A single retard and his wife tilling the soil is not economically viable in the 21st century considering the advances made in productivity by larger entities. It's a waste of perfectly good space for the sake of what's basically subsistence farming. They largely don't exist anymore in the 1st world because they shouldn't.
Dude quit taking metaphors so literally when there's a perfectly good argument about factory work being a substitute for that manual labor right there in front of you
What incentive is there to put a fat American with a bullshit bachelor's degree on some factory line when the Chinaman does it basically for free and of better quality in a highly efficient system supported by advanced robotics? That fat American could be put to any work which is more profitable in the 1st world.
Clearly we should do nothing then because everything we're doing is wrong and we should continue to just let other countries dominate our manufacturing because this perfect idea of what you think should happen isn't currently happening. Perfect continues to be the eternal enemy of Good
Glad someone else understand this, Americans just lack any shred of self awareness to understand that being the world's largest consumer means they have had it BETTER than the rest of the world.
I'm too tired to keep explaining this shit, just read the thread about how service industry jobs are limiting, about how tariffs cost companies more than the cost of labor etc. Goodnight
Ah yes. Somehow the people doing tech jobs (decent money), living many in small apartments will definitely leave.
Look at a graph of the rate of inflation compared to the rate of wage increases.
Of course you cannot explain it because your position is simply incoherent. This is exactly why people like you cannot outcompete Chinamen and Indians as a labor force. You're terminally retarded. Musk is right that you should be replaced.
It's only not viable because you now live in economic trade zones rather than nations, where in certain zones you're punished for existing.
They don't. If Trump raises tariffs to China to some ridiculous number, American owned firms with overseas production will simply move their overseas production to other countries with lower tariffs, it's cheaper than paying American labor. And on and on in a game of chicken.
I literally explained it earlier tonight in this same fucking thread, i'm not going to keep spoonfeeding you fucking retards by repeating the same shit over and over again.
Yes, and those "zones" where you're punished for existence is not the first world importer service economies, let alone the United States, it's the resource extraction zones.
Look, it’s not about demanding a perfect solution, it’s about acknowledging what the ground looks like right now.
Because foreigners seem to have it in their head that the average American is living like a fat cat off a service sector job, even the poor, when the reality is that most of us are living paycheck to paycheck and hardly consume anything after we've paid our bills. What's actually happening is that more wealthy Americans are consuming, most often beyond their means, and it gives you people this deluded perception that all of us are living like that when we aren't. I won't claim poverty unlike most here. I make decent money and own my own home but many of my peers do not. We're fighting for a damn good reason none of you will ever see that because you DON'T LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES!
I am being honest about that I literally said it was risky right from the start, but when a man only has 4 years to try and make change he needs to make sometimes stupidly risky plays. This isn't the first time a president has done something seemingly retarded to try and make change, sometimes they succeed, sometimes they don't. Literally no one here knows what the outcome is going to be.
