Thread about unemployment, underemployment & underpaid employment.

About 28 million people are receiving unemployment benefits in the United States. That's about 17.5% of the workforce. Not all unemployed people are elibible for or apply for benefits. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) counts unemployment at about 10.2 % of the workforce. Many people were categorized as on temporary layoff rather than unemployed. Reclassifying them as out of work would increase the official number significantly.

Responding to my complaint, the Kansas Disciplinary Administrator just notified me that #KrisKobach admitted to unethical conduct & was referred to a diversion program.

Millions of people in the U.S. are appalled by the crimes & corruption of #PaulManafort, Donald Trump's campaign manager. Manafort used his wealth, his privilege & his position as a lawyer, to perpetrate crimes & corruption that have harmed people throughout the world. THREAD. Many of these crimes were ongoing until quite recently & were committed while he was the chair of Trump's campaign. It was fitting that Trump selected Manafort as his chairman because both men are dishonest and unscrupulous criminals.

’Twas the night before Christmas
When in the White House
The President tweeted,
Ignoring his spouse.

“No leader ever
has been so first rate.
I’m better than Santa
And America’s great!”

He decided to nestle
All snug in his bed
While border wall visions
danced in his head. When on the South Lawn
There arose such a clatter
He turned on Fox News to see
What was the matter.

When what to his wondering
Eyes in a daze
Came all his “best people”
In three different sleighs.
