From ROI-NJ:
N.J. employment continues on comeback trail, DOL says
New Jersey grew its employment for the 10th consecutive month in October, according to the Department of Labor & Workforce Development, with the unemployment rate ticking lower as well.
Preliminary estimates by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show total nonfarm employment in the Garden State grew by 20,000 jobs, to a seasonally adjusted total of 4.025 million jobs. The unemployment rate shrank by 0.1 of a percentage point, to an even 7 percent for the month.
The job gains were consolidated in the private sector, which added 22,000 jobs, while the public sector shrank by 2,000 positions.
Adding to the good news, estimates for September were revised higher, to a month-over-month increase of 26,300 jobs, up from the estimated 21,500 jobs added.
Overall, the state has now recovered approximately 72% of the jobs lost in March and April 2020 to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Eight of the nine private industry sectors added jobs for the month, the DOL noted, led by professional and business services, which added 8,900 jobs. Only information lost positions, with a decline of 300.

You would think the media would be screaming that this falls under domestic terrorism.
This is what happens when people never learn proper English or spelling.

Let’s see how quickly Biden and MSNBC are willing to rush to judgment to call this guy a black supremacist domestic terrorist.
Or will they give the story the minimum possible attention as it doesn’t fit the narrative?
Maybe he was peacefully fleeing a knifefight and then a bunch of white supremacists marching in the streets were trying to block him and so he had to run over them to avoid being lynched? Typical white privilege thinking they have the right of way.
Looks a bit like Bubbles from The Wire.
Fox News will probably be running this nonstop for the rest of the year, which would be an overreaction.
I switched on CNN and they were discussing O’Biden’s bid to run again in 2024; switched over to MSDNC and they were discussing how Rittenhouse was no hero. I assume the January 6th erect1on discussion will be coming up shortly. Oh, and there was a brief segment where Fauci had “hope” and was “thinking” that the booster would provide even longer protection. Who knew that “hope” and “thinking” was the basis for following the science.
As for the topic of this post about jobs, the only positive I see is that the public sector jobs number shrank.
Biden will make his pick or be told who to pick for Fed Chairman this week. As long as the party can continue, that’s fine; screw the young people.
Ericcson bought Vonage – bye bye Holmdel.
Powell gets the nod.
Rittenhouse is not a hero. Just someone defending himself.

Do you really want this for your child? You are only a kid once. I don’t want my daughter wasting her childhood doing HW all weekend. It’s my opinion, not saying I’m correct, but China is wasting away the childhood of their youth. Obsessed with competition to unhealthy levels. What’s the point?
This guy is obsessed with taking away one of the best parts of life…being a kid. Hate people like this. He prob never had a fun day in his life.
“This is not a philosophy shared by American schools. On Friday night my son came home announcing in bewilderment that he didn’t have any homework. In China students tend to receive twice as much homework on the weekend, given the two days to complete it.

What you get from Chinese schools- US Schools teach children how to milk old ladies out of their money selling landline service….
China’s hypersonic weapon test in July included a technological advance that enabled it to fire a missile as it approached its target travelling at least five times the speed of sound — a capability no country has previously demonstrated.
Pentagon scientists were caught off guard by the advance, which allowed the hypersonic glide vehicle, a maneuverable spacecraft that can carry a nuclear warhead, to fire a separate missile mid-flight in the atmosphere over the South China Sea, according to people familiar with the intelligence.
Experts at Darpa, the Pentagon’s advanced research agency, remain unsure how China managed to fire countermeasures from a vehicle travelling at hypersonic speeds, said the people familiar with details of the demonstration.
Military experts have been poring over data related to the test to understand how China mastered the technology. They are also debating the purpose of the projectile, which was fired by the hypersonic vehicle with no obvious target of its own, before plunging into the water.
Some Pentagon experts believe the projectile was an air-to-air missile. Others think it was a countermeasure to destroy missile defense systems so that they could not shoot down the hypersonic weapon during wartime
There are some good-tasting tofu recipes but they aren’t vegetarian and they aren’t good for thanksgiving. Chinese people compliment my mapo tofu, which features strong hot and numbing spices, but without ground beef or pork it would lack flavor.

Who cares about being no 1, if china wants it, let them take it and pay for all the bs that comes with it. Maybe countries will start sending us money when we are no longer no 1. Is that our reward for being no 1? Working hard to send money to other countries? Working hard to pay for the security of the world? Then have them mock us and hate us? What’s the point?
re: Soy.
Next wave in the Meatrix is real meat grown directly from animal cells and it’s here now.
Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Kimball Musk and other VCs have invested in the US based Upside Foods. They just opened their first commercial scale plant to grow up to 400,000 lbs of meat in the San Fran area. It’s not approved for sale by FDA etc so they are now on a big PR campaign just opened with a kitchen and restaurant to cook and show off their lab grown meat to investors and regulators. They had hoped to have their chicken launched this year. I gather someone needs to buy some of Hunter’s artwork.
I’ll say this, if he has such admiration for this chinese culture, why is he raising his kid here? Go back to China if you think it’s superior. Why come here and then bash our culture? It’s like me moving to China, and then complaining that Chinese culture is should be more like America’s culture.

Boot-licker wins. The bank masters like knowing how their lap dog operates. Matters not…print, print, print. Their policy is creating such a chasm in equality/reality. My bro just got let-go from start-up by well known billionaire. He will be fine as gets year benefits/severance but he has new love for day trading since COVID. He has young family and very well off financially but he said not going back to tech working world. He is all-in on day trading his way to early retirement. Maybe he will get there but multiply his attitude times millions and you have another view as to why labor market is chaotic.
Please pass the Meatrix.
Grammy you have really outdone yourself this holiday.
How will America compete with a China determined to train the best mathematicians, scientists and engineers?”
We don’t need to compete, we just need to find ways to attract them to come here so we can monetize their talent.
I remember in the early 2000s, we were seeing tons of Russian developers hit the US market. Hell, the company I worked for even hired a few. They were all PhDs, they had PhDs in incredibly esoteric areas. One of the developers had a PhD in nuclear physics, the other was materials sciences (ceramics or something).
They sucked as developers, and I really question how well they knew their PhD focus areas, given they were coming to the US to code in Visual Basic. Maybe a shitty job in the US is better than being a professor in Russia (or their accreditations were worthless there anyhow).
Suspect the education system in China is paralleling Russia. Educated, but lacking any real ability to apply that knowledge in a creative or novel way. Education system that’s not optimized towards creating an educated youth, but focused on rewarding those good at being educated – what’s the correlation between advanced graduate degrees and parents being party members?
Phoenix – Beware of youtube celebrities (doctor or not) from California talking about Antifragile which is a cult in itself. That guy is screaming about no more free parking at the gym for his free guest access. He is that high strung over parking? He is a former disciple of Tony Hsieh and did some venture health care venture in Vegas that failed. He could be a tweaker too, Vegas does that to people.
In further news, I see that there was a diversity, equality and inclusion event in San Francisco over the weekend.
The CCP are bad. The government has total control of the media and internet and makes people who disagree disappear. They’ve had a chip on their shoulder against foreigners forever, and now they think they are strong enough to punch back. They love sacrificing the individual to the collective, and are actively against the concept of individual liberty, individual rights, and pretty much all the ideas that supported the US’ founding.

This is about as pure of an American concept as it gets. It goes to the core of what America is today.
We do, many go to school here and then do not want to return (insert country name here).
The meat company I mentioned Upside Foods is run by a cardiologist who grew up in India. Uma Valeti was a researcher at the Mayo clinic before he decided to create an American Based starup in Silicon valley focused on replacing the meat we get today from slaughtering billions of chickens and 300 million cows annually. They even grow fish meat in a lab too.
Juice let me know when they master growing dry aged prime ribeye on the bone.

Really. Why not have Pumpy and BRT educate our home grown up to the same level instead of importing?
No one,
Meat bioslime can stay at room temperature for hours without growing bacteria. It can be pressed into freeze dried pellets for workers to eat on the assembly line at Tesla or a Bezos factory. It’s completely bio-digestible with no wastes it eliminates the need for bathroom breaks as it absorbs all excess urine as well.
It’s the perfect food for the future American worker.
Pumps: Well there you go again, i never said I wanted that for American children. It was compare and contrast to what China teaches vs what’s going on in American education now. If we continue on the road we are on, we will be in trouble.
No One – Better get your fill…It may be illegal to grow eat a real meat one day. They say raising animals for food equals about 20% of global CO2 emissions.
3b,
So should we import people, like Grim suggests, or teach our own?
I feel we have a duty to help our own succeed. But I feel I am in the minority on that one.
Glad I’m on my way out.
Phoenix We should teach our own, and import when we need to. Away from the humanitarian aspects how do we keep letting thousands of low/ no skilled immigrants come to this country, for jobs that are dwindling, and the associated social costs with this?

The Military Times and other domestic and foreign sources say Russia is planning to invade Ukraine by end of January or beginning of Feb, 2022. 92k thousands troops near border, expected to be massive invasion vs when the Russians too Crimea.
3b, the question is why the Russians would want Ukraine? It’s basically a failed state with an economy as poor as most African nations with one of the worlds largest nuclear disasters within it’s borders. They already took Crimea which is of strategic significance to Russia, but the rest of it, unless Ukraine joins NATO, I can’t see why Russia would invade. It’s only the presence or prospect of US/Western troops would cause them to contemplate annexing it.
Phoenix, i know of a hospital near you. more concerned with KPIs vs patient safety. Prefer to have little babies born a bit brain dead. But who cares mommy got a sticker for pushing and it looks nice for marketing purposes. Absolute lunacy, and we had this figured out 200 years ago

Jcer: Apparently NATO countries are arming Ukraine, and Ukraine wants to join NATO which is a red line for Russia, and understandable from their perspective. Crimea was always Russian , so the argument can be made that they had the right to take it back as Ukraine would never give it back.
Ukraine is a failed and corrupt state, I don’t think the Russians want to conquer it , although a large portion of the east is technically Russian now, they may formalize that previous annexation. I think they want the rest of Ukraine to become a vassal state and give up the ideas of joining NATO and EU.
BRT: I agree, but Ukraine is a real sore spot for Russia, and they will never allow it to join NATO.

NJ RT now 1.23
Schools in New Jersey are seeing an increase Covid-19 cases in students K-12 and staff since the second week of November, according to Governor Phil Murphy and Health Commissioner Judy Persichilli.
This surge in cases comes as the statewide transmission rate increases to 1.23, signaling an outbreak. More than 87,000 of children ages 5 through 11 are now vaccinated. In the last reporting period, schools reported 85.2% of staff were fully vaccinated, Persichilli said.
“We are concerned about cases in students and staff and among the general public increasing with gatherings for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays,” said Persichilli.
Still a week out from my booster…..
Just did the drive to Walmart on Rt 18 and went past the Vonage building in Holmdel. It’s adjacent to their small downtown. They can easily make it into bike paths or preserved open space.
Don’t know how many people actually work there but from what I could see from the road less than 50 cars in the lot.

Yea, it’s all the left’s fault for a bunch of crazies, but hey, right wing media is eating it up.
Gotta love 2021 politics. Thanks to trump, it has infected everything. He was a populist and brought a bunch of people that didn’t care about politics into devout antagonists and supporters. Rhetoric matters, and Trump had no idea of the long term consequences of his tweets and hate speech. Good F’ing job.

Pumpy trump may be considered civilized and a gentleman compared to what may come along of the left continues down the path they are on. They are the side starting for an abandonment off the system. If they choose to continue operating outside of the law there will be a response.
Bill Maher and James Carville said the democrat party has lost common sense and have become toxic. But, let’s ride the “it’s Trump’s fault” train as long as it deflects from the disease that is the left.
That’s what you guys are not understanding, trump is the cause of this new radical left. He screwed us. Now you have generation of these radicals to deal with.
The teachers union is far more to blame. Now take your shot and pay your dues.
Did he shoot them? Or was it accidental?
I think everyone on the left should turn towards the nearest female and grab their puzzies.
I don’t think Russia will invade Ukraine. If they do, they will seize a portion of it -maybe everything east of the dneiper.
Russia would want to annex Ukraine because its geopolitical ambition for several centuries is to have buffers against the West (whether that is Napoleon’s France, 20th century Germany or post-ww2 NATO). NATO has crept closer and closer to the Russian homeland (having the baltics, and most of the rest of the Eastern Bloc join). The EU might have pushed too hard and too fast to create economic and cultural links to Ukraine. In response, Putin may feel it is necessary to exercise control over Ukraine (this control might resolve through diplomatic channels, it might resolve by putting the correct puppet in charge of Ukraine, it might resolve by Russian-backed seperatist activity beyond the current activity in the Donbas region, it might resolve by partial Russian invasion or I suppose Russia might attack and annex the whole thing).
At least Putin seems to be respecting NATO boundaries though. Very different if he was saber-rattling toward the Baltics or Poland. There, he is using the migrants to pressure the EU.
If Putin takes Ukraine, the US and EU should impose sanctions. No arming rebels. Reiterate that Ukraine is one thing, but NATO is a different story. Then, Putin’s 20-year project is to get the Baltics out of NATO for that eventual annexation.
In one of his Netflix specials, Dave Chappelle devised a superhero character who was only able to energize his superpowers by grabbing puzzies. He was also a very ugly dude, so normally rape was his only option. He did it, but he only did it to save many lives. A real trolley problem superhero.
As for Trump’s comments, they are the sort of vain, classless comments that I’d expect a guy like him to have, trying to show off in front of some dude. I wonder what kind of stuff Joe and his brother and Hunter have said in the locker room?
In general, today’s politicians tend to be power-lusters and pervs. Bernie Sanders may well whack off to images of Greta Thunberg giving head to Stalin, but it’s really his politics I object to.
Crushed : Pretty much what I said. Russia already controls chunks of eastern Ukraine, they may go for the rest of eastern Ukraine or just formally annex the areas they already control. It’s the west’s own fault they lost Russia; humiliating them after the fall of the Soviet Union was not the answer. They abolished the Warsaw Pact the west expanded NATO right up to Russia’s border. We would have been far better off to hold our nose and ally with Russia against China. Instead, it’s been years of Putin is a dictator while saying almost nothing about China. I would take Putin and Russia, any day over China and the dictatorship that runs that country.
Teacher union has been around forever, and we have never witnessed this before. Sorry, don’t hate the messenger, but trump is the catalyst and source of this new angry left that prior to the trump presidency, did not even care about politics before. Thank you, trump! Thank you for cancel culture and the radical left. Thank you for throwing rocket fuel on the BLM movement.
It’s funny, Biden came out and said that this trial verdict must be respected even if you don’t agree with it. That is the complete opposite of trump who incited the BLM riots by saying some dumb divisive sh!t. Good job, buddy. Yet, Biden is the problem…laughable. Trump should have stfu and stopped tweeting.
Fast, you bust my balls for posting here asking if am I teaching today? Why didn’t you bust trump’s balls when he was tweeting all f’ing day as the President of the United States? When he wasn’t tweeting, he was golfing or riling up his base at some political fundraiser.

It’s like a coach or captain of a sports team yelling and pointing fingers….sure, that will help the “team.” Yea, it will help them fight each other instead of the real competition. Trump is a f’ing idiot.

“3b, the question is why the Russians would want [to invade] Ukraine?”
Don’t over think it. The Russians may invade Ukraine for essentially the same reason that hundreds of thousands of third-worlders are illegally crossing our southern border and bands of criminals are stripping clean high end stores and boutiques in California — because they can! Because they know that the US, like California, is governed by the weak, useless, malfeasant Democrat party and that they are therefore free to undertake whatever action they want, whenever they want.
Err they already invaded Ukraine under Potus 44 and shot down a Malaysia airliner too. European courts are still trying Russians for that war crime. Sergei Mutskayev, commander of the 53rd Russian Anti-Aircraft Brigade Was subpoenaed, they are still trying to get to the trigger man and chain of command. I don’t think he will be leaving Russia anytime soon.
Good news for small business owners. BBB includes 80k extra IRS agents to audit smallfolk. Rather than investing in innovation, the Dems, via BBB, will burden small business with additional paperwork and quasi-legal process.
The math is 1.2 million additional audits by 87,000 new agents or a bit more than one audit per agent per month. Sounds about right for government productivity.
I find it hard to believe AI cannot do better. $80 billion is one hell of a WHOPPER computer….every conceivable tax cheat senario……

Juice: They never “ officially” invaded Ukraine as in uniformed Russian troops and tanks etc, they may invade now and officially annex the areas they already control and perhaps add Odessa and surrounding areas.
When someone is certain, let me know if we are allies with Russia or sworn enemies. Same with China. Since last I checked, we do enormous amounts of business with both of them. Nearly 30 billion with the Russia and 560 billion with China.
Lib: Huge difference between 30 billion and 560 billion. Regardless of equating them as bother the same ( they are not) , pick which one you would want to at least ostensibly on your side; I will take Russia any day.
Is China’s threat to Taiwan (or is that Thighwan?) that different than Russia’s threat to the Ukraine?
And believe me. If Russia had the number of low wage farmers turned factory workers that China uses to mass produce retail crap America devours, we’d buy from them too.

“I finally get it. General Flynn betrayed his country back in 2014. As head of the DIA, he was supposed to warn Obama that Russia was about to invade Ukraine. Instead, Flynn was fired right after the invasion.
Then he flew to Russia to meet Putin.”
And before GOAT and Small start complaining. There is nothing in that statement that is not a verifiable fact.
Lib: Taiwan has chip makers, a nice addition to the Chinese economy . Russia may invade Ukraine to consolidate and officially annex what they already occupy. More importantly it will be a warning to Ukraine to stay away from the West. Don’t know what the rest of your post is about, but right now we have two enemies China and Russia, with China being the biggest threat, but Russia able to create problems too.
Fab: The Russian thing is getting old , give it a rest. China is the major threat , and we made Russia an enemy, by encouraging Ukraine to seek NATO membership. There was no way Russia was going to accept that. Ukraine in NATO and with Crimea as part of NATO?? No way, so the Russians took Crimea back which was theirs anyhow.
