That was cut in half when Chrysler was purchased by Daimler-Benz & they shut down the largest Chrysler plant in the USA which had been there 50 years. Made in America. Protectionism. Targeted tariffs & duties. Energy production incentives & exports. Subsidized ag exports. Hell yes ! Hearing Jamie Dimon whine on behalf of the EUroburghers brings a tear to my eye.a fan wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 12:22 amSure I do! You're not listening, as usual.
What I'm telling you, for the 100th time is: the Republicans have substituted governing and ideas for governance with scare tactics and fake cultural issues. And you're the A#1 sucker when it comes to this.
When I ask you or any other Republican: what's your plan? You can't answer it. You come back with nothing, and then mock me calling these simple, basic, obvious questions as "little games".
The Dems, yep, they play the culture wars, too. But....but: Like it or not, they can articulate plans. Green New Deal. Free college. Obamacare. Infastructure. Tangible stuff. Yep, you can criticize it. But in the end, what's the alternative? (there isn't one)
Yep. But they're being told that draq queens are reading to kids in NYC.....and thinking that voting Republicans in Omaha will stop that. It's silly.
You still don't get it. No matter how many times I tell you these things, you don't listen, and just trundle on.
They're not my idols. The American Economy as it stands makes me and everyone I know flush with cash. We all have advanced degrees. We all come from families that put a premium on education. Not only am I set, so is my family. And all your team does is shovel more money my way....and to all my pals with the same multiple degrees with multiple homes, vacations and little or no debt. We're not the 1%ers. We're the top 10% earners, just like you.
If you want to continue on this econommic path? Knock yourself out. I win with your way, my man.
What I THOUGHT you wanted (and what I want) is for the American working class to enjoy what I enjoy.
The Euroburgers have given that to their working class. Health care, education, unions, fewer working hours, more vacation.
If you have a better way to give this to the working class? Let's hear your plan, my man. The floor is yours!
....(we both know you won't answer the question, because you haven't the foggiest idea)
Umm, that was a long time ago, economically and demographically. Have you seen the reports on the "missing" workers of "prime" age (25-54)? Where are they? Dead? Addicted? Unsuitable for today's labor market? And just so we are clear, are you advocating for the resurgence of unions?
"Men have been steadily clocking out of the American workforce since pre-pandemic times — even now despite there being millions of job openings and an uncertain economic climate.
While the U.S. labor market remains incredibly tight — with the economy adding another 263,000 jobs in November — around 7 million “prime age” men between the ages of 25 and 54 are reportedly sitting it out.
“They are affirmatively not looking for work. They've punched out. They're done,” TV host Mike Rowe said on The Brian Kilmeade Show, citing research from economist Nick Eberstadt."
