How Do you Feel Now?

It depends on who you ask.

 

On the other hand, the employers are squeezed to pay as little as possible in order to keep costs down and be competitive. Of course, this works better when we're not forced to compete with foreign markets, where people earn pennies on the dollar. American factory workers had it pretty nice after WWII when America was producing a lot to satisfy a high demand. Lately it's China that has benefited from that demand, and they really have benefited since it's been raising their quality of living accordingly, and they've done this in a largely capitalist way also.

Get well-intentioned meddling buffoons away from capitalism and it works fine.

 

Are you really so naïve as to believe that a number of countries don't protect their borders with mines? Where have you been? But, you MUST put up signage, in several different languages, and provide lots of public warning for at least six months before activating the mines. Then, if they insist on invading our country anyway, they take their chances.

The land mine strips I'm thinking of would not be located in the urban areas. Those are portions of the border that could be best handled by border-patrol agents in vehicles and on foot. No, only put the mines in vast, open stretches where a "wall" would be incredibly difficult to build, staff, and maintain. I've jeeped all over the desert mountain southwestern part of the U. S. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about.

If you could resist the temptation to try making yourself appear witty with such a silly, simple-minded post, people might regard you more highly.... Besides, you misspelled "woman", or if you really meant, "women", then you should have used the plural of "man".... . I know you can do better than this.

Walls CAN work, and work very well, but not even Israel has completed their wall with the Palestinians yet, and it is much, much shorter, and not nearly so high as the wall that President Trump has been thinking about. The country that such a wall must pass through is forbidding, hostile, hotter than hell in summer, and surprisingly cold in winter. It is no place to build, staff, or maintain a 50-foot high wall, believe me! That's why I propose land mines and armed surveillance drones.

The country through which such a wall would pass is exactly like this:

. . . You would never, ever want to build a wall through this country... EVER.

 

Landmines? Haha

 

That would be hilarious, but fast food workers are not 1/4 of the work force lol, it's actually about 7.6%, and not all of that can actually be replaced by kiosks.

 

Trump’s revolution has been a long time brewing.

The Forgotten Man, Franklin Roosevelt applied the term to the man on the breadline in the Great Depression, now the man at the bottom of the economic pyramid, more properly applies to those unhappy-if-silent taxpayers who funded the New Deal’s social-welfare schemes. And these are the forerunners of the Tea Partiers, another key class of Trump voter: the widow on a fixed income whose property-tax payment helps house a public-sector retiree comfortably but whose inexorable rise is making her own paid-off home unaffordable; the retiree whose IRA savings the Great Recession eroded or who can no longer get an adequate income from safe bond investments, thanks to the Federal Reserve’s policies; the small businessman or farmer ruined by undemocratic government regulation lacking even the pretense of due process; the ex-soldier abandoned by a dysfunctional Veterans Administration; the parent disgusted with public schools that impose ideologies she abhors on her children, while leaving them inadequately educated; and all those sincere believers in God or traditional values whom Obama dismissed as clinging desperately to outmoded pieties, as the arc of history, which the elite professor-president claimed to understand and direct according to his politically correct enlightenment, swirled them down the drain.

Just a question. If a company wants to leave of it's own accord, what's to keep them from selling it to the employees and going offshore and setting up shop again anyway? Non compete clauses are not exactly enforceable overseas. The company sells out, moves out of the country and sacks the business it sold and takes all their customers. This happens in the US quite often after a noncompete expires.

 

Yeah I saw the list of cabinet officials Hillary supposedly would have appointed. Same old recycled corrupt pols from former Rapist in Chief's presidency. Example was Jamie Gorelick for Justice. Good Heavens! She was the idiot that erected the "wall" between Justice and CIA so they couldn't share intel with each other - a system widely blamed for the 9/11 hijackers being able to carry out their mission. She also was involved in Fannie Mae when it was discovered cooking the books on its profits so execs (including Jamie) could collect huge bonuses as well as the no down payment policies that caused the housing crash that led to the 2008 financial crisis.

 

My take on your post is no one is doing well, but they are all doing poorly together so it's A-OK.

The Happiest place on Earth I tell ya.

 

That's like saying that that agriculture jobs disappeared and unemployment went through the roof as farming equipment allowed 2 people to do the work of 100.

Humans advance and adapt, and yes, invent greater things that allow us to use our time on more productive things.

Automation also improves efficiency, which in turn provides more product to fulfill demand, which in turn, wait for it... makes products/service affordable to the masses.

It's economics 101

 

Not if the masses don't have jobs, it doesn't.

 

Reply to my post? "Haha"? Is this amazingly deep retort reflective of your overall mentality...?

But, please, genius, if you don't like mines and drones, how would YOU keep illegal aliens from invading the United States...? . I can promise you that "Haha" won't get the job done!

 

According to your description of your own travels, you would be among the most likely of being blown up by the land mines you are proposing.

In any case, another poster in here has already clarified that Trump has always maintained such areas would not require his fence.

I guess 4.7% of a group is now considered "the masses".

If there are any gaps or unprotected vulnerabilities in the protection of our border, you can bet that illegal aliens will FIND them!

To anyone believing that this is going to be an easy thing to accomplish, I suggest that you fly into the airport at El Paso, Texas, rent a Jeep Rubicon, and drive (as much as you can) down to Del Rio, Texas, staying as close to the actual border as you can. Then and only then can ANYONE begin to comprehend the enormity of what kind of undertaking this "wall" would be. Perhaps AFTER the trip has been completed, others might say, "Yeah, that guy on the forum as right! There's no (*)(*)(*)(*)ing way to do this except for land mines and armed surveillance drones."

 

i support mixing natural and physical barriers that don't kill people. I also think harsher penalties would relieve our efforts as well.

 

Thank you. I can respect this opinion, and believe me when I tell you that I don't (DON'T) want to kill people. I would prefer that immigrant aliens come into this country legally, and if they do that I will certainly welcome them. Some of the finest people I have ever known have been Latino-American citizens, quite a few of whom had families that were already in this country for well over a hundred years before my people got here from the Rhineland in Germany.

I also agree with you about harsher penalties -- especially for American citizen employers who deliberately hire illegal aliens. The employers are surely the worst part of the entire problem. Some illegals do come barging into the country to get on the big Democrat Welfare gravy-train, but most of those who come here come to work, make money, and send it home to Mexico (mostly).

 

In inner cities, it translates to "masses"--and you are also leaving out those that have given up or taken early retirement and the underemployed in your calculations.

 

And get people killed-



I'm a Brit in England so it's none of my business, but I have to say it sticks in my craw a bit that the 2000 dead never seemed to get a mention by Obama or his babe Hillary during the election campaign, as if they were trying to sweep Afgh under the carpet, or as Basil Fawlty might say- "Don't mention the war!"
I wonder how the grieving families feel at having their loved ones partially airbrushed out of history and forgotten like that?

 

Good point on the employer penalties. Because we don't want to have to fill our prisons with foreigners and we still need to deter them.

 

I feel it!

Trump’s inauguration speech served him well, according to a new poll from Morning Consult. Fully 65 percent said they viewed his “America First” message positively, specifically when he said, “From this moment on, it’s going to be America first. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.”

It essentially was a continuation of his nomination acceptance speech, building force and power that will crest at the State of The Union, which will have no Democrats on the podium.

Last I checked 42% of women and a clear majority of white women voted for Trump, so tone down the rhetoric on that.

 

It is up to the individual to find work. Not for government to find work for the individual.

The automobile put the horse/carriage industry out of business for example.
