Happy Friday All! Another Good Jobs Report Today
Friends, I am still away but on this day of another good jobs report, wanted to share this foundational Hopium graph with you, newly updated and fresh.
This single graph tells the story of America since the Cold War ended and a new age of globalization began - with Democrats, things get better. Republicans, on the other hand, have repeatedly failed to do their part, and have now become something dangerous, and illiberal.

Simon, your ‘Net Job Creation’ graph speaks volumes in one simple space. Can you push this to the DNC for billboards across the US? This is precisely the message we need to get in front of, well everyone, of course, but more importantly in front the undecided and right leaning folks. It would be great to have unlimited exposure everywhere. Have to say that I am NOT a fan of billboards, but this simple graph on a huge billboard says more in a one second read, than a hundred words. And by the time they want to look away, they’ve got it! If folks know of a way to get this out into view for the public at large, please help get this out!
It has seemed clear for a long time that Democrats understand that people need not only jobs, but good jobs, that good jobs are essential to provide for a good life. Republicans, it has appeared to me for along time, enjoy making jobs hard to find and not necessarily adequate for providing a good life. It's a huge, basic dichotomy. I remember Republicans calling businesses "job creators," as though people who work are supposed to be grateful to employers simply for providing jobs, without mentioning the big picture, which is that workers make our economy and society run.
