This video is an example of what most Trump supporters fail to recognize. I believe many bought into his rhetoric and thought he'd help them only to realize that voting for him was against their own interests...
- Many Democratic KKK members would also advocate for Bernie Sander's push for free healthcare and social security.********
- But that's not the point. The bigger point is Uygur isn't putting the responsibility where it belongs. Which was Hillary and DNC who pushed Bernie out.********
- This thread would be so boring w/o you OMG, I give you credit for that but holy smokes, your troll is showing hard....whatthefunk
- Bernie is like Linux. It seems people on this issue do not want Healthcare or SS to be the a successful Apple instead, and fill it with anti-rich guy rhetoric.********
- Also where are the people who helps businesses when and if they lose? They only come around when success needs shaking of the pockets to put back.********
- wtf, i'm not trolling. they're just factual truths you may not want to see, simply because it does not fit your narrative, or refuse to believe.********
- income inequality yet taxes/corporate welfare skyrocket and SS/Medicare/Health/e... wage are cut left and right.whatthefunk
- If everyone works, everyone has money. Businesses grow by adding more jobs. Those benefits are not free. The problem is they're creating more debt and jobs.********
- *correction*
The problem is they're creating more debt and losing more jobs.******** - Corporate welfare has run amuck in this country when multi billion dollar companies are not the ones creating new jobs at all...whatthefunk
- They don't need tax incentives when they are not creating new jobs due to automation and outsourcing, yet they get $whatthefunk
- The CEOs get huge golden parachutes and it's known that start ups are creating new jobs in this country, not the big companieswhatthefunk
- Yet start ups can't get loans and rust belt Trumpers think coal jobs are going to return while nobody is investing in fossil fuelswhatthefunk
- Sorry but mid america is waiting and being taken advantage of thinking anyone cares and they vote Trump, who cares the leastwhatthefunk
- alt energy is the primary sector of growth/investment and the creation of jobs yet deniers go against their own interestswhatthefunk
- Carrier, who's creating NO new jobs, gets a $7mm tax incentive paid by tax payers, good luck out there holding your breathwhatthefunk
- Wealthiest country with some of the highest healthcare costs and the biggest wage gap - where did the middle class go?!?!?!whatthefunk
- We tried the do nothing approach to outsourcing. Countering with a financial incentive sounds like a good idea to me. Magic doesn't keep those jobs inhouse.********
- So when creating jobs, how does advocating against coal mining jobs help? In your backwards world, that probably creates jobs, but in reality it destroys.********
- Hundreds of applications still require coal to manufacture air and water filtrations, kidney dialysis machines, carbon fibre, and silicon metals.********
- The tax cuts I saw were for everyone across the board, including the middle class.********
- Carrier CEO "We're going to make up [the] $16 million investment in that factory in Indianapolis to automate."whatthefunk
- "But what that ultimately means is there will be fewer jobs." http://www.cleveland…whatthefunk
- Solar is half the price of coal, no investor is touching coal https://www.bloomber…whatthefunk
- Few companies, seeing these margins, are investing in updating their facilities https://en.wikipedia…whatthefunk
- Mississippi’s $6.8 billion Kemper County Energy Facility is years overdue and 3 times the budget - welcome to coal.whatthefunk
- Clean Coal is expensive and rare http://qz.com/801637…whatthefunk
- Gas-fired power plants and wind farms push down the price of power and they simply cannot competewhatthefunk
- Bloomberg links broken above https://www.bloomber…whatthefunk
- I know people have feared automation taking over jobs in the 50s. Though I think its precision moved us towards miniaturization. Selling more products...********
- ... in advance processors, need for software, product fulfillment etc...********
- Automation should eventually yield better opportunities.********
- Since the 90's automation has increased productivity and replaced employment http://www.heritage.…whatthefunk
- This illusion that 50's era manufacturing and energy styles will return is both naive and counterproductivewhatthefunk
- During periods of healthy economic growth, startups and young, fast-growing companies are responsible for most new jobs.whatthefunk
- Old/big companies do not generate new employment http://www.cbpp.org/…whatthefunk
- It's ironic b/c most Trump supports want govt to help create jobs but if a democrat focused on that they're labeled socialist.whatthefunk
- HBR discussed retraining coal workers for solar photovoltaic employment because of the rapid rise in U.S. solar jobs.whatthefunk
- Coal Employment waaaaay down
http://i.imgur.com/y…whatthefunk - Thanks to Obama, he put a lot of business and lost jobs for lots of hard working folks
http://dailycaller.c…******** - The Obama admin. responded with $14.5 million in federal funding. For 50,000 people that's $290 per person. lol... wow, what a dick********
- I heard it was bad, but I didn't know it was that bad about what Obama did to those coal minors without any transitional plan in place for them.********
- That's a farce, coal has been declining long before Obama http://wfpl.org/if-t…whatthefunk
- I guess Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush Jr. was anti coal too http://i.imgur.com/b…whatthefunk
- But again, if Liberals pleaded for govt to give money for jobs you'd scream SOCIALIST from the rooftops...whatthefunk
- As far as the U.S. manufacturing productivity and employment decline statistics. That seems affected by outsourcing, not automation.********
- Technology has driven down manufacturing employment, period. This is from a conservative .org toowhatthefunk
- http://www.heritage.…whatthefunk
- American manufacturing employment has not gone primarily overseas. Instead, machines are performing tasks that were once performed by human labor.whatthefunk
- But give Carrier tax incentives so they can improve their automation as admitted by their own damn CEO in the quote above.whatthefunk
- Here's the quote again b/c I'd love to hear you dispute it http://i.imgur.com/J…whatthefunk
- BTW, Greg Hayes, CEO of United Technologies Corp., received about $10.8 million in compensation in 2015whatthefunk
- But the DOD is UTC's biggest client so Trump & crony capitalism will give him business for all those robots to do...whatthefunk
- The US makes 10% of UTC, and the competitive tax reform will bring back $27B into the US. They'll put it in automation, which means fewer jobs in manufacturing.********
- Unless they increase their business, they can keep the number of jobs they currently offer.********
- With $27B, they'll definitely have the capital to make some more business.********
