Oh, Jesus Christ, mac ... I haven't even looked at your no-doubt-stupid post, but the title alone reinforces our conclusion made years ago that forums serve only one purpose for you: stir up the porta potty, add still more shit to it, and pour it into the parking lot to see how much trouble and hatred you can generate among a group who should be friends.
You should try windsurfing some time. It's a ton of fun and might even mellow you out, if that's possible. I appreciate a person's love of debate, but what you do is not debate; it's just verbal rioting. You should try actual debate some time. It's a ton of fun and might even mellow you out, if that's possible.
I agree with Dr. Laura's tirade: OF COURSE it's the woman's right to choose ... WHETHER TO SPREAD HER LEGS. Beyond that point biology takes over. Neither she nor Obama has the right to let a viable newborn die on the slab just because Mommy Dearest no longer wants it.
It's getting way too obvious (toilet paper everywhere) that many people are using the wooded section between the big, maintained, unlocked boat ramp parking lot pit toilet and the river. That's what got that entire ferry landing area closed off completely for years, and the toilet is just 15-25 steps from where everybody's parking. We aren't bears; do we HAVE to crap in the woods behind and less easily accessible than the toilet?
What a concept! A buncha people gathering at some fairly random, forlorn, boring-as-hell-LOOKING spot just off the center of absolutely NOWHERE to see how many ways they can turn NOTHIN' into a long weekend of family fun without burning down even ONE family business or shouting "STARBOARD" at someone else having just as much fun.
How many lefturd media have reported the 911 transcript of the terrified Mom repeatedly begging for police help as rioters climbed onto her car and had her little girl crying in terror as they were trying to shop for groceries?
I once had a guy follow me almost at a jog (i.e., he probably hadn't moved as fast in his life as my normal walking pace) through a large mall and into a store to ask me for a handout. His frigging wristwatch and his sneakers were EACH worth more than everything I was wearing INCLUDING my watch and my prescription eyeglasses. I don't recall what color his skin was, because I don't give a crap, but the incident manifested the handout mentality of a large segment of our population. You know, the whole Bernie Sanders, AOC, BLM, DNC, Pelosi, et.al. FREE EVERYTHING socialist crowd.

"Buy American", "bring back jobs and manufacturing", hmm, where have I heard that before? Does he really have to listen to his opponent for ideas?
Evidently. His problems with plagiarism goes back decades. |

Pretty funny post, with Trump at 20,000 lies and pardoning the guy who could have put him in jail. Deplorables have no moral code. |

Yeah, nobody before Trump ever talked about bolstering American manufacturing and jobs.
For generations of Americans, manufacturing was the ticket to a good middle-class life. We made stuff. And the stuff we made -- like steel and cars and planes -- made us the economic leader of the world. And the work was hard, but the jobs were good. And if you got on an assembly plant in Detroit or in a steel plant in Youngstown, you could buy a home. You could raise kids. You could send them to college. You could retire with some security. And those jobs didn’t just tell us how much we were worth, they told us how we were contributing to the society and how we were helping to build America, and gave people a sense of dignity and purpose. They saw a Boeing plane or one of the Big Three cars rolling off the assembly line, and they said, you know what, I made that. And they were iconic. And people understood that’s what it meant for something to be made in America.
Now, advances in technology have allowed manufacturers to do more with less. Global competition means a lot of good manufacturing jobs went overseas. There was just more competition. Folks caught up to us, and they in some cases just copied what we were doing with lower wages, so the competition was fierce. And in the 2000s alone, we lost about one-third of all American manufacturing jobs -- and the middle class suffered for it.
Now, the good news is, today, our manufacturers have added more than 620,000 new manufacturing jobs over the last four years. That’s the first sustained manufacturing growth in over 20 years. But the economy has changed. So if we want to attract more good manufacturing jobs to America, we’ve got to make sure we’re on the cutting edge of new manufacturing techniques and technologies.
And I just have to emphasize here that -- because you’ll hear some people say, well, why are manufacturing jobs so special, and this is a service economy. Nobody believes that we’re going to duplicate all the manufacturing jobs that existed back in the ‘40s and the ‘50s just because the economy has changed. You go into an auto plant now, it’s different then it was. Fewer people can make more cars.
But keep in mind that when we have manufacturing in this country, what ends up happening is that, first of all, there are a whole lot of suppliers to those manufacturers, so that one plant may be deceptive. It doesn't tell you all the companies all across the country that are working on behalf of those manufacturers. The services that are provided to those manufacturers, the advertising that's connected to it, and the architects and the designers and the software engineers -- all those things may not be counted as manufacturing, but by us having those hubs of manufacturing, it has a ripple effect throughout the economy.
So we’ve got to focus on advanced manufacturing to keep that manufacturing here in the United States. That's what’s going to help get the next Stark Industries off the ground. |
