Trump never went to college

??

Trump can’t read.

His daddy bought him entry and a diploma just like he bought him a way out of service in Vietnam. Showing up on campus now and then to accost co-eds is not the same thing as going to school.

Bill Barr’s whole career is to serve as a dollop of lard in the arteries of justice.

It is pretty funny to witness conservative lawyers suddenly embracing Wm O Douglas!  Penumbras for all!

It was often said that William O. Douglas (who was a genius) loved humanity and hated people.

News Item-May 2,2019



WASHINGTON—U.S. workers’ efficiency improved during the past year at the best pace in nearly a decade, laying groundwork for stronger wage growth and continued economic expansion.

The productivity of nonfarm workers, measured as the output of goods and services for each hour on the job, increased at a 3.6% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter from the prior three months, the Labor Department said Thursday. From a year earlier, productivity rose 2.4%, that was the best gain year-over-year since the third quarter of 2010, when the economy was just emerging from a deep recession.

Productivity tends to be strong in the early days of an economic cycle. The accelerating improvement nearly 10 years after the recession ended raises hopes that a combination of more efficient workers and Americans rejoining the labor force could provide the fuel necessary to keep one of the longest expansions in the post-World War II era running.

WASHINGTON—U.S. workers’ efficiency improved during the past year at the best pace in nearly a decade, laying groundwork for stronger wage growth and continued economic expansion.

The productivity of nonfarm workers, measured as the output of goods and services for each hour on the job, increased at a 3.6% seasonally adjusted annual rate in the first quarter from the prior three months, the Labor Department said Thursday. From a year earlier, productivity rose 2.4%, that was the best gain year-over-year since the third quarter of 2010, when the economy was just emerging from a deep recession.

Productivity tends to be strong in the early days of an economic cycle. The accelerating improvement nearly 10 years after the recession ended raises hopes that a combination of more efficient workers and Americans rejoining the labor force could provide the fuel necessary to keep one of the longest expansions in the post-World War II era running.


The upward trend in productivity began in 2016, at the tail end of the Obama administration. The recent gains could be a sign that an uptick in investment following tax-law changes passed in 2017 means businesses are spending on the technology and tools necessary to increase output. Some firms have turned to automation--from factory machines to shelf-scanning robots--to ramp up output while growing hours or payrolls more slowly.

"Productivity is going up just like it should if you have a capital-spending boom," Kevin Hassett, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said last week. "The machines people bought last year, they are turning them on this year."

Chad Syverson, a University of Chicago economist who studies productivity, said it's not likely that tax cuts, or any single event, would spark a productivity breakout. He's also cautious to declare there's been a change in the trend of sluggish gains. Short spurts in efficiency gains in recent decades have been followed by slowdowns.

"We may be seeing the first glimmers of coming out of the doldrums experienced during the past eight years," he said. "I'm not ready to throw a party yet."

Red feels himself shrinking, doesn’t like it, and doesn’t know how to make it stop.
Contemplating his tax cut usually helps.
