If you displayed one ounce of ethics in the past up until now, you might have an argument.


This line of reasoning isn't going to save the Department of Education which has driven America down to the bottom of every measurable education list of 1st World Nations over the last 50 years.

Why the fuck would you think any American is going to cry about the current "Ethics Cop" losing his job?

He's fucking terrible at it.

Exactly. If the "top ethics cop" had actually been DOING HIS JOB, we wouldn't have had Biden and his son grifting across the globe, Congresspeople making beaucoup bucks on insider trading, "foundations" gathering pay-to-play money, ex-officials becoming multi multi millionaires who knows how, FBI/CIA/DOJ routinely violating our Constitution, etc etc.

It's like the Inspectors General who were fired. Apparently they never inspected much of anything.

You reap what you sow.

The United States has lost nearly 70,000 factories since 2000. This is part of a larger decline in the US manufacturing sector that has also resulted in the loss of over 5 million jobs.

#2 In July 1979, 19.5 million Americans had manufacturing jobs. Today, only 12.8 million Americans have manufacturing jobs even though our population is much larger than it was in 1979.

#3 According to a survey that was recently conducted by the Pew Research Center, 59 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. has lot more than it has gained from free trade.

#4 In 1959, manufacturing represented 28 percent of all U.S. economic output. At the beginning of the Great Recession in 2008, manufacturing represented only 11.5 percent of all U.S. economic output. Today, manufacturing represents just 10.3 percent of all U.S. economic output.

I'm not gonna correct you, Signym, because you never understand anything, but I will point out that manufacturing is following the same path that farming did. What path? Fewer farms and farmers and yet more food. Fewer factories and factory workers and yet more manufactured goods.

---

WRONG.

There's a lot of manufacturing going on, BUT NOT HERE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU POST OBVIOUS LIES.

A trip thru Amazon, or any department store, home improvement store, apppliance store, "superstore", auto sales lot, while inspecting country of origin will tell you who manufactures "stuff" and WHO DOESN'T.

Even ordering specialty chemicals, as I did, led me to China most often, and Germany second.

UAE Ambassador Says Arab World Has 'No Alternative' To Trump's Gaza Plan

Thursday, Feb 13, 2025 - 10:10 AM

In an extraordinarily surprising development, the United Arab Emirates (UAE has signaled the possibility of removing all Palestinians from Gaza, in accordance with Trump's controversial Gaza plan.

UAE Ambassador to the US Yousef Al Otaiba in a fresh interview called the plan "difficult but inevitable" and said he's sees "no alternative" but Trump's plan to expel Gaza's population and undertake massive economic redevelopment of the Strip. He had been asked by a reporter whether the UAE is working on a separate plan, to which he responded no, there's no other plan.

Turkiye and Arab states, especially the Gulf monarchies, often say they'llsupport Palestinians, but if they smell money they'll do the opposite.

This is deeply, deeply shameful. And all to bolster a nation that IS NOT THE UNITED STATES.

I picked farming and farmers to make a point that a Signym can't understand about employment and purchases by consumers. I'm staying with food. Back in 1900, Americans were spending 40% of their income on food. In 2024 the spending was 10%.

Percentage of Labor Force in Agriculture was 40% in 1900 and 2% in 2024. The point is that food became abundant and cheap (see the word cheap) when the labor input approached zero. The same is true for the manufacturing of any item. To make the item cheap enough to satisfy the most gluttonous consumer means the labor input to make the item has to approach zero.

Signym, if your preferred future is for millions of Americans to switch work and to go into a manufacturing job, all of America will be poorer because the labor input will increase rather than approach zero.

Because the average American Trumptard does not know that in 1900 the average American was working 60 hours per week, poor and underfed compared to the fat, lazy Trumptards of 2025, none of this will be understood by them.

In 1900, the average American worker worked around 10-12 hours per day, which translates to a workweek of roughly 60 hours, as most jobs required six days of work per week; this was due to the prevalent long working hours in the industrial era, with many factory workers putting in even longer shifts.
