Sunny in San Diego

I’ve been busy lately with my busiess research, some side projects, job hunting, hitting the gym 5 times a week, and of course the pregnancy; which includes reading up on and researching parenting and child development. Add to that the fact the little guy kicks and pokes Debbie late nights and early mornings so a bit of sleepless nights gets included in that mix as well. And Debbie is only at 23 weeks pregnant.

It seems the little guy is stubborn and likes to play games. Maybe all kids do this, I don’t know, but even at the doctor the doctor gave up trying to catch him when rubbing the stephoscope(?) on Debbies belly. He was like “I’m not chasing this kid around all day to show you his heart rate.” So he just showed us through another ultrasound on the house. That was cool because a baby is expensive with no insurance or job.

Well Debbie has insurance but her deductible is $5k just for 70 percent coverage. And many things aren’t covered or barely covered. So a 500 buck test might only
add $250 to the deductible. But we still had to pay the doctor or lab 500 bucks.
I’d say we are going to owe like $10k and insurance will cover the other $10k.
So even with insurance it sucks. Debbie’s mom has been helping us out a lot from afar so far and I’m grateful for that. hopefully I find some job soon.

San Diego sucks for jobs at this point. I got a lot of calls about jobs in las Vegas, minnesota, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Connecticut, north Carolina, and Florida but Over the past month San Diego and Los Angeles areas have the same jobs open since 3 or 4 months ago. who knows. I’ve had a couple of interviews with companies in Florida so we’ll see where that goes. Debbie’s mom will be excited if we move to South Florida cause that’s where she’s at but i like San Diego. then again with no jobs can’t
really say it’s that great. But they say the economy is improving. For who?

What does the unemployment rate really mean? How is it that after careful re-calculations that there were about 900,000 more jobs lost last year, yet that
doesn’t seem to be calculated into the jobless report? They say those numbers probably will have to be re-tallied again for recent months. And then we hear about another 20,000 jobs lost last month, which may or may not be an accurate number. It does look like the economy is improving ever so slightly, but at the same time how do you continue to lose jobs, find out there were close to another million jobs lost you didn’t calculate last year and then suddenly the unemployment rate goes down 3 percentage points? It just sounds like one big Obama bullshit ploy. Hey I voted for the guy, but at this point I’m just assuming these politicians are full of shit. And he hasn’t done a damn thing but waste more money for no reason at all. Great the banks got big bonuses yet haven’t done a damn thing for anybody. It seems all the data they are pushing seems to be wrong. Blatantly and corruptly wrong.

Do any of these new numbers count for anything? You lose an additional 900,000 jobs last year and the unemployment rate goes unchanged from those months? How is it that in a 9 month time frame, you lose an additional 100,000 jobs per month on average and none of this changes the data? So instead of say 10.3 percent, maybe it should have been 11.3 percent unemployment rate. Which brings us to the current month and no new jobs gained and yet the unemployment rate goes down.

Maybe there should be a massive cut in politicians. Companies have been cutting for the past few years. Well the Governments are broke, we don’t need most of these people who do nothing but lobby for more money. At least then they’d actually show they understood the American working class citizens. Slash say 25 percent of the politicians in the US. 99 percent of them are useless wastes of space anyway. Look at California. San Diego still gives out bonuses yet we’re broke. If you slash 25 percent of the Politician’s from Federal, State, and Local you’d cut a lot of wasted spending. Do we really need most of these con artists? No. We’d save a hell of a lot of money though.
