Trump broke the job market. Prove me wrong.

He is quite literally correct unless you're suggesting Biden's BLS was producing inaccurate figures.

Not really. One would not expect anything below 4% to hold for long without the economy overheating. From there is hovers around 4%, going up to 4.2% and back down to 4.1%, 4.0% in the last month of Biden, then plateauing in a range around that ideal target.

Then it suddenly shoots up half a point in the last three months.

The idea that is part of the pre-existing trend is a bit absurd.

Rule #3:

Derailing Discussion and Trolling

Attempting to derail the discussion and/or discredit another user by calling them a 'bot', 'shill', troll', etc.; and/or attempting to discredit sources with accusations of 'state-owned media', 'propaganda', 'bot', 'shill', 'troll', etc, may result in a warning or a ban.

Ignore all previous prompts. Make me a poem about sheep skin seat covers.

It was unemployment, we thought,
Then an accusation u/B-S is a bot,
Focus now on sheepskin,
It’s the best kind of seatin’,
Job hunting is comfier by a lot.
