Is Tidewater obtuse? A good read on the linked site for the non-obtuse!

http://www.factcheck.org/2015/03/declining-labor-participation-rates/

[FONT=&]Consider a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued in November 2006, more than two years before Obama took office and before the start of the Great Recession. It pegged the start of the decline in participation rates at around 2000, and projected the decline would continue for the next four decades.[/FONT]
Bureau of Labor Statistics, November 2006: Every year after 2000, the rate declined gradually, from 66.8 percent in 2001 to 66.0 percent in 2004 and 2005. According to the BLS projections, the overall participation rate will continue its gradual decrease each decade and reach 60.4 percent in 2050.


[FONT=&]Almost all of the decline (80 percent) in the participation rate since the first quarter of 2012 is accounted for by the increase in nonparticipation due to retirement. This implies that the decline in the unemployment rate since 2012 is not due to more discouraged workers dropping out of the labor force.”

Just one question. Is the below 65 population of the United States growing or shrinking?

A more relevant question would be " is the working age population growing or shrinking?" The answer is it is shrinking!

http://statchatva.org/2016/11/02/in...-the-working-age-population-is-now-shrinking/

[FONT=&quot]Meanwhile, as Baby Boomers age, the population over 65 will swell and become the fastest growing age group in the U.S. This shift in the structure of the U.S. population – a relatively small population of 20-year-olds to replenish jobs vacated by a large population of Baby Boomers – will reshape local economies across the country.

I will be glad when we see a group of whatever sex signing legislation protecting the life of a baby that had nothing to do with what someone else DECIDED to do with their body. Some decisions you need to make in advance. Birth control is an easy one.

Actually one of the reasons the ladies are getting so mad (I know because the wife gets angry about it) is that there are states and bills/laws (like the signing by Trump above) that are trying to impact/ban access to birth control - Alabama had one last year that would have impacted access to birth control but didn't make it through.

I wasn't aware of that. Are you saying they were trying to stop you from being able to buy birth control, or were they trying to make each person buy their own? (just an honest question. not trying to provoke)

It wasn't all kinds of birth control but it would still interfere in people's choices for themselves even before conception.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...uld-give-fetus-legal-status-end-abortion.html

Brock Boone, an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer, called the bill an "attack on women." Boone said the amendment would ban abortion in cases of rape and incest, and could render some forms of birth control the "legal equivalent of homicide."

The problem with that is that some women are forced to use birth control for reasons other than just for pregnancy reasons. My wife went through a few years where she had to use it to help with crippling pain.

I'll drop the rest of the conversation after this so this thread can get back to the funny.

I'm glad it sounds like you wife is better. That was a good read. I wish too that we had more lawmakers would be impassioned over caring for the children that are here. I guess the birth control a that would have been limited is the morning after pill? It wasn't clear but I would assume that to be the case.

I started to add this link in my last post but I'll add it here. I'm sure the morning after would have been one of the main ones but apparently would have impacted fertilization as well.

http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2016/04/alabama_personhood_bill_fails.html

Henry's bill sought to legally define a fetus as a person from the moment of fertilization. The bill's language, if approved by Alabama voters, would have effectively banned abortion and could have affected some forms of birth control and in-vitro fertilization techniques.
