My understanding is much of the recent slowdown is that it's hard to help people trapped in stagnant economies, like Madagascar and Congo. Immigration would change this rapidly, of course.

Private employers added just 22,000 jobs in January, a lackluster month for hiring that missed expectations of 46,000. Manufacturing led the slowdown. Wonder why they’re hiding the jobs report www.forbes.com/sites/tylerr... again.

Dear Stanley Park Cyclist
⚠️ SLOWDOWN ⚠️
We almost got bowled over a dozen times on one trail today. Some very near misses. Groups going SO FAST like it was a velodrome.
I feared for the toddlers, seniors, dog-walkers also on path.

new Fed analysis blames the slowdown in US employment mostly on supply - i.e weak labour force growth.

Filters really can be any size and built by anyone. This is ultimately a strategy being well taken up by everyone, because every slowdown is potentially one less detention.

Besides the most slowdown ever seen in a Konami shoot em up, Contra Force has these oddly short ledges. If Mr. Shirtless Sniper takes another micro-step, he's tumbling into the abyss.
Also, I must be losing my mind because holding down-forward decreases running speed by 25%

Getting off at O'Connor, where I started.
So far I have to say Im more than impressed with line 5. It will make life better for a lot of people.
With exception of the slowdown in the east thru Golden Mile, its fast. Way faster than Line 6 on Finch was on day 1

attention all Fed employees for DHS: Quit
everyone else in like DOJ, FBI: work slowdown. Don’t handle ICE shit. Miss meetings, fuck up the paperwork, ask endless meandering questions and constantly ask for confirmation. Take irregular days off suddenly.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

"We're proposing something quieter and less cinematic than a protest that will run all day on cable TV, but much more disturbing to the Trump administration. A one-day slowdown is irritating. A one-month slump is terrifying," he wrote in a blog post announcing the boycott.
