  • Although layoffs have jumped, the nation's unemployment rate remains historically low at 4.2% and hiring has remained steady. The Department of Labor is set to release its June employment report on Thursday, with economists forecasting payroll gains of roughly 115,000 in May, according to financial data provider FactSet.

    I literally don’t even know how to interpret things like this at this point. I hear that everything is falling apart and it’s extremely difficult to find a job (which matches my experience) and that jobs I general are getting worse (also matches my experience), and then I read that unemployment is “historically low” and companies are hiring. Maybe it’s true by the numbers as we measure them, but then we need a new way to measure these things because the numbers are not matching the reality.

  • Same here. Growing up autistic definitely primed me to be able to accept alternative ideas. When I was younger and my mom made me go to church I remember realizing that none of it made any sense and I didn’t believe it. I think my thoughts about Capitalism were pretty similar but just took longer.
