Let me know if you need more evidence of something almost anyone that's been paying attention already knew ID.  Job market nowhere near as good as you seem to think it is.  Apology will be accepted.

You are a stupid motherfucker.  I am an expert in the field. My experience speaks loudly for itself. Expert. Let that sink in a bit...people rely on my expertise. Schools that educate people rely on my expertise. Professionals make multiple times your salary rely on my expertise. Multiple fortune 100 Companies rely on my expertise. And you're going to say I am wrong because you say so?  Not a chance son, not a chance.

Should I bring up all of the presentations I've made (and been asked to make) at various universities and organizations regarding the job market, how to find a job, how to present a resume, etc?  Do you need a list?  At what point will you just accept that I know what I am talking about? 

You support Hillary based on her supposed "qualifications" yet question mine.  Insane.  Safe to say I am more qualified to do my job than she is to be president.  I'll stand by that as a fact as well...at worst we're equally qualified if you think I somehow exaggerated my qualifications.

Since you're putting the same amount of effort into this argument that you do for every other argument, basically, it popped in your head so of course it must be true...

He exaggerated the truth to make himself look good.  That's a key trait of both party's nominees.  You can deny that all you want, but it is indeed true.  A bit snarky?  Sure, but still true.

(Btw, if someone had your exact job, which of course automatically makes you an expert on jobs and the economy, has a different opinion than you, who do we believe? And if all numbers are manufactured by the government, and therefore false, why were they so bad for so long? And why did you believe the bad numbers, which I provided, you're welcome, and actually used them in an agument if they don't count? Oh, and what are the real numbers and who has them and how did you fnd them?

How foolish do you want me to make you look? 

My "opinion" as you call it isn't an opinion, it's a fact.  If someone thinks everything is beautiful and people aren't underemployed and/or didn't stop bothering to look for work, they are wrong.  That is a fact.  The gov't knows it too which is why they adjusted what qualifies as unemployed.

Nowhere did I say all numbers are fabricated.  I said the unemployment numbers are fabricated, and they are.  They changed the definition of unemployed to make the numbers look better.  I know you know this, so why you insist on pretending that they didn't is beyond me.

You're taking this way too personally.  What I said was if those numbers are true, how can those numbers be true and also these other numbers that if you use any logic must be false based on the original numbers also be true. It's a valid question pointing out the hypocrisy of the numbers.   

You're just going to have to live with the fact I know exactly what I am talking about and there's absolutely nothing you can do to disprove that.  You have been trying for days/weeks and every time I swat you away like a little bug.  I've seen it all man.  I've covered everything from factories to retail to fortune 100 companies.  I've hired professionals making $250K+ and I've hired line workers making $10/hr.  I've done just about everything short of fast food and home builders, though I have hired people into the corporate entity that owns/franchises out fast food chains.  There's very little in the job market that I haven't seen.  There's even less that I don't understand.  You can keep trying to discredit me if you want, but every time you do, my credentials become clearer and clearer.  It's up to you if you want to keep going, but you keep taking steps backwards and it might be wise to just quit while you have some dignity left.

Housing prices outside of hotspots are very fair. How much do you think a builder makes when they sell a home?

Beats me.  It's not necessarily about new homes.  Housing prices overall are back to increasing at crazy levels as they did before the bubble burst. 

Here's what I know though: I bought a new construction house in the middle of nowhere in TN in 2004 before the bubble burst.  I sold it in 2014 for roughly 20% more than I paid for it.  I had a house built in SC 2 years ago for 168K after all of the upgrades we did...that same exact house is being built in phase 2 starting at 172K with no upgrades.  It would be more than 200K with the same upgrades.  30K+ in 2 years?  Understandable when you're talking about 500K houses, but pretty steep under 200K. 

This is where people will just dismiss everything saying it's just my experience.  It's not.  The housing market is hotter here than most places (probably), but this is happening in more places than not.

#1357 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 508 weeks ago

I think some of you really need to understand economics better than you do. Housing prices are inflated. It's a mirage. Same as it was before. Eventually the bubble bursts. Same with the stock market. Look at history. The facts don't support the prices in either case. Then when the artificial prices implode, the person in charge gets blamed for reality while the person in charge when the artificial inflation happened gets all the credit for something that wasn't real. It's all a mirage that people don't understand at all.

It's going to be another shit 4 years for you, isn't it?

I'm sure you said the same thing about Obama too... So weird how you guys are all down in the dumps, yet retirement accounts have done nothing but go up for 7 years. Real estate has appreciated, often by double digits in many markets etc etc. I guess you prefer the W years where your money was on fire and your home value was cut in half? Is that better?

Unlike most people, I can actually think beyond me.  I'm fine and will be regardless of who wins. I have plenty of money set aside that I can live comfortably no matter what. However there's a world outside of me where people can't afford supposedly affordable health care. People are suffering in shitty jobs because they can't find work in good jobs they are qualified for.  We have serious security issues. Our country is more divided than its been in my lifetime. Race relations are going backwards because people are taking stands on the wrong issues.

We have the two worst presidential candidates ever and we're likely stuck with one of them and both will be a disaster for the country.  I'm not going to sit here and pretend that Clinton winning and ruining things is better than trump winning and ruining things. That's what you guys are doing.

I think you'll find that most aren't "Clinton fanboys" but find the prospect of a lunatic like Trump to be disastrous at best.

Unfortunately disastrous would be best for Clinton as well, but people keep living in the imaginary world where she's a good idea.

#1360 Re: The Garden » 2016 Presidential Election Thread » 508 weeks ago

Hillary's commercial on how she's going to create millions of good jobs is laughable at best. Her policies are just as bad as trumps, yet I see none of her supporters calling out her unrealistic plans. It's mind-numbing reading some of the one sided posts here. We get it...Trump sucks. We also get that Hillary sucks too, yetc I don't hear any of you admitting that for some reason. Trump this. Trump that. Clean up your own house first because it's a disaster.
