automation took the jobs, and now even the manufacturing that was moved overseas is being automated. your iphone was made by a robot.

If you keep humping this narrative it'll make a baby you can't abort. Bring back artesian iPhones, bring back manufacturing to the working class.

your iphone was made by a robot and it still costs 700 dollars

iphones have never sprung water from the ground and even if they had they were never built in the USA and never could be

They could be cheaper if there was less emphasis on profit margins. Right now stock is just wealth transfer to the wealthy. A diversification of oligarchs. Apple just needs to accept that in this presidency, the costs of relocating American factory jobs is ultimately a losing gamr. Ameicans putting screws and soldering parts in phones is the future. Same as coal energy.

you work the most replaceable middle management job in one of the leading drivers of the death of traditional employment, lol, i cannot believe anyone can really be this thick


you really don't

you would know this if you'd ever actually done one of these coal, manufacturing, or warehousing jobs you seem to think really need saving

Oh I don't know, I work in finance, and I should make minimum wage. I will be replaced by an excel macro in the near future. I only hope I make retirement before then. LMFAO

Illegals will be rounded up in "camps" in the deserts of Southern california, recently vacated by Japanese nationals, until they can be conveniently transported back to their native lands. Does anyone have an inside on barbed wire and car batteries?

We had father-daughter dances in Girl Scouts. It was basically a fun way to have a family night out where you get to dress up and dance the Twist with your dad and then go eat cookies with your friends. It's not like they were playing Jamaican Dancehall music or whatever.

Daggering Dad videos should definitely not be a thing I am thinking about when you mention Jamaican dancehall.

Kansas has the nickname Brownbackistan because of how absolutely terrible the state is doing after Governor Brownback tried to make it a libertarian paradise. Seriously he completely hosed the state.

Adding to this: states that completely gently caress themselves require federal assistance to unfuck themselves. So your federal tax dollars go to fund Kansas state idiocy.

It's actually more a commentary on how detractors have never attempted to do anything with their lives. They don't understand that for every 8 businesses only 1 succeeds. It's hard to do things in life. But you keep trying, no matter how much you fail.

And then one day, after much failure, you can become the president by just working hard day in day out.

But you're a little Canadian commie, so you don't get that.

All of old. Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

I did not like the plan of selling our country out piecemeal, almost quite literally as our #1 export is the scrap metal from our once vibrant industries

So I voted for Hopefully not this Plan

Lol, no it isnt. Why do you think that?

There is a nonzero chance that Trump used a $ and not the pound or euro symbol.
