US weekly jobless claims total 6.6 million, vs 3.1 million expected

Many still cannot even through to apply because the phone lines are either busy or the websites cannot handle the traffic. Next week will be higher!

We are extremely dim unfortunately. To the point of completely brain dead. The brainwashed lefties are goners due to fake news lobotomy. And the right wingers are caught up in the left/right paradigm. This is a global take over of every country in the wor!d. It's not a USA/Trump/Democrat issue as a lot of GLPers think.

Talk to the virus sheep, they'll tell you it's totally worth it.

there's a saying in the States, if you don't feed Americans for 3 days, they'll start killing you for food

expect massive riots in upcoming months

Yes it has made me sick to see so many American friends and family get brainwashed into thinking this is about the usual us political sideshow. They think they are the only country that matters.

Well, he told you you gonna be tired of winning!

fejk njuz

they expected 6.5 mil this week
per ZH

We burned our economies so we can stay out of the hospital with a pain that lasts for a week and might make us fight for life, and prevent our parents to die.

II can tell you right now, two months from now many would take the gamble with the virus over eating dirt or their neighbour.

You think $1,200 is OK for the plebes, and the Banks get trillions?

That is fair? You really have no argument, logic, or facts. Not surprising.

Taking us back to the Obama years

A good economy, lowest unemployment rate and a Dow explosion wasn’t working out well for them

We're diving straight into the shitter anyway kill the federal reserve and start the fuck over. Now.

what the fuck did you expect to happen when the govt. shut down most business at the snap of their fingers?

The Dems will flip the script soon after all their state governors demand Fed action and lock everyone in their homes for months.

Expect to hear: SEE ORANGE MAN IS A BAD DICTATOR!

Oh, nevermind then. Doom off.

What do you think was going to happen when the federal government says they are going to kick in an additional $600/mo on top of what the state offers. COVID has turned into a $$$$ industry. There are TRILLIONS of $$$$ falling from the sky. No one wants to be the sucker who still goes to work while everyone else is sitting home making more than they were making on their job.

good insight! and truth is yes!

I guess the fed will have to raise interest rates now! They always lowered them when the job numbers were 'good' to pump the stock market due to 'inflation'.

Better buy some stock. Each time bad news comes out it goes up. Wonder why????

They can't. Higher interest rates entice people to put money into savings accounts instead of into the stock market. Consumers need to be leveraged up to their eyeballs for the consumption economy to work. Saving money is a big no no. Spend spend spend!!!

75% of these jobs are hourly wages that are forced shut... many non essential stores are closed.. Doesn't mean their jobs are gone, it just means they have been shut by the government.. they should obviously still get unemployment but it artificially makes you think of higher then normal jobs are gone.

Ready for great depression x 100 ?

Isn’t it lovely?

Whoops. Sorry for double posting this info. I’ll use your thread now, Op.

Stocks heading back up! The algorithms like this because more work for them.

Just wait until we resort to negative rates.
