<r>Republican states have generally handled the economic impact of the CCP virus pandemic much better than Democrat states, based on unemployment data.

The lockdowns imposed in response to the coronavirus pandemic hammered the economy countrywide, with unemployment rising from a historically low 3.5 percent in February to a record high 14.7 percent in April, before gradually dropping to 7.9 percent in September. Yet states that Trump won in 2016 have dealt with the blow much better, the data indicates.

Of the 10 states with the lowest unemployment in September, nine went for President Donald Trump in 2016. Of the 10 states with the highest unemployment, nine went for Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton that year.

The contrast becomes yet more stark when the states’ unemployment rates before the pandemic are taken into account.

Unemployment rates in red states have risen on average by less than 2.7 percentage points compared to September the year before. In blue states, they rose nearly 5 points.

The biggest winner was Nebraska, where the rate only increased from 3 percent to 3.5 percent. In South Dakota, the rate went up from 3.4 percent to 4.1 percent and in Alaska, from 6.2 percent to 7.2 percent.

At the other end of the spectrum, Hawaii’s unemployment rate increased from 2.7 percent to 15.1 percent, Nevada’s from 3.7 percent to 12.6 percent, and California’s from 3.9 percent to 11 percent.

Republican-led states tended to impose less-severe lockdowns in response to the pandemic and open their economies up earlier.

The number of workers seeking unemployment benefits last week fell by 55,000 to 787,000, an encouraging sign, since economists polled by Reuters expected 860,000 weekly filings.

A total of more than 23 million Americans were receiving some form of unemployment assistance in the week ending Oct. 3, a drop of just over 1 million from the week prior. There were 1.4 million people claiming such benefits at this time last year.

Now that we know more about the coronavirus, and the terrible effects of lock downs, the opinion of the medical community is shifting.</r>

The Liberals and the NDP are so out of touch with working families like mine.

There is nothing to vote for in Canada if you are a blue collar worker. All the choices are awful.

I have no enthusiasm for Canadian politics.

I guess it's time for me to gear up and present myself

How does Donna Rump with a people's platform sound?

How does my main slogan go? ... "Rump for the people"

That's the slogan I was going to use. I've retired from politics, so I guess you can use it.

O'Toole and the Tories will repeal bills C-48 and C-69. They will open up our oil and gas sector to investment again and reclaim all those good paying jobs Justine offshored. That alone is reason enough to vote for the Conservatives.

You're right, there's no political spectrum in Canada. I've pretty much thrown in the political towel.

For only the second time in a lot of elections, the states has real choice on the ballot. Working class people have something to vote for and that scares the hell out of woke capitalists. We have nothing to vote for of course.

That started around when when they changed the name from CCF. Gramps was a CCF Mayor of Brantford ON & close friend to Tommy D

They were genuine humans, unlike most politicians who have lost their way .. conveniently

When they made Stephen Lewis their leader, he put his prog stamp on the party.

The Canadian provinces that have been hit hardest in terms of job losses are the ones that did not vote for Justine. But, he has been at war with Western provinces since his hair got him elected five years ago.

We miss Stephen Harper.

Compared to the job killing prog dictator we have now, I miss Martin, and Chretien.

The Chretien/Martin years of cutting regulatory red tape, smaller more efficient government, lower flatter and simplified taxes lead to increased investment, deficit elimination, and prosperity. Stephen Harper continued this path after the 2008 financial crisis which lead to Canada leading the G7 out of the global crisis. Oh and we had national unity under Harper. Thankfully, Justin Trudeau ended this nightmare.

you mean the liberals actually were liberal and not whatever the hell they are now?

What a betrayal the current sockboy is to liberal ideals.

It's not just the Liberals that have betrayed their ideals. The NDP has done a one eighty from Tommy Douglas stood for.

Hello sasquatch, it's very nice to see you here again.

Thanks. I've just been busy.

Busy is good...many people are not as busy as they would normally be in this pandemic.
