The speech seemed to have gone well, but all of it was lies. ALL of it.

Just for example, he said that 94 million Americans are "no longer in the labor force". Well, yes. He is trying to give the impression that 94 million Americans are unemployed, which completely false. There is a bigly difference between being out of the labor force and being unemployed. My mother, for example, is not in the labor force but is not unemployed - she is retired. My best friend John hasn't been in the labor force for two decades, is not unemployed, and not retired - he is medially disabled.

I haven't read all of the news reports about his speech this morning, but that was one example that I did have time to read this morning.

The funny thing is this will bite him in the ass later on. More and more Americans are falling out of the labor force and are not being replaced. The baby boomers are retiring, and my generation did not create as many babies. This is a trend that will continue for the next two decades. No matter what happens with the unemployment rate, Americans in the labor force will continue to drop.
So you were saying he was correct then, got it!

Thing is that the number of 94 million is bigger than it has ever been, it has grown to that huge number, it relates to the workforce participation rate which is at it's lowest since Carter was in office.

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
