    • jobs and "professions" worst hit by the pandemic have the least relevance to the American economy
    • by the way, have we seen any stories lately about streams of undocumented folks flowing across the southern border?
    • how could you lose 18 million jobs and have housing prices go up 30% -- CNBC's "Josh" -- bingo 
    • the Fed is now concerned with the unemployment problem, not the inflation target;
