My guess is these were underperforming problem employees that they wanted to drop. This provided an easy out to skip a PIP and severance. A company the size of wells fargo there are going to be way more people than 14 using a jiggler. If it were a blanket 1-strike, it would be a lot more folks gone.
National healthcare with one weird trick
It depends on the state
You’re being weirdly pedantic about everything here. I’m trying to figure out why.
That’d be insane
My guy that’s the point of this whole post. He’s insane.
Ok? I’m not defending this shit bag, just trying to explain the weird headline phrasing.
If it’s a rental property, you would own it but maybe not consider it “your house” colloquially
He probably has multiple houses
A new non-toxic pesticide can be valuable regardless of the journalist who wrote an article.
Fussy parents though they may be, 7% of emergency visits is wildly high. Like… How is it possibly that high?
Who cares what China does?
Is this a big deal in terms of allowing people to more easily quit their jobs and take new ones?
Now do healthcare.
Which is completely irrelevant for why people were feeling bad about the economy for the last many months.
Not sure how to break this to you, but Biden was not elected in March 2020. He wasn’t even president in 2020. The last 3 years isn’t the last 4 years, which isn’t the last 5 years.
My point is if Powell wants to compare dates in good faith, he would make them consistent and reflect on that. “Groceries are up X% in the last 2 years but gas is down Y% during that same time. Maybe people find groceries more compelling than gas.” These are the types of things that legitimate economists and journalists do. Powell is not. He instead cherry picks smatterings of years to make the big numbers and incredulously claim that “smug liberals can’t look at the data.” But they are, and that’s why they’re baffled. He is just looking to dunk on “liberal elites”.
Really shitty discourse to accuse someone of not reading the article when I’m literally quoting it, but do you.
Gas prices are down 30% since June 2022. Dead even since March 2014. Why did he pick March 2020? Because it was the absolute lowest prices of the entire decade due to a global pandemic. Every date he picks to compare is arbitrary. It’s not a comparison of “people felt good in 202X, and now they don’t feel good. Let’s compare the data.” It’s cherry picking.
A true marker of the economy.
Other staples of life have also grown more expensive. Gas prices have gone up by about 50 percent in the past four years. Fuel-oil prices jumped by more than half from March 2020 to March 2024
Wow what totally innocuous and unbiased dates
I used to do inversion, but was swayed by James Hoffman’s taste experiments and concluding method.
