  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The one Biden stopped installing and started selling off for Pennie’s on the dollar?

Yeah, that's the one. It was amazingly effective even before any of it got built, remained amazingly effective during his presidency but became practically useless when Biden took office. No part of the erected wall was sold off, just the parts lying around.

"Pennie’s on the dollar" - is AI doing your typing from dictation? I use closed captioning all the time (hearing/aural understanding issues) and this seems eerily familiar. Not a criticism, kudos if you're harnessing a useful tool. Just curious because that would explain certain oddities.

US layoffs surged in July to their highest level since the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
If this is true it might be time to call out the National Guard.

US hiring plans sink to lowest since 2009 in September as labor market slowdown continues

So far this year, employers planned to add just 204,939 jobs, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. [same org quoted in OP]

So far this year, employers have planned to add 204,939 jobs, compared to 483,590 at this point last year. The last time year-to-date hiring was this sluggish was 2009, when companies recorded 169,385 new hires as the economy was clawing its way out of the Great Recession.

Meanwhile, planned job cuts year to date, at 946,426, were at their highest year-to-date total since 2020, Challenger, Gray & Christmas said

“It’s very likely job cut plans are going to surpass a million for the first time since 2020,” Andy Challenger, senior vice president and labor expert for Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said in a statement.

Piffle. As long as it's only the working class, nobody much cares. Certainly Trump doesn't care. He thinks they should still be grateful to him for keeping little boys off little girls' sports teams.

Farming under Trump: Farm Bankruptcies in 2025 Already Surpass Last Year’s Total

It's absolutely mind boggling the voters who elected Trump based on his economic prowess of fraud and bankruptcies.

And many voters do vote for Trump because he opposes the crazy ideas of the left; yes, like allowing boys to compete on girls' sports teams.
