Hilldog was telling the truth when she spoke about deplorables. The guy is one of them.
Hillary was right about so many things.

The jobs report probably ends any likelihood of another stimulus bill.

The rapid, V-shape recovery is here.  Hard to see unemployment above 8% by November (which is what it was in 2012).

I doubt it recovers that quickly, especially since the report says unemployment would be at 16% but 3% were misclassified. Also, 2012 saw the economy recovering in Obama's term vs 2020 where the economy got worse under Trump. Not comparable. 

If Trump can tout +1M new jobs every month until November, it's going to be a net electoral benefit to him.  This is the scenario Obama and other top Democrats are the most concerned about. 

They're not new jobs though. You can't go from 3% unemployment to 16% unemployment in a month and then gloat about the proceeding recovery the next month.

Eh, WHO "advice" has been all over the place throughout the entire pandemic.  Remember when they said there was no evidence of immunity for people who had already been infected?

Exactly!

Galaxy brain at work.
If we stop reporting the jobless numbers, then we'll have less unemployment....

Probably kills momentum on a second stimulus.
Unfortunately I'd say so, not that it would take much to stop a second one. Cue the tweets.
