Well a lot of our energy comes from coal plants so that job is still important until we allow nuclear power to be more abundant and manufacturing jobs are decent paying jobs where people can make an actual living off of until we get the point where automation makes them completely obsolete. No need to turn down your nose at any jobs that provide people with a good quality of life.

i dont understand the american obsession with traditional factory jobs and coal mining work. let it go dog. your bosses are making more, and giving out an occasional bonus and are totally placated.

Yeah I know real unemployment is much higher I generally link to statistics from u6 rather than u3 for this very reason. But its easy to bring them back apparently. Require US steel for government contracts and let us drill for oil while manufacturing our own gas from it, allow us to keep producing coal, tax companies for bring products back into America to make it more expensive for them to manufacture out of country because of lower wages. Chrysler is just one of the major companies to announce factories here in the us rather than abroad. And look at all these bonuses and jobs being given out to employees lately. The country is fixing itself and Trump is doing what Jerome wants just not the way he wants it to be done. Like no no we can't fix it like this we have to give them free shit so they stay dependent on the government forever.

Originally posted by kthxbring good manufacturing jobs back to the country and stop giving 20% of our population handouts while there is good work available
Going to say that again because it's so important. People who are actively looking for jobs but have been unemployed long-term are not counted as unemployed by the US govt. (This was changed under Clinton in 94.) So we have really no idea what the real unemployment numbers are, but they could be as much as 15%, or even higher. One thing we do know: it's definitely not 5%.
Of course, if there were more work available that paid enough, yes, we'd definitely see far fewer people on benefits. Not so easy to just say bring back manufacturing jobs, though. Or to get people to buy products made within the country at higher prices rather than cheap imports.

I pick the option that you don't see. Stop bringing in or letting hundreds of thousands of people cone across our border, stop giving money to countries like pakistan and for shit like the Paris accords, bring good manufacturing jobs back to the country and stop giving 20% of our population handouts while there is good work available. You choose to give up all you want I refuse to take that route in my life or in my beliefs. Its already getting fixed considering two million people got off good stamps since trump was elected. Sit back and enjoy as prosperity becomes the new normal as America stops giving in to all those other countries.

i do not think that 20% of our country should be on assistance. but if you advocate for a market system where there are winners and losers, and the losers just have to "deal with it" or "work harder", but we have a constitution that says we're not really morally into the idea of just letting these people starve to death in front of us, then we're going to need assistance programs.
if we had an economy that wasn't structured at benefiting a few people at the expense of the many, then we wouldn't need such a massive welfare state apparatus.
work with me here, you can't have capitalism AND our constitution AND no assistance for a massive (and growing) segment of the population who are struggling.
pick 2, discard 1.

You think that up to 43% of people being on government assistance once starting it for four years or more is appropriate and that they have done their due diligence to find a better job or improve their lives?

this sort of situation represents like 80 to 90 percent of people on food stamps - people going through temporary setbacks and use it for anywhere from 3 months to a year, and then no longer need it. i'm not going to potentially fuck 10 struggling people / parents out of assistance because one dude drags his feed and smokes weed. i'm not -that- concerned about the like, $40/month from my paychecks that go into paying for it.

what i dont understand is how the evidence can be right in front of you and you just don't see it. these people aren't wasting your taxpayer money.

Originally posted by Jerome Scuggs View Postbut this is the point i want to keep at the forefront of our discussions. by your own post you admit that you're 100% ok with the government spending more money and intruding on peoples' lives, so you've pretty much undone 90% of the arguments you've made against building a better healthcare system
you're ok with more government spending and more intrusive government so long as it targets poor people, who apparently just have it too good.

No no just read the article it has so much useful information, people thrown into overcrowded jails where they are starved and tortured, for things like having political protests in the socialistic paradise over there. I mean, I know you hate capitalism and our democratic republic and all but at least you can talk shit about it, and if you couldn't you would at least know you would get two two solid corndogs a day without being tortured.
