I'm in an industry that does both, and I can tell you that automation has had a substantially bigger impact than offshoring. Not that offshoring/nearshoring doesn't exist, but again, the economy went global long ago and that clock isn't getting turned back.

It's the same in the industry I'm in too, but the industry I'm in can't go out of the Country.

However, it's not the way in most manufacturing jobs. Automation is a natural progression, it's easier to swallow. Moving a plant from Mayfield, KY to Mexico isn't.

Agreed. Some of our stuff has to stay domestic as well, but the segment that is able to goes offshore or near shore. Financially it's a no brainer. Bottom line is king.
 
You supported Obama over Romney, right?

Clinton was president when I moved here and I had little clue about American politics back then. I supported Bush over both Gore and Kerry and McCain over Obama. I was pretty indifferent to Romney - too robotic. Trump is mostly a personal thing. I just don't like him.

I'm liberal when it comes to issues like gay marriage and abortion but also recognize the need to cut the financial waste that is running rampant in the government right now. If half of that got cleaned up, there'd be no shortage of money to fund things that actually make sense.

I'm not the least bit worried about terrorists and would call myself staunchly atheist.

I agree, I don't blame the companies that move. I blame the elected officials that make it a walk in the park to move offshore.

Laying that at the feet of one party is disingenuous though IMO. We made our biggest moves offshore under Bush. Also, if you're a defender of the free market and true capitalism, I'm not sure how you reconcile that with desire for the government to step in and tell companies how they should run their businesses.

I'm not blaming it on one party, however the Democrats championed themselves as the party of the working man.

I am a believer in the free market, and free trade...between States in the Union where we all gain.
 
Oh, Twitter. You never disappoint. You love your anti-white stuff. Let's see, you put this up from an account that's not even verified and who works for a "company" that's not even verified and only has 4,000 followers.

Don't tell me there's not constant anti-white promotion.

 
As a believer myself, I have no problem with those who are not. Have buddies who believe & have buddies who don't.

I just get a kick out of the "tolerant" crowd sometimes. They are very tolerant...as long as you believe exactly like they do.

My wife showed me something on Instagram last night that was too funny and sad. It was a girl who got a college scholarship from the American Atheist organization to UK for being LGBT or something. Ha.

You need to create an organization for something you don't believe in? And being gay is worthy of getting your school paid for?

I agree with you here - if that's the whole story, yeah, that's BS. Give it to someone who earned it.
 
Watching the news about the North Korean situation Richard Fowler, a liberal talk show host when ask about Trumps actions sending ships to the region being good or bad simply said that what Obama did over the last 8 years was the best decision. He said ignoring such people is the best actions because, with no attention they will simply go away. That has been Obama and the left's strategy from the beginning. It hurt us here in the states and hurt the world even more as the world is in chaos now more than it has been in a long time. This simply shows that the left lives in a bubble and ignores the outcomes of their many failures.
 
Good point. Our culture in general ignores shit. It's better to ignore stuff than confront it, attempt to correct it, etc.
 
Then you are a person with major malfunctions.

I worry about soccer moms doing makeup in their SUVs at rush hour. I worry about falling off a ladder and snapping my neck. I worry about being taken out by a drunk driver. All of these and hundreds of other things are exponentially more than likely to harm me than a terrorist. As such, I choose not to stress about something that's about as likely to happen to me as winning the lottery.

Good quote I heard last week about NK about our past policies of ignoring or giving little treats to them for chilling for a bit...

You can't buy peace with North Korea, you can only rent it.

Worry no more my friend. Your fears will spark another attack on our liberties. Soon we will have self driving cars and no more terrorists, soccer moms, and drunk drivers will be able to harm you.

You missed my point - terrorism is 1,000 items down the list of shit to concern myself with. Like I said earlier, I'm more worried about the fact that Verlander got rocked yesterday.
 



LOVE IT

And Here's to the NFL DECLINING AND ULTIMATELY IMPLODING
I will do what I can -- in some SMALL WAY to encourage everyone I can to talk away / turn them out / & turn on to something else

(do I think it'll happen anytime soon? probably not -- but not only have they LOST me as a once time avid fan, they're losing others, AND choosing to align with the wrong end of history)

LOVE the dude's commentary at the end of the video -- "Social lunacy" -- is exactly what it is

Need more FED UP people

Respect and tolerate the traditional Left
NO QUARTER for Marxists
They need to be stopped now - with the same lack of fear / mercy that you'd show to an advancing political movement of Nazi's


and I SENSE --- It's best you (the "general you") start picking a side
