Back then we had a corner on the "market" in domestic and foreign commercial and government shipping to and from the US. (Joke). Fact: Our corner on the "market" 45 years ago was we moved 5% of trade. Foreign companies moved 95% of it. Fact: Today things have picked up, (but not for us). We now move 1% of trade to and from the US. Foreign companies move 99% of all trade in and out of the US. Do we call this Free trade, Fair trade, reciprocal trade, or just give away the store? From every job in trade in the US that employs Americans there are 7 related jobs. Go ahead and check out what I said. Medical jobs, tech jobs, service industry jobs won't carry it all. When the manufacturing base is gone everything will wind down to basically a level that we will not have any negotiating basis with those outside here that produce everything and how are you going to buy it if you are flipping burgers? All this fluff with Elon Musk getting Solar City...this model won't cut it. |

I usually don't get political, to much blood wasted in my brain. But since I can't look at reviews to see what else new might be out there( still waiting for my reviews to get posted)
But this whole jobs piece and make America great again. How many of the people that are protesting would do the majority of the types of jobs that are being done in foreign lands, We want our I phones and whatnot but are we willing to be hunched over a bench day after day and assemble them. Republicans and democrats aren't that different, if they would ALL stop pointing fingers, name calling and instead listen and perhaps work to create something new. As for Hillary, I'm voting for her, wether it was her posing or not I think she has done some good over the years, Of course I also think Obama did as good a job as was allowed by the prejudices that were working against him. Here's a question for you, How clean are the windows in your glass house today? |

Murders
Many of you have probably seen this stuff already but those that have not will find it interesting. So maybe some could be coincidence but dozens and dozens can't be. I've know thousands of people in my life time and only know of 1 that committed suicide and none that died mysteriously or with questionable cause or motives.... Just sayin.

come on, MPKid,
i like you, but you can't possibly quote from these crazy sites... check this: http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/bodycount.asp If you don't like Hillary, do it for reasons of character or ideas. She's been attacked for over 20 years, investigated so many times, don't you think they would have found something? She's not the person that the Fox loonies have been trying to paint, it may stick with the non educated, which unfortunately seems to be mainstream in the GOP today, but you guys?! Watch as Fox is shedding the old Ailes croonies and may eventually become a news channel. Quote:

I can and do "think" often, although on this site most of my thinking happens with the little head.
What I am challenged by is when thoughts and ideas are heckled and bullied, it's the bully energy that I am most challenged by, and my stomach turns when I see it appear in both parties and especially the media... When someone who disagrees is automatically labeled a loser....the president doesn't have that much power but they are the face of our nation. And as a global traveler I think we need to be working to have us be safe in the world rather than safe from the world.... This goes beyond political candidates to the way we treat each other and the people and belief systems around us.... |

2. Jobs piece and who will work...loosely phrased, but essentially I don't like the way it is going and I have a lot of years of seeing jobs and industries slowly dwindle in this country especially under the banner of trade deals that usually benefit foreign folks and cost us jobs. I believe that workers who lose their jobs in any certain industry who are unemployed or had to change fields would want to come back to original field especially if they knew it would be stable and pay well. 3. I phones and whatnot: yes, someone will. 4. Rep and Dems: yes and status quo is the general path of the Dems this time, but who can deny that Trump is not an establishment Rep, in fact not a real politician, but someone who has the attention of a lot of people who are not happy with the last 8-15 years direction? Trump is for change because his camp believes we cannot kick the can down the road this time. 5. Hillary and Obama, you are entitled to your opinion, apparently you are satisfied with the status quo. Tell you what Sanders wasn't, and so many of his supporters won't back Hillary and are surprised and shocked that Sanders finally caved to say that he will back her....I don't think that subject is totally over, IMHO. 6. How clean are the windows in my glass house today? Sorry, not sorry, don't have a glass house. That said house windows will be cleaner when I hire a maid. After all I am all for creating jobs and window cleaning is not all that is needed around here. You know the rest...don't need to bore you. As you know I value your input on site too just like I do others; 99 % have real points, and some don't agree but everybody can let fly... |
