Only since Nixon. Before that the US built all sorts of massive infrastructure projects like China does now.

We're only affluent now because everyone believes our tulips are actually worth something.

No because of the (insert minority party) meddling.

Always excellent grain harvests. Economy is strong.

What do you prefer as your source of propoganda? USA today or Good Morning America?

LOL yes the same amount of women were in the workforce in the 1950s as today. Truck drivers, police officers, engineers, surgeons, etc... women didn't stay at home in the 1950s..

All of the baby boomers were raised by single moms too?

Unemployment rate uses the same math as Chairman Maos grain harvests.

So if they eliminated unemployment, nobody would be looking for a job and the rate would be 0%?

It was around 60% in the 1950s when women stayed at home. Now workforce is about 46% women and it is still 60%?

What would happen to the unemployment rate if they changed the amount of time people could collect benefits to 99 weeks like in 2009?

Would we still have a super strong job market with 3% unemployment?

People who get their news from Good Morning America think 3% unemployment = 97% employment.

Mad max/famine situation unemployment will be 0% strong strong jobs market.

Unemployment numbers are fudge.

If you go to the poorest housing project the unemployment rate will be under 3% because nobody is eligible to collect unemployment.

Employment rate is around 60%

Smells fruity and tastes sweet but burns like hell and leaves a rotten aftertaste in your mouth.

Sure, aisle 5 near the dishwashing soap.

That was their employment. Now they get to go to "college" for 142 months for more training.

If it is a shared meter, I would suggest she puts it in one of the other tenants names.

I'm in the early stages of moving from NYC to South Philly. I am utterly blown away by how clean and well kept everything is in South Philly compared to what I am used to. I feel like I am in Canada or Europe. I didn't think such clean and well cared for urban neighborhoods still existed in the US. You can walk from Passyunk to Rittenhouse Square and not see hardly any graffiti and smell no urine at all.

Philadelphia completely underrated, it is a national treasure.

Depends on what you mean by biking. If you are planning to put on rainbow colored spandex and do a 100km race through the streets, Philly kind of sucks for cycling.

If you just want to cruise around leisurely to see the city and use the bike as a sort of transportation and enjoy yourself, Philly is fantastic for cycling. I'm a daily bike commuter in NYC and to me Philly is so much better. The roads are narrower so the cars go slower. Philly is a fantastic city to explore by bike, IMHO the best city for bike adventures in the USA.

You don't have to worry about getting run over by a psycho because traffic is so bad cars don't have a chance to go that fast. Just watch out for cars like when you were 10
