Unless we are planning on changing the variables, this "food" has nothing to do with our discussion so it is like suggesting Chocolate to Diabetics (Republicans).
What needs to be looked into is that 2 foot fence you like to straddle too comfortably. With your 31 in inseam, you don't feel it affecting you but that ground (respect) under you is slowly eroding and it will unexpectedly hurt you when it gives way.
You were so bent on furthering your argument about this "no change" in unemployment that you are still digging. Hear me - a large percentage of people voting Republican are voting against their own best interest all based on skewed emotion tactics. The variety of faces this week at the DNC convention properly represents what America is supposed to be about says it all. That picture that we will see again tonight vs. a Very non inclusive Republican show last week is worth 1000000000000000000 words!!!
Now stop riding that fence.
Rob.
I did some research on the calculation of unemployment and I found it
very interesting. The unemployment rate is calculated from a
statistical sampling. In a quick nutshell, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics takes a sampling of households through a survey of about 60K
of households. This sample set is designed to select a representative
sample across the country. Every month 1/4 of the sample changes such
that a given household is not tracked for longer than 4 months. Once
you have been sampled for four months, you get an 8 month break and are
back in the sample for another 4 months. After that, you are out for
good. The sample set is random across the country and not based on
people who have filed for unemployment or unemployment benefits. This
is not a full explanation, but you get the point, but here is the real
crazy part of it. When people are surveyed, they are not actually asked
whether or not they are employed. They are asked about their activities
and these activities are "weighted" along with race, age and a number of
other factors. To keep track of these 60K of households, the
government employs over 2,200 people to do this.
Food for thought.....
