The Non-President Biden brokered a brilliant deal that averted the threatened railworkers strike by merely offering workers... a 24% pay increase.

The National Carriers' Conference Committee, which represents the nation's freight railroads said: "The tentative agreements announced today follow the August 16 recommendations of Presidential Emergency Board...which include a 24% wage increase during the five-year period from 2020 through 2024 -- with a 14.1% wage increase effective immediately -- and five annual $1,000 lump sum payments."

Say, didn't we get caught in the 70s in a wage-and-price inflation spiral? Don't worry, Google will hide that evidence for Biden.

Consumer sentiment falls below 50, indicating that people think, correctly, that economic conditions are getting worse.

Kind of like we're in a recession or something. Will Google allow me to say we're in a recession? Will the FBI arrest me for saying that?

Americans' economic sentiment’s recent uptick was short-lived as the Ipsos-Forbes Advisor U.S. Consumer Confidence Tracker shows a decrease in its main index of 2.2 points from two weeks ago. The index dipped back below the 50-point mark, where it had been from early June until mid-August. It now sits seven points lower than it did at the beginning of the year.

It's now almost as low as it was... during the pandemic.

The Small Business Administration gave $1.3 billion in COVID-19 disaster relief to applicants with foreign internet addresses, indicating possible international criminal organization involvement, the agency's inspector general found.

The agency blocked over 110,000 applications from six countries deemed to be "high risk," but not all of the applications from foreign nations, according to the inspector general's report published Monday.

"The numerous applications submitted from foreign IP addresses are an indication of potential fraud that may involve international criminal organizations," the government watchdog group said in its report.

Over 33,000 applications were submitted from Nigeria, and 241 were approved, giving applicants in the African nation nearly $20 million.

This doesn't instill me with confidence in the policy of hiring women as police patrolmen. She needed to be rescued by six civilian men in the vicinity.

Can't they bring in some FEMA trailers and pup tents? Posted by: fd

You're not going to believe this, but Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre have something else in common, besides being hypercompetent perfectionists who make 100% of the shots they take: they lie about the border, ludicrously.

Sometimes Time is particularly unkind.

Tom Cruise is the same age. Two years older, I think.

Some people get lucky, some don't.
