That's an odd way to admit some of the things you're into, but I generally don't judge people for their kinks. Consenting adults and all that.

You're kind of an odd one, you know that?
You're welcome to criticize me if you think you know enough to do so. I love seeing the things people come up with.

Since I'm welcome to, then I will.

Maybe work on your reading comprehension.

The recent job losses there are dramatic and those predictions may never come to fruition, but I hope they do.

Almost half (IIRC) of the increase in the unemployment numbers can be accounted for by the layoffs and resignations among government workers.
I haven't really looked into other sectors, but I agree that the estimate is probably optimistic.

There will be more manufacturing in the US though. Just maybe not a big boom in job additions. Automation and AI will be accounting for a lot of new manufacturing when it comes, especially in chips and things like that.
Assuming, of course, that the SC doesn't completely invalidate Trump's tariffs.

Operation Warp Speed 

But still you blame Trump and pretend the left had nothing to do with it. Trump made it available but left mandated it with Auto pen walking corps Biden. 

The pandemic affected all countries and as such, I doubt was tied in to your electoral or even menstrual cycle.

While other countries reacted quickly, all Trump did was to block everyone other than US passport holders from coming from Chyna and other countries he didn't like (so infected people were still coming in), and it was after the first cases were already in the USA (locking the gate after the horse has bolted). Then he did nothing but denied it was happening, defunded major health groups (that bloody helped, eh?), saying it would "just disappear like magic", and suggest we ingest bleach/light globes/fish-tank cleaner or something. For months!

Trump was the President during most of the pandemic. He was the one with the responsibility. power and position to do something. The Dems were relatively incapable by comparison and it is idiocy to suggest that they are somehow more to blame for the pandemic in the US than Trump.

My reading comprehension is just fine. Your ability to understand the context of a statement however......

Stalker confirmed.

Anything to say on topic, which is not other posters?

It's easier to stalk you guys in your country. Your government has destroyed any anonymity you could ever have.
That being said, I said what was needed quite a while back. 
You'll notice that you're not really staying on topic either so.....

You're excused. Thank you for being so kind as to ask for it.
