Ok, we need the factories here first before they can be nationalized. We take this one step at a time.

We should help companies like Tesla, which is building multiple factories in America and hiring many Americans and driving the technological innovation that keeps America top dog in general.

Versus companies like ExxonMobile, who couldn't give less of a poo poo and try to make backdoor deals with nefarious states all the time in pursuit of that dollar and also gently caress you we're gonna dump oil everywhere lol.


As long as we're just pipe dreaming haha.

There's an important fallacy in this call for guaranteed income

If you have no factories, no jobs, nothing in your country, where is this money coming from and why do they need to keep giving it to you? You'll burn everything down? Burn down what? They've built their worldwide corporate empire and they just leave you with the ashes and go to New Zealand or India

If you read the article they did ask questions and found no evidence of cooperation between Russia and Trump. Of course, that's not an exciting headline though :(

So Trump fired a guy that lied about having communications with Russia, and that somehow now means Trump himself has ties to Russia and is compromised? We need to come up with a witty name for this current left version of the Tea Party conspiracy theorists.

That means we have to have factories here! Trump!

:cripes:

Just FYI, we are starting to manufacture things in the USA again, for the same reason we were able to keep auto manufacturing in the US in the first place - robots! Do you think they're putting humans on the assembly lines in all these battery factories popping up everywhere?

Why would anyone build a factory overseas, and then ship goods across the ocean, when they could just build the poo poo local with a machine factory and only have to hire maintenance technicians and essential administrative personnel?

We will manufacture in the states again, but we won't do it with American workers, because American workers expect to be paid more than their labor is worth relative to a machine or foreign worker. You're not going to save the manufacturing jobs without banning both, and if you ban both you better believe people will give up on the US market. Higher taxes will drive some companies out, but most will stay because our market is still going to be lucrative. Force companies to take an operating loss for the sake of maintaining a tradition that's not even 200 years old and watch how fast they flee.

"Full Time Employment" made the industrial revolution work, but we don't need it anymore and it's loving dumb that we keep coming up with excuses to keep everyone working around the clock. We don't need more operations managers!

No matter how much I may or may not dislike Trump, without knowing what information he was briefed with, I won't fault him for either not acting rashly and immediately and/or waiting until further verification.

And it wasn't months ago, it was 24 days ago when it came out that Flynn had discussed sanctions with the Russian ambassador.
