alot of the disconnect is in the way that the number's are calculated. The Bushies, Clinton's and Hussein administration(s) had much to do with the methodology changes in how all these number's are calculated-this is why you see what you are seeing. They are designed to tell a story rather than reflect actual reality. Look up how the job's number's are produced, specifically how the they are tabulated. That might help.
feel you anon, have seen that in the drill down of the real number's. Some, not all, of those white collars are responsible for doing this as they get performance bonus' for keeping costs down. Healthcare a perfect example. As long as they can get a body to occupy a chair getting the bonus is all they seem to care about.
read him for a long time. Also calculated risk until they went sort of broken clock-ish.

GM recalls 368,000 larger duty trucks for fire risks
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - General Motors Co said Friday it is recalling 368,000 medium- and heavy-duty diesel trucks equipped with engine-block heaters for fire risks after 19 reports of fires.
The recall covers some 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 4500, 5500 and 6500 trucks, 2017-2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with Duramax 6.6-liter diesel engines and an optional engine-block heater, including 324,000 U.S vehicles. The engine block heater cord or the terminals may short circuit and fail, GM said.
There are no reports of injuries, accidents or fatalities tied to the recall, GM spokesman Dan Flores said.
GM said the remedy for the issue was still under development, and told dealers on April 25 the company was working with the supplier “to obtain the required parts as quickly as possible.”
GM’s internal investigation began after a company engineer submitted a report in December to the company’s “Speak up for Safety” program after inspecting an engine-block heater recovered from a warranty return.
GM stopped building trucks with the optional combination late last month.

Abe again vows to revise Japan's top(Constitution) law, aiming for enactment in 2020
Seventy-two years after the enactment of Japan’s pacifist Constitution, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe renewed his pledge Friday to revise the supreme law and emphasized that he still hopes to see an amended Constitution go into effect in 2020.
“I made clear at this very forum, two years ago, that I hoped 2020 would be the year this nation sees a newly revised Constitution come into effect. That hope hasn’t changed for me,” Abe said in a prerecorded video message shown during a forum to discuss constitutional change hosted by a conservative grassroots group aligned with Japan Conference (Nippon Kaigi).
The pacifist Constitution has been a topic of debate because its war-renouncing Article 9 bans the country from maintaining any “war potential.”
Abe has argued the article should be revised to formalize the legal status of the Self-Defense Forces, although the government has long maintained the SDF are constitutional despite Article 9 and polls have shown a majority of voters support that interpretation. Pacifist political forces remain opposed to Abe’s ideas, fearing any revision of Article 9 could change the status quo and lead to unrestrained reinterpretation of the article in the future.
Referring during Friday’s forum to a poll that indicated about 90 percent of respondents had a positive impression of the Self-Defense Forces, Abe said: “This level of trust is something the SDF has earned for themselves,” and that “now it is time for us in politics to do our part as well.”
“We must write the role of the Self-Defense Forces into the Constitution to put an end to the debate over its constitutionality,” he added.
Abe proposed such a revision at the same rally in 2017, adding at the time that he hoped to see an amended top law enacted in 2020.
In a video message shown at last year’s forum, however, Abe didn’t mention the 2020 target, in a move that observers said underlined the political difficulty he faced in achieving his long-held ambition.
This year Abe re-emphasized the 2020 goal, but Diet sessions on constitutional matters have remained stalled. Political observers say that whether Abe is able to reboot his drive for constitutional change will depend on the results of the Upper House elections scheduled for July.
The forum is hosted by a conservative group that has promoted a revision of the top law and this year attracted 1,100 people to its main event, held on Constitution Day, according to the organizers.
Among groups supporting the event is Japan Conference, the nation’s largest political group representing conservative, right-wing and nationalist causes.
Abe is known to be a strong advocate of constitutional revision, but his push for change has been brought to a deadlock in recent months with opposition parties resisting reforms and Upper House elections looming in the summer. Discussions at the Commission on the Constitution at the House of Representatives have been on hold since the start of the year when the ordinary Diet session opened.
A bill to revise the national referendum law was tabled for discussion, but following a data scandal that found statistical inaccuracies in employment figures opposition parties have refused to attend discussions at the commission.
