You explicitly told me my numbers were wrong and never offered any follow up as to what the true numbers are. The studies I linked to showed trade policy as being the cause of only 13% of job loss in domestic manufacturing. Most of the rest was due to automation / technology.Originally Posted by kahless
I don't believe automation is causing things to "go to hell" here in the US (in fact, quite the opposite) but that is a debate for another day.
But if you agree that automation is responsible for a large portion of the job loss we're seeing, I'm curious how tariffs will help with that?
In my own observations, any source that is critical of Trump, no matter how valid the criticism, is immediately labeled "fake news" or "Soros propaganda" by many of the Trump fanbois, and dismissed out of hand. No need to provide data to refute. Facts don't matter. In the rare cases where someone does provide contradictory sources, they are mostly sources that are even more suspect than the ones they're objecting to. (For example, the ONLY contradictory source anyone cited in my drone thread was US military sources, citing the very people whose misbehavior is under examination as a source to disprove that misbehavior. Also, all that was ever contested were the raw numbers. The fact that Trump continues to employ illegal, unconstitutional drone strikes, and that at least some innocent civilians are killed and maimed in the process was just glossed over.)
Any source that supports their position, no matter how suspect otherwise and no matter how much conflicting factual data one provides, is A-OK. No critical analysis necessary.

"Government ... does not exist of necessity, but rather by virtue of a tragic, almost comical combination of klutzy, opportunistic terrorism against sitting ducks whom it pretends to shelter, plus our childish phobia of responsibility, praying to be exempted from the hard reality of life on life's terms." Wolf DeVoon
"...Make America Great Again. I'm interested in making American FREE again. Then the greatness will come automatically."Ron Paul
Here we go again.
The studies I posted show otherwise and my point about things going to hell is the future of automation to come. Which again is why I posted this quote below.
Like I said in the other thread do you really want a tax increase to fund a UBI and to grow the welfare state due to where we are headed with automation?
