April county unemployment drops sharply to 7%
Thanks again Don, many times over for your excellent reality checks. I agree that capitalism is the best economic system in history but oligarchs and politicians keep putting it into the decline and fall mode with their destructive greed so we have to work very hard to save it. It's time for another Paul Samuelson, ...Anon92107 | May 19, 12:50 p.m.
Two bodyguards of Rosarito's police chief beat up law student
You just can't make this stuff up. Beating a law student to teach him what exactly? The Police Chief's bodyguards? Again? It looks like the good people of Rosarito need bodyguards to protect them from the current Police regime. Sheesh.Woooosh | May 19, 12:11 p.m.

Suit alleges SEC wouldn't pursue Madoff-like probes
Buyer beware seems the only sheriff. The SEC, which deceives investors worldwide, should be dissolved. The FBI should handle these cases, or State government. Reform will occur after a crash, 2008 wasn't enough apparently.Psycholizard | May 19, 10:21 a.m.
San Diego has cleanest air in six decades
Anyone who lived in San Diego 50 years ago doesn't need a report to know our air has improved. We should thank the engineers who fixed our autos, the auto companies who spent the billions for the redesign, the politicians who mandated the changes and our citizens for all those smog mandated repairs and tests. ...Psycholizard | May 19, 10:05 a.m.

Anon92107: Capitalism, which I believe is the only viable economic system, is on a self-destructive path. It also was on such a path in the late 19th and early 20 centuries, but Progressives and Populists rose up, with Teddy Roosevelt providing the leadership, and the system was reformed and ultimately saved. But when today's Americans ...Don Bauder | May 19, 7:25 a.m.

Don, very good description of our greatest cultural threat.

Visduh: All economic statistics are subject to the caprices of number-crunching. People get all excited about a rise or a fall of a certain statistic, but in many if not most cases it is noise. Best, Don BauderDon Bauder | May 18, 10:29 a.m.
April county unemployment drops sharply to 7%
Murphyjunk: The headline unemployment statistics miss a lot of things. A person may have a job, but it pays much less than his or her prior job. This is reflected in income figures. For example, you have to look elsewhere to find that in the first two years of the purported recovery, the average net ...Don Bauder | May 18, 10:27 a.m.

April county unemployment drops sharply to 7%
This sharp drop in the unemployment rate is likely a measurement issue, and not real. The feeling out on the street is that jobs are still scarce, those that are available often pay so little that they are hardly worth taking, and that the trend is not really improving. I'll expect the rate to be ...Visduh | May 18, 8:56 a.m.

New lawsuit challenges Todd Gloria's pledge to open government
The problem with Gloria the hack is that it's unclear which political party he really prefers. I've always thought it's the simply the Gloria Party.

Anon92107: In the 1980s, when American companies began massively sending jobs offshore to low- and slave-wage nations, the seeds of our current difficulties were planted. During the same period, the mentality of American business turned completely toward greed. Companies had once believed that they had many constituencies: employees, communities, vendors, customers.
