Peace___Frog 08/01/18 5:19:35 PM #10:	It's a jury trial, so it's subject to the issues that come along with that. Here's a thread that summarizes it well, imo. https://twitter.com/renato_mariotti/status/1024456060940300289 Key pieces: 14/ One journalist asked me why the government stayed away from discussing Manaforts political work while the defense emphasized it. The prosecution wants to portray this as a standard casethey have enough evidence to convict and dont want to throw a wild card in there. 16/ Even a single juror can hang the jury, which needs to be unanimous to reach a verdict. So if the defense can convince one juror that the prosecution is unfair, that can generate a win. I put win in quotes because a hung jury means the prosecution can try the case again. --- ~Peaf~ <cite>Peace___Frog posted [p:906102431] in Politics C...

It has to do with how wages work. When you reduce unemployment wages fall due to a higher job pool which is filled out with lower paying jobs for entries into the pool. People's pay didn't go down. More jobs were added that were lower paying. It is like how when Amazon joins an area with like 20,000 new factory jobs. It soaks up all the unemployment with like $12 an hour jobs. Thus, all the new entries into the market are those jobs which are paid lower which lowers the average wage of workers in the area. People aren't losing money. Thus, the comment is misleading. "If anyone says they are gaining financially due to Trump is lying through their teeth" is just stupid. I am gaining financially.

kevwaffles 08/03/18 1:18:54 PM #45:	Corrik, we're talking about a 0.5% change in unemployent rate over the course of a year. The effect that has on mean and especially median wages is insignificant. You're also presenting it that literally 100% of those jobs are in the bottom of the income range. You don't need very many outliers on the plus side to offset a mean change. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 <cite>kevwaffles posted [p:906205021] in Politics C...

Except I'm talking about the part where mathematically it isn't for the purpose of calculating an average.

kevwaffles 08/03/18 1:53:09 PM #49:	Your examples go from a sample size of 11 to 15. That'd be bare minimum a 26.7% decrease in unemployment, and that assumes the sample size of 15 represents 100% employment which never happens, so realistically that's more a minimum unemployment decrease in the neighborhood of 30%. --- "One toot on this whistle will take you to a far away land." -Toad, SMB3 <cite>kevwaffles posted [p:906206823] in Politics C...
