January and February are usually months where I expect to see poor employment numbers after the Christmas season, and those numbers are usually blamed on bad weather.
Must have had better than normal weather this year, that’s why the numbers are up.

It’s those damn Americans again, doing jobs that they said only Mexicans would do.
It’s amazing how the country responds when they finally have leadership worthy of this republic. It’s been a long time!
All lies! All LIES I tell you!!
