    Unemployment Explained...
    COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.
    ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 5.6%.
    COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?
    ABBOTT: No, that's 23%.
    COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.
    ABBOTT: 5.6% Unemployed.
    COSTELLO: Right 5.6% out of work.
    ABBOTT: No, that's 23%.
    COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 23% unemployed.
    ABBOTT: No, that's 5.6%.
    COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?
    ABBOTT
    : 5.6% are unemployed. 23% are out of work.
    COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.
    ABBOTT: No, Biden said you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

    COSTELLO
    : BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!
    ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.
    COSTELLO: What point?
    ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.

    COSTELLO
    : To whom?
    ABBOTT: The unemployed.
    COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.
    ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work.
    Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

    COSTELLO
    : So if you're off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?
    ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down Absolutely!
    COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?
    ABBOTT
    : Absolutely it goes down. That's how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise it would be 23%.
    COSTELLO
    : Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
    ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.
    COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
    ABBOTT: Correct.
    COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
    ABBOTT: Bingo.
    COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.

    ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a Democrat.
    COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said..!
    ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like Biden....

    At what point, does this become "election interference"?



    Once again... election interference










    And yes, I understand.. private business.
    But.. aren't private business still required to follow the law?

    Media Campaign Disclosure Laws​

    Media is another major influence on elections and can help to facilitate election interference. The individuals and groups that run ads for political campaigns that refer to "clearly identified candidates" are subject to campaign disclosure laws. This means that identifying information about the ad's sponsors (including name and address) must be made available to the public, which makes the spender accountable. At the federal level, an "electioneering communication" only refers to TV and radio advertisements and the disclosure laws only applied to these forms of media.

    However, a lot of political ads incorporate the internet and print media such as direct mail, magazines, and newspaper. About half of the states in the country changed their laws to reflect other forms of media to protect against election corruption. For example, Arizona's list of covered media includes billboards, broadcast, direct mail, internet, and print.
