More Americans are facing stretches of unemployment of six months or more, a worrisome sign for the U.S. economy. More than 1 in 4 workers without jobs have been unemployed for at least half a year, new data shows. That number is a post-pandemic high and a level typically only seen during periods of economic turmoil. In all, more than 1.9 million Americans had been unemployed “long term” in August, meaning they have been out of work for 27 weeks or more, a critical cliff when it comes to finding a job. That’s nearly double the 1 million people who were in a similar position in early 2023.

"President Trump said companies should no longer be required to report their earnings on a quarterly basis, an idea he explored during his first term that has gained traction recently...Instead, Trump argued, companies should report their earnings every six months. “This will save money and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday." Yeah, I'd prefer not having a clue how a company I'm trusting to do well with potential retirement money is doing. Great idea!

Damn you beat me. My cost basis is $27. What's your take on those down years? December 2022 did make me feel uneasy, but having gone through it I feel like I'm unfazed seeing large six digit "losses" anymore. Just part of the investing journey.

Nice job, bro. Cocaine will ruin your life. I stopped doing coke in 2014, and i stopped drinking alcohol in 2016. Stay the course, but realize that your destructive ways took time to settle in and create some chaos. The drugs didnt create a problem overnight; it was a slow, steady decline that likely took months or years. You have a mess to clean up and six days sober ain't gonna do it - especially if you're doing something like still drinking. Time takes time. Stay the course and put your best foot forward every step. Well done on six days.
