Germany does have a memorial to traitors. The resistance to the Nazi Government. Treason isn't always wrong. Sometimes it is the only moral and ethical solution to a murderous oppressive regime. Being a traitor to one's own country is perfectly fine if your country is a warmongering monster that is also assembly line murdering people that it views as less than human.

So carrying that percentage, it would be ~77,000 involved in sex trafficking.

One point I wasn't clear on, you said they could could b counted multiple times, but if it was resolved they were also removed?
So the wording on the NCMEC is what I posted above
Likewise, if an entry is withdrawn and amended or updated, that would also be reflected in the total.
I take that to mean yes, but honestly i'm not entirely sure.

How the fuck can that be real.
It is real but it's also a bit misleading when taken without any other statistics or information.
This number represents reports of missing children. That means if a child runs away multiple times in a year, each instance would be entered into NCIC separately and counted in the yearly total. Likewise, if an entry is withdrawn and amended or updated, that would also be reflected in the total.
In 2019 NCMEC assisted law enforcement and families with more than 29,000 cases of missing children.
Case type:
  • 91 percent endangered runaways.
  • 4 percent family abductions.
  • 4 percent critically missing young adults, ages 18 to 20.
  • Less than 1 percent nonfamily abductions.
  • 1 percent lost, injured or otherwise missing children.
Of the nearly 26,300 runaways reported to NCMEC in 2019, 1 in 6 were likely victims of child sex trafficking.

Obviously that's only the stats for the cases that the NCMEC works, but I feel like it's probably accurate all the way across the board.

But a preliminary analysis by economists Hilary Hoynes and Jesse Rothstein found that states where unemployment benefits were higher relative to lost wages actually saw less of a drop in employment. In other words, more generous payouts havent been associated with more job loss.
Correct, because it allowed people to keep spending to keep the consumer economy going. As soon as that goes away there will be a huge drop in spending which will cause an increase in job losses.

Now they're getting letters saying the DOL overpaid so they won't be getting payments unless it's paid off.

If he can prove the person is a coward in some way then so be it, but as it is the burden of proof is on him and he's proven to be a lying sack of shit in the past.

Not true with the stimulus unemployment. You do not have to show that you are actively looking for a job
Actually it does, as of July unless you are drawing it for a furlough or temporary layoff you have to actively be looking for a job and reporting your weekly work searches. Originally they weren't doing that because they wanted people to be able to immediately return to their positions when it opened back up rather than people finding new jobs while they were laid off and fucking up a business reopening and forcing them find a new person for that position.

@monkmith No, he's not confusing them, he just doesn't know what he's talking about.
