Not Biden? |
DP. Biden didn't help, but at least he tried to balance green energy with domestic production/jobs. Trump, on the other hand, just wants his oil cronies to get rich. |

Thought so. You fkn racist pig. Your world is slowly over. Too bad for your kids. |
Just leaving this up there quietly as an instructional piece. When people tell you who they are, believe them. |
| China and even Japan and Korea have horrible work culture. |
Yes it really is an outdated assumption that the a Chinese just copy others. They did so because that is the fastest way to catch up and they don't believe in following foreign laws (and western countries got to get ahead by pillaging others, so who has the moral high ground here?). But once they catch up, they keep innovating. |
| Okay. Yay rah China. And, what? You want a cookie? |
Hon, you're gonna have a stroke. Take a break. Get out and get some fresh air.

The H1B definitely aren’t superior or smarter. They are simply more willing to work like desk slaves. One of them is in my neighborhood. When us and all of my other neighbors were out shoveling the snowcrete, he did none of it. Apparently his Desk Worker syndrome was so bad he couldn’t manage it. |

You could make the US much safer by locking up and throwing away the key of the few hundred habitual offenders who make every urban area instantly unsafe. Seemingly every time there is some high profile killing of a random innocent bystander on a street, the perpetrator is a career criminal with a rap sheet a mile long. But they’re allowed to roam free because reasons. Somehow we can’t differentiate between a person who caught a charge for getting in a bar fight once vs. a person who’s been in and out of jail for violent offenses since before Covid.
We have private equity vampires that are terrible for the average American because we have linked retirement to the stock market. Stocks gotta keep going up and up or else people lose their retirement savings. Increase Social Security a lot, raise taxes and the amount of income that’s subject to social security taxes to pay for it. People could stop contributing to 401k’s and the average person would likely see the same take home pay. Bring heavy and technical manufacturing back to the US. We don’t need to be making plastic doo dads or cheap clothes. But cars, steel, medical equipment, yes. |
lol 90% of the jobs in this country are service sector jobs. The US runs a huge surplus in the service sector. Chinese factories are automated to the point that US manufacturers when they visit ask where are the people. There just is not the demand in the US for new factories to build cars or produce steel. Look what Biden did. Biden’s jobs program had the US and foreign car manufacturers investing in factories for EVs and batteries. He invested about 23 billion in tax incentives and discounts on EVs. The private sector invested 144 billion to build factories. Now all that is being written off and the factories are closed. |
Well, if China becomes the dominant power, Europeans and white Americans will, for the first time in their individual and collective memories, know what it feels like to be second class citizens on the world stage. Imagine the world with the yuan as the reserve currency and Chinese as the lingua franca. Interesting times indeed. As much as I love America, part of me would love to see this. |
Okay. Were there other masturbatory fantasies you felt compelled to share, or was that the only one? Did you need to go back over it again? |
