      @LuFins-Dad zerohedge usually comes out with that info in a timely basis. But not yet today.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Black and Hispanic unemployment is at a record low

                      There have never been more Black and Hispanic Americans in the workforce, Friday’s Labor Department job report showed.

                      The jobless rate for Hispanics hit a record low of 3.9% in September, while African Americans maintained its lowest rate ever, 5.5%.

                      Oh, wait. That was from 2019. My bad...

                      Jobless rates rise in May for all racial groups except white Americans

                      White unemployment remained at 3.5% last month, making the demographic group the only one that didn’t experience a rise in jobless rates from April to May. It also went against the overall unemployment rate, which edged higher to 4% from 3.9%.

                      Meanwhile, the jobless rate for Black Americans rose to 6.1% from 5.6%. For Asian and Hispanic workers, respectively, it rose to 3.1% from 2.8%, and to 5% from 4.8%.

                        About doing "multiple gig jobs" vs. "one full time job," while "one full time job" is easier and more more predictable day-to-day, the "multiple gig jobs" model is arguably lower risk long term because you won't be completely out of work and out of income because an employer goes bust or terminate you all of a sudden.

                        Yeah, the Industrial Revolution somehow led to an abundance of jobs that are steady year round, it lifted the standard of living for the masses. It's good to have "one steady full time job", it's good to not have to worry about what to do with your next eight hours (because your employer planned it out for you). But why would one expect that model to last forever?

                                Of course additional insurance options exist for those who want to pay. More than just the single payer is not forbidden.

                                    D2 is down here from across the CheddarCurtain. We decided to order in Italian beef sammiches from my favorite place, Buona Beef. We last did this about a year ago.

                                    5 pieces of bread
                                    Italian beef
                                    Sweet Peppers
                                    Hot Peppers
                                    Potato salad.

                                    $44.95

                                          So it was 1¢ less?

                                          Same price, one less bowl of peppers (I used to get sweet AND hot) one less piece of bread (I used to get five), and probably less italian beef.

                                          Ahhh, I didn’t look closely enough at the packages.
