that, but day to day their margins swing three percent or more, which I think is outside the margin of error (can’t speak for every single poll). How is that kind of change possible from day to day?
