Wow, crazy that cutting UI benefits didn't stop people from being unemployed.

Democrats to the poors: Suck my nuts

New York

Residents of the Empire State will not be eligible to receive the extended unemployment benefits as Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) confirmed he will not apply for the aid.

“You cannot get water out of a stone, that is a fact and we have a $14 billion deficit, and we can’t pay for it,” Cuomo said in an interview with WHEC-TV on Wednesday.

He also expressed his disdain for FEMA, stating that “I'd rather do business with the old time bookie on the street corner than do business with FEMA”.

Some new numbers from the Netherlands

- 1 in 5 households has trouble paying their bills
- In Amsterdam, Utrecht and The Hague 1 in 3 households have trouble paying their bills
- Another wave of problems is expected when certain COVID-19 relief policies end (September)

Watched it a bit at random but it's an hilarious, compact sneak peek at modern stock exchanges and how they're rigged, in a way.

Perfect information :derp

Edit : I mean it's not news that computers factor heavily in stock trading, it's the case since the late eighties at least... But it's insane how razor thin the margins are. And fairly telling that an actual trader was pretty oblivious to all of it for a long time in his career before diving into it.

But even if more recruits start entering teacher preparation programs, they could end up with nowhere to go by next spring.

The country’s deepest economic downturn since the Great Depression has yet to hit most school districts, according to data compiled by the Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University. Fewer than a third of the 302 districts Edunomics researchers tracked had issued pink slips as of mid-August, and the ones that had gone out were often for nonteaching positions.

But Marguerite Roza, director of the Edunomics Lab, said teacher layoffs may dominate headlines over the next several months as districts spend down their cash reserves and states start axing their budgets.

“I actually think it could be as early as late fall – depending on when we get some clarity on federal money,” Roza said.

During the last recession, between 2008 and 2010, public schools shed more than 120,000 teaching positions, according to school finance expert Michael Griffith of the Learning Policy Institute. It would have been worse if the federal government had not extended nearly $100 billion in aid to schools: An additional 275,000 education jobs could have been lost.

A new report by the Pew Research Center found that a majority of young adults -- 52% -- lived with one or both of their parents in July. Pew's analysis of monthly Census Bureau data notes that this is higher than any previous measurement.
"Before 2020, the highest measured value was in the 1940 census at the end of the Great Depression, when 48% of young adults lived with their parents," says the report, published Friday. "The peak may have been higher during the worst of the Great Depression in the 1930s, but there is no data for that period."
Pew defines young adults as 18- to 29-year-olds. The number of young adults living with parents grew to 26.6 million in July, an increase of 2.6 million from February, Pew said.
