Seriously, who the fiick watches the State of the Union?! When has the SOTU materially affected ANYTHING?

I watched the Sharks get smoked by the Penguins, and then watched the Warriors play their worst game in four years against the Jazz.

That shows where my interest/loyalty lies....

whoops

The number of U.S. jobs eliminated due to foreign competition since President Trump's election last year has largely kept pace with previous years, according to a new report.

An analysis of Labor Department data by the labor coalition Good Jobs Nation found that more than 93,000 U.S. jobs have been eliminated since Trump's election due to foreign trade.

That's roughly on par with the previous five years, which saw an average of 87,500 jobs per year eliminated.

The coalition's analysis also found that the number of jobs outsourced by federal contractors has actually risen since Trump was elected. Since November 2016, some of the biggest federal contractors have offshored some 10,269 jobs, making up 11 percent of trade-related layoffs, compared to 4 percent in the previous five years.

Sometimes I think they just get bored out there. "Yeah, we know we can smoke these guys if we try, I'mma gonna try a behind-the-back alley oop with my off-hand. If it works, I'm gonna put it on my twitter!"
