   Exactly...but they want to be.   They're not dead.   But they're zero income   
   isn't counted.   
   Makes no sense.     
   All those recently laid off UAW workers are suddenly not worth counting in the   
   wage stats?   
   Do they suddenly not exist?   Don't you support those poor displaced workers or   
   are you for sweeping them under the rug?

       BS.   I can make the wage stat look great.  Unemploy everyone but Elon.   
       It will be the best economy ever according to Stephen...until he starves.

      Great.. real income would be up if they were counted when they weren't   
   making money.   
     But you think the unemployed aren't worth counting.   
     I wonder....are you being counted?      
   Would UBI earners be counted?
