Unemployment not related to government

Boston -- Chief Economist of the Columbia Bank and Trust Co. Rex Harrison, 32, has just released a study that shows how unemployment works. "It's a feature of capitalism," he says. "Just like those years with overpopulations of lemmings and owls. You know, the owls have a lot of work and food as a consequence." 

So the government has nothing to do with it. There is almost nothing the US president can do. Stimulus plans only dampen it, the length of the cycle remains the same.

What about Trump?

"Oh the tax bill. Yeah, a couple of months of happy times. The market is due for a correction. But the real jobs will be fine for Trump and then the downturn will be with the 2020 term."

But we don't want Trump in there past 2020.

"Well, it would be a bad time for him. He might as well quit after four years."

Trump Doing Math with Son

President Trump had some bad press lately with the press and these shithole countries. He left for Mar-a-Lago with family for the weekend. However, Barron brought some homework with him.

"Dad, if a train leaves New York going 80 miles an hour and another train leaves Miami going 60mph, in how many hours will the pass? The distance is a total of 1300 miles."

Trump: Why would you take a train, Barron?
Barron: It's a math problem I have to turn in.
Trump: OK, so Train A goes X hours and Train B goes Y hours and they travel M-1 and M-2 miles. I saw that on National Geographic last year.
Barron: That does not help, since X and Y are the same, we only need X.
Trump: What if I have the New York train go 800 miles and I order them to stop, that's close enough.
Barron: That's too far, dad. I tried 6, 7 and 8 hours and those are too small. I think I can give the hours in decimals. Its 9 point something.
Trump: Oh.
Barron: What if I set it up as 60xT+80xT=1300. Will that do it? T is the time, dad.
Trump: Sounds good son, then solve for X and Y.
Barron: I don't need the X and Y, I just need T.
Trump: Whatever. Good work son.

Ziva shoots guy that was on NCIS episode for 10 seconds

A Pennsylvania couple is confused. Who is this guy that Ziva from NCIS shot in the last five minutes of the show, right before the Thanksgiving dinner with Ducky? He was clearly a crook. We know that because he was holding a hostage.

Peggy thinks he may have been in the show early on, right after they identified the body and went straight to his workplace. The dead guys's. There was some guy, a guy that had no name even. He was on for maybe ten seconds and a few lines of script.

Mark agrees there was some guy in that scene. Was he in the office, or was he a security guard? "Well, at lest they never made the guy that sells the coffee to McGee be the murderer. That would be really lame. But in any case he's dead now and we won't ever find out who he was trying to sell the Navy secret codes for those...vessels or what ever it was."

Peggy wants to watch another episode of Father Brown. Most of those are wrapped up nicely.
