Cortez, "the unemployment rate is so high becuase everyone is working two jobs."

and they will believe her too

We shall see, stranger things have happened.

He hasn't been terribly public by any means.

@Timcast Cal-exit... will it happen? I hope to hell it does.

US labor force is 150M

She might've been close if she said something like "200M people live paycheck to paycheck"

Yeah, Ocasio-Cortez is a social media type. Not really into verifying facts, but will repeat numbers for shock value.

200m people making less than 20k a year is a strawman

Cortez will be President of California when they secede, now that would be hilarious

And technically its 100% true

That figure counts college students and anyone under 16 who doesnt wotk

seeriously the 14th is fucked

@Cody No, you absolutely do matter. Suppose you get enough people to vote to chip into the vote margin and they have to account for that when they do redistricting and it opens up an opening somewhere else.

Just vote. It takes only a couple minutes. And it's more than sitting on Discord whining.

and NJ might go red

I'm registered already, just dont feel like actually voting will change anything

i know a few people who arent voting in NJ becuase they think its guna be blue no amtter what

this could be a bloodbath

Yeah, I'm still surprised a bit by NJ, but that might be a special case like in Alabama.

id be willing to bet that if dems win the house the economy will tank

I think that's happening anyways.

its happoening becuase of uncertainty

I would not bet against you

people are worried what will happen if dems win

so theres always a decline before an election

that and feds raised interest rates

I've been tellling people the economy is going to tank once we get serious internet regulation.

But Europe is already doing that.

Tech has been propping the economy up for awhile and it's based on growth projections.

Plz explain?

We have had net neutrality for years

But as GDPR comes into effect, stuff like AI becomes difficult or impossible.

The economy is still fine

Simultaneously, people start abandoning and losing faith int he companies and they start looking less like a growth sector and more like and established and stagnant market.

This causes the values of these companies to tank, and it takes everything else out too.

Likely via the banks.

Are you talking about tech companies or telecommunications companies?

You have to understand, privacy is kryptonite to Google and Facebook.
