3. I agree. If I'm understanding this correctly, the 2nd quarter job loss in 2020, was the worst since the Depression

At least I recall that the initial job loss during 2nd Quarter of 2020, when Covid shut us down was. (I'm not good with economics but could be wrong lol).

So if this 2nd Quarter loss was the worse since 2nd Quarter in 2020 it is effectively the 2nd worse 2nd Quarter job loss since the Depression?

And if that's correct, as alarming as it should be, the MSM is doing nothing but talkin about Diddy.

It's no wonder the spoon fed public is ignorant.
