This youtube video has gotten the cause and effect backwards using blue jeans as the example of "The Fall of America's Middle Class".

The real reason blue jean manufacturing moved overseas is that the true middle and upper classes did NOT want to pay high prices for jeans and did NOT want to pay high wages to the angry white trash who could do no better than make the jeans and get drunk or high after working at a boring job. They got paid enough to stand on the lowest rung of the middle-class ladder but they never had actual middle-class values such as staying sober. They didn't stop getting drunk/high once their crappy job moved overseas. Instead, they got drunk/high all the time, making them unemployable, except in crappier and lower paying jobs than blue jean manufacturing.

The Rise and Fall of America's Middle Class

America is bleeding out. Slowly, steadily. And it’s a self-inflicted wound. When NAFTA was signed, it set in motion decades of decline that have crippled American industry, gutted American towns, and robbed American citizens of their birthright - the simple dignity of providing for themselves and their families. But there’s a road back. Starting with denim blue jeans.

Oh, get fucked, second.

That high horse you think you're riding on isn't nothing but a pile of glue after the constant beatings you've given it after you killed it.

You are out of work like the uncomprehending Trumptards I know in Texas who can't adapt to different jobs. They would rather die than change their minds or use a new skill:

America’s Surprising Partisan Divide on Life Expectancy

Centuries-old settlement patterns — and the attitudes they spawned about government — are to blame for differences in longevity.

Which political philosophy reigns where you live has a major effect on how young you die.

On paper, Lexington County, S.C., and Placer County, Calif., have a lot in common. They’re both big, wealthy, suburban counties with white supermajorities. Placer has a Scandinavia-like life expectancy of 82.3 years. In Lexington, the figure is 77.7, a little worse than China’s.

Or take Maine’s far-flung Washington County, the poorest in New England where the per capita income is $27,437. The county is a hardscrabble swath of blueberry fields, forestland and fishing ports that was ravaged by the opioid epidemic and is almost completely white. It has one of the worst life expectancies in the entire Northeast: 75.5 years. But that’s more than six years better than the equally remote, forested, impoverished, white and drug-battered Perry County of eastern Kentucky.

The truth of life expectancy in America is that places with comparable profiles — similar advantages and similar problems — have widely different average life outcomes depending on which political party controls that state.

Step back and look at a map of life expectancy across the country and the geographic patterns are as dramatic as they are obvious. If you live pretty much anywhere in the contiguous U.S., you can expect to live more than 78 years, unless you’re in the Deep South or the sprawling region I call Greater Appalachia, a region that stretches from southwestern Pennsylvania to the Ozarks and the Hill Country of Texas. Those two regions — which include all or parts of 16 deep red states and a majority of the House Republican caucus — have a life expectancy of 77, more than four and a half years lower than on the blue-leaning Pacific coastal plain. In the smaller, redder regional culture of New France (in southern Louisiana) the gap is just short of six years. So large are the regional gaps that the poorest set of counties in predominantly blue Yankee Northeast actually have higher life expectancies than the wealthiest ones in the Deep South. At a population level, a difference of five years is like the gap separating the U.S. from decidedly unwealthy Mongolia, Belarus or Libya, and six years gets you to impoverished El Salvador and Egypt.

It’s as if we are living in different countries. Because in a very real historical and political sense, we are.

"Obesity, diabetes and physical inactivity all followed the same general regional pattern, with the bad outcomes concentrated in the" areas where Trump is strong.

6ix, that's from the article you won't read. You hit all three. Maybe not simultaneously but you have been or are or will be obese, diabetic and physically inactive. There is a moral behind it all: "Obesity, diabetes and physical inactivity" shorten your life to the level of impoverished third world countries.

There's more diabetes and obesity by people who vote Democrat in major US shithole cities run by Democrats than the rest of the world.

Get fucked, idiot.




And meanwhile, I will never be obese. And just because I don't have a paycheck doesn't mean that I'm physically inactive.

Your detective knows where I live by now, surely. Why don't you drop by and I'll show you.

I assume you are unaware that a majority of Americans are, shall we say, free to accidentally kill themselves? For one example out of many ways to shorten their lives:

Blanchard, known by her friends as Jessie B., is an operator and education director for Never Use Alone, a safe-use hotline for drug users. It was conceived of four years ago by a “bunch of drug users sick of their friends dying,” as she put it.

The hotline serves people who worry using alone makes them vulnerable to dying by overdose. And there is reason for concern. Total overdose deaths have climbed to nearly 110,000 in 2022. Overdoses are often fatal, but the chances of survival go way up with urgent EMS care. Never Use Alone increases a caller’s chances of survival by promising to stay on the line while you use, and send you help if you become unresponsive.

https://slate.com/human-interest/2023/09/overdose-drugs-fentanyl-opioi
d-never-use-alone.html


The defining characteristic of many Americans is not their politics but their need to be free. Free means free to take drugs, free of commonsense, free from limits, free from morality, free to lie, free to be a failure in life, free from obligations, and free to die early.
