I read the graph liar. And that’s why you’re a liar
And I was in New York in March 2020 during which the official. Pandemic Panic officially started.

Mar/apr 62.7 Jul 2022 62.1 bone up on your reading comprehension. Gesuz, no wonder we have a problem on the right with lying. One of your no good bastard buddies just got fined 50 million.

Apparently your 'puter or your brain are on the fritz or both. And who gives a dump where you were in Mar.

Really bobbie? 63.4 in Feb. firmly pre pandemic. Why did the rate drop 0.7% between Feb and March if not the pandemic?

[bobbiemcgee]

My point was it is nearly back from the pandemic lows @ 62.1, the 1% you noted.

"From 2013 on, the monthly figures held steady in the vicinity of 63%, after a sharp decline in the wake of the Great Recession. However, in early 2020, the labor force participation rate fell markedly, dropping from 63.4% to 61.4% in the first half of the year, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its low point was reached in April 2020, when the rate sank to 60.2%.

Ohio politics. Long but informative read. Doesn't seem like the Ohio legislature does what the majority of Ohioans would like it to do.

I think you could say that about most state legislatures, left or right. They all pander to the extremes of their party, ignoring the fact that most people are much closer to the middle, conservative on some items and liberal on others.

Well, I'm living in one of the most conservative ones here in South Carolina.
What was fascinating were the efforts by Ohioans to reverse some of the effects of the extremes in gerrymandering.
1 - They passed an amendment to their constitution for districts to be more representative
2 - They took the new, bad maps to court and their own Supreme Court rejected 5 efforts that were still didn't meet the test

They ran out the clock so ended up with the bad maps from a Federal court intervention, but there is some hope for the future.

This Cale Gundy resignation from Oklahoma is the weirdest shit ever.

Negative recruiting is a real thing.

If his side of the story is true, and I haven't heard anything to say it isn't, an apology to the players involved should be sufficient. However, his name doesn't carry enough weight to make up for the baggage that will get associated to the program by the other schools using this incident to negatively recruit.

I guess. Weird world when a kid might actually count it against a school that an assistant coach read the word "[Voldemort]" off a kid's iPad.
