And they very well should be! The military and Gov should have taken it down right when it entered US territory....no one would have given two shits about it then. Go JOE!

Like they don't have a tool like grappling hooks with parachutes to bring it down softly after they pop that sucker?

If the CCP was smart, they have a self destruct mechanism on board should the balloon take a sudden and unplanned drop in altitude. Maybe very little to be learned. However, it's a great opportunity for us to test our balloon shoot down ability and for China to learn that too. Double edged sword.
I was thinking about our laser weapons whether they be jet mounted or satellite mounted.

That is the “adjusted” number.

The “unadjusted” number actually shows that the U.S. economy lost 2.5 million jobs last month. The following comes from Bloomberg

For the establishment survey, the government’s updated seasonal factors may have impacted the headline payrolls figure. On an unadjusted basis, payrolls actually fell by 2.5 million last month.

Exactly. Even BLS is lying their ass off. There isn’t a single government agency that isn’t pathetically corrupt and lying on a daily basis.
