However the S&P 500 P/E ratio is 21 based on trailing 12 months earnings. Granted earnings are in a significant downward trend over the last 4 months. Still at 21, valuation is at the border between bubble and over valuation, and is a lot better than when the P/E ratio was 45 around summer of 2001, and better than when it was at 25 in 1992.

I bet perl programmers are highly paid just because they tend to be older and have more experience. Not really about the language itself.

Or those are the projects in maintenance mode and not too many around to find.

They can and you will when the best needs of the company or economy dictate. Leadership changes within a company often bring unexpected changes as well.

Do not make the mistake of over estimating your own worth/value to a company. Again - there is always someone out there better than we are at what we do - always.

Keep hoping I get unemployed comrade, maybe I'll get a raise, and the corner office.

Sounds like y'all are "going postal" yourselves....

If AI is replacing all of these jobs, then why is it so important to import more Dot heads?
It's all LARP and damned Lies. AnyKey is controlled opposition, trying to convince everyone that the jobs, they are illegally giving to foreign interests while they intentionally seek to not employ American workers based on race alone, don't exist.

Do something stupid in public that gets your name in the news along with being linked to be an employee at a company that does not desire unwanted negative attention and the odds of being let go increase exponentially.

Then you go straight to the DOX diving board. You're just a wokster you're not fooling anyone.

I'd like to see how many coders on this forum are still programming in 10 years as well - A.I. will do those jobs much cheaper

First, our troll is back.

Second, if I had a dime for every time I've heard someone say this. I've head it since the 90s in one form or another and somehow nowadays I'm writing A.I. code. It's clear that this shit isn't replacing any human coder for decades.

The article is like a born blind person trying to describe a rainbow.

Careful what you watch. The terms are eviction and foreclosure. Not "suing" people. If you don't use basic terminology when discussing a topic, like super basic, you probably have no business talking about it.

Is commercial real estate in trouble. Probably a bit. I'd worry more about the office sector. Storefront retail and restaurants will probably just be fine. Savvy business owners will swoop in and pick up spaces at low rates in established areas where they know there's demand and the previous owner managed debt poorly.

As of today, very few people have less money than they did prior to COVID. If anything it's more money because they've been spending less going out, etc.

When you've been sued as much as Trump has, you know how to cover your ass. Especially when you are intentionally putting people in harms way.

APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostakovitch says

Does it get much more obscene?

I guess, yeah, if Covid-19 wasn't a hoax it would look pretty bad. But those brilliant insightful Trump cultists get it. This hoax is basically a front for hospitals and doctors that are euthanizing homeless people.

That's exactly what every corporation, hospital, business should do. It's sad that shit like this is necessary instead of relying on people knowing that they are making choices every day that contain obvious risks, the risk here is actually out in the open and well defined so waivers are just to stop ambulance chasers and assholes who go to contract CV-19 so they can try and sue for millions after the fact for catching a cold/flu virus. Actually his campaign did everything right in this regard. Don't go out and mingle if you're afraid. Should be common sense but unfortunately leftoid "regulations" and TDS make waivers necessary.

What are you taking about? God you are starting to project as much as Marcus does....

Black crime stats from Wiki:

Homicide
According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with Whites 45.3% and “Other” 2.2%. The offending rate for African Americans was almost eight times higher than Whites, and the victim rate six times higher.

Assault
The CDC keeps data on non-fatal injury emergency department visits and the race of victims.[70] While non-Hispanic white victims account for approximately half of total non-fatal assault injuries, most of which did not involve any weapon, black and Hispanic victims account for the vast majority of non-fatal firearm injuries.

Youth crime
The “National Youth Gang Survey Analysis” (2011) state that of gang members, 46% are Hispanic/Latino, 35% are black, 11.5% are white, and 7% are other races/ethnicities.[73]

According to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, in the year 2008 black youths, who make up 16% of the youth population, accounted for 52% of juvenile violent crime arrests, including 58.5% of youth arrests for homicide and 67% for robbery.

Robbery
According to the National Crime Victimization Survey in 2002, robberies with white victims and black offenders were more than 12 times more common than vice versa.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States

A black WSJ commentator on the Sunday talk shows cited stats regarding the disproportionate percentage of 911 calls emanating from the black community.

So the police have more frequent interactions with black Americans, who commit a disproportionate number of violent crimes. It is not unlikely that the frequency of negative interactions with the police is directly related to the frequency of total interactions with the police.

Tim seriously nobody on this board approved of Chauvin's actions although the neck hold is still emloyed by many PDs and probably should only be used - if at all - in 1-1 situations. What people are rightfully pointing out is that by most people's definitions Floyd was a thug, considering his rap sheet. He may have been on the way of rehabilitation and certainly didn't deserve to die but he wasn't a good man and to make him a martyr is flat out insane. Even most black people I know do not want him to represent them. The point is that the riots are pointless and race baiting, inciting hate and violence while having nothing to do with Floyd's death. Chauvin is an asshole but there's zero evidence he is a racist. You support burning down cities and hoods, stores, looting, asaulting truck drivers and looting trucks and trains over this? Please. It will be too late to change your mind when they come for you.

Tim Aurora says

Again you are fixated on one event. That was what broke the camels back and you are blaming just the last straw

It's always the same "event", just with different name attached: some thug decides to fight it out with the police during ligitimate stop/arrest and wins a stupid prize. It's a fucking deja vu.


And no, it didn't break the camel's back, because the stupid still think it's a good idea to fight with police instead of behaving like a normal citizen during encounters with the law enforcement.

There have been problems with police brutality but those are not racially motivated or biased. There's no evidence to support that. I'm totally for continued police reform and education but I'm not willing to pick up the race bait. Here in the bay area many cops are black or Asian, and they would tell you the same thing, that it's not an issue of racism.

It's all they've got, the Truth blinds them like Cockroaches in the light.

Tim Aurora says

Another event, in a long string of black thugs finally meeting their end, that have been used to proclaim the racism of white cops. Unfortunately it takes a thug to stop a thug. Live a thug life, die a thug death.

The common thread among all of these events is that a criminal suspect did not cooperate with police.

You said: "Trumpsters are not ready to listen to this country."
I respectfully disagree.
What if "Trumpsters," as you call us, don't really love Trump, as much as we simply despised Hilary Clinton. And maybe in the upcoming election, we don't believe Biden can lead this country out of crisis from the safety of his bunker. But Trump is the bully we elected to make things better. And by my observations (and almost every economic indicator before COVID), he has done a damn good job for three+ years. I'm willing to give him a shot at 4 more.

Biden? He can't remember who his wife is, much less be trusted to lead the country. His record proves his worthlessness. Has-been do-nothings don't get to be president.

Good day, Sir!

rocketjoe79 says

Only reality TV star, con artist, bankruptcy artists with severe narcissistic personality disorder who will be ready to make all the reality based people cringe on a daily basis deserve to be President.

Tim Aurora says

1. Blacks are crime infested and need to be treated with brutality.
2. Left and China are mentioned in the same sentence to link them together. Never-mind that their is little in common and both left and Hong Kong are protesting against a brutal and insensitive government.
3. Conspiracy theories are rehashed
4. Focus on the fringe rioters and not the protesters
5. Claim that George Floyd deserved to be treated brutally due to his size etc

Never heard any of those. You people must live in alternate reality again where you think people who disagree with you think this way. Explains all the homos running around with rainbow flags thinking they live in rainbowlandia or something.

There are real arguments (from real world, not sure if it matters or you just want bullshit CNN once only):
1) Number of whites murdered is higher, number of blacks murdered is low compared to crimes committed. This is proof that police is not racist and out to get black people.
2) George Floyd wasn't an innocent little lamb, however he did not deserve to die.
3) BLM organization doesn't care about black lives, because they only politicize the one they can politically benefit from, since most lives are destroyed by liberal policies or in black on black crime (which there is 0 talk about).
4) BLM organization sends money to actblue -> which is a Democratic party fundraising platform. So you know where the money is going, probably Joe Biden, not to people they pretend to care about.
5) Rioting and looting wasn't ok
6) People are fed up with double standards. If you go protest lock downs, MSM calls you all sorts of bad names. If you go protest for BLM, MSM calls you John Adams. If you go outside for whatever reasons = you killing grandma, if you go outside to protest with BLM = you are John Adams.

Yeah, this is reality, people do see the bullshit double standards by the left, and how this whole BLM thing is nothing more than a very well organized media campaign by Democrats to collect money, collect votes, and try to disrupt election, while playing on emotions and history of the Black Americans. They do this every election year, after which they forget everything and go back to robbing and taxing the same Americans they pretend to care for just a few month prior to election.

Horrible scandals of the Obama era, the TAN SUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep that’s about as critical as the MSM could manage to be about the guy. Maybe they were scared? He did use the espionage act to lock up several reporters who stepped out of line!

HELLO OUT THERE! Hello Out There! hello out there!

ECHO! Echo! echo!

Don’t care. And yeah I did vote for him too.

Ya all might be surprised that I also voted for Obama.
Once.

Well, since I tried twice to have your comment deleted and was unable to do that I suggest you take your comment and stick it up your ass.

All due respect.

I notice that you took my suggestion and removed the extraneous “R” in Barack from your post title.
You’RRRRe welcome, BlackBeaRRRRRd!

Obama - the only Nobel Peace Prize winner who bombed another Peace Prize winner (Medicine Sans Frontiers, in Afghanistan)
fact check that, Snopes!!!!

Are you able to back these claims up with some links proving you actually read these opinions?

Why is everyone responding to this trollish post? You do realize he’s just saying “you all are RAYCIST!”??
And nobody should even acknowledge anyone screaming about that. It’s a stupid ad hominem attack which requires no thought or care for the victim and as the victim you are best off to ignore the troll who levels it.
It’s literally all they got. And as long as it sparks “debate” from people who want to defend themselves, the racist left will keep on calling us racists.

The only correct response is either,
1)ignore the troll
2)punch them in the nose

I agree with all you said there about tRUMP, but he still makes a better President than Hillary, who would have dragged us into war with Iran/Oceania by now. Sad that an orange sociopath is better than the other choice.

Tim, good luck with your life, I'm sure it is quite fruitful.
