I doubt they're that smart

Construction more likely. They could have even gotten.paid apprenticeships.

But no, they say on their asses and cried instead of being self sufficient.

Did maga totally give up on bootstrap ideology while embracing the lefts culture of victimization? You betcha.

No they aren't the tit for tat as described..

So on balance, are our tariffs higher or lower than our trading partners?

It’s almost like the parties have swapped positions along the way.

Observing that the deck is stacked is bad how?

Let me guess, girls should work harder to compete against the “trans-women” in the sport.

Again, you are a tool.

On this topic it extends to the right as well. Everyone has done a 180.

No wonder you love the CCP. Most limousine liberals do.

I’m not surprised that you view people that have trade skills as dumb.

"Trade skills" is what these people who lost low-level manufacturing jobs should have developed, not coding, as you responded previously.

Not in my case.

I have consistently said that offshoring manufacturing to enemy states is a terrible idea.

I stand by that.

If it works, why are we so far more wealthy?

Hint: it's an anchor to an economy.

Is not something that you are familiar with.

Not everyone in the industry was on a sewing machine.

Perhaps you’ve never heard of Segway, or Magnaquench.

Again , your inner limousine liberal is showing.

Because an economy can be multifaceted and diversified.

Their jobs became inefficient and economically suboptimal.

Currently a job at McDonalds is higher-paced, more skilled, and more economically productive than these jobs you want back (without governmetn intervention and redistribution of wealth). Why do they deserve double/triple the salary of a McDonalds worker (+ benefits and retirement, if we're going fully halcyon)?

Our economy is.

We're also a YUGE manufacturing nation. #2 with no close #3.

So all manufacturing is bad?

Damn IB, I mean Roger, that’s one helluva moronic take.
