    I have a real pet peeve when companies/politicians claim that tons of jobs are being created when they are largely temporary (construction).

    Another clever trick is saying you created 3 jobs over a few years when one person worked on 3 separate projects over a few years and each one counted as a job.

    Happened a lot under Biden. I’m glad there was an emphasis on renewables but those job numbers were inflated. We are losing too many jobs to automation and capitalism isn’t going to be able to sustain itself if unemployment is consistently high without a safety net.
