The immigrants thing gets skewed because the few African immigrants we get that aren’t refugees tend to be more competent than the rest of the continent. The country of origin matters a lot too.
That's critical. The Indians who came over pre-1990 were very intelligent...and then we opened the floodgates. Europe opened immigration to anyone in Africa and in return got a bunch of violent Muslims who destroyed large portions of their cities.

A lot of naive people who've only encountered the top 0.01% of a group think that the other 99.99% is equally as good.

A lot of older immigrants are extremely anti-immigration because they know what they ran from and do not want it to follow them.
 
Most gamers in general are incapable of getting through the day without saying the nigger word.
Which is desirable on a factory floor because factories are based.
No. Not even a little bit? Your logic was "How true can it possibly be that China has unique tooling quality when they don’t have a single noteworthy machine tool manufacturer?"
You're saying they can't make good machined tooling or components because they don't have a major Mill or Lathe manufacturer in their country.
I thought "machine tool" meant the forms and jigs that are used to make the final parts, so not the lathe or chisel, and not the wooden chair leg, but the shape of the chair leg cut into steel that you can run the chisel along.

ONE of us is retarded. At least one.

I'm still unsure of the point Bernie's sperg out over Social Security is, other than to scare the shit out of old people with having their gibs being taken away. They've been scaring and fear mongering this shit ever since Obama was in office. "Better not let another Republican take office. They want to gut government programs." Well, they do, but not for American citizens. Ever since they've started defunding their new voting block, they've been more agitated about it. I mean, it's true. I haven't seen the Democrats this pissed since the Republicans took away their slaves.
If I had to guess, Bernie is seeing the layoffs happening to social security staff, and Elon Musk using a prop chainsaw when talking about the US budget, and thinking that the two things are probably related.

Don’t feel bad. There are probably even some machinists who don’t know that the catch all term for the shit they work with is “machine tool.”

Our culture considers manufacturing too dirty and poor to be worth mentioning, so I wouldn’t be surprised if zillennials didn’t know what ANY of it is called

Machine Tool is a broad term. So yes. Since you're asking. One of us is.

Bernie is grifting his constiuents for money. It's what he always does. And like always, no refunds.

Yup, the few Africans the us gets often aren’t cut from the same cloth as the gimmegrants flooding Europe and often dislike African Americans for various reasons. And as you said it was the equivalent of the Indian immigrants from before 1990 that were much brighter than the rest of the subcontinent. The average Indian and African are retarded and opening up to all of them is a bad idea.
 
Its ok, you won't have to proactively feed them. Lathes are unforgiving to people to who fuck around near them, they'll eat the zoomers themselves. Might get an entire new generation of Liveleaks from retards who didn't take the factory floor seriously.
Have you ever broken the first commandment and one on with the chuck key in?

That’s terrifying. This dude goes over the math involved


Ugh never mind, he just goes over it as a math problem without filling in the numbers. Here’s some guys actually throwing chuck keys with a lathe

"DO IT FOR THE VIIIIINE!"
hungry lathe noises
"YOOLOOOO"

It's better than AM radio!
 
Actually, that's a valid argument worth rebutting whenever it comes up. If we're going to repatriate manufacturing and refinery for a bevy of industries in the USA, it's imperative that we address the issue of industrial waste. As much as we like to bitch and moan about China, India, and Vietnam being polluted shitholes, the rapid industrialisation and lax enforcement on environmental laws had more than a hand to play in those places becoming so unpleasant. A huge reason why the neoliberal order took hold in America was largely because of the perceived environmental benefits of not having industrial waste risk contaminating your groundwater supply or polluting your air. If we truly want industrialisation and refinery to come back into America in full swing, we can't just say "fuck the EPA" and let the factories do what they will without regard for the environmental impact they actually do have. The USA hasn't adequately dealt with the ramifications of East Palestine, OH getting polluted with PFAs and other such forever chemicals due to the train derailment. If we can't deal with that, it spells out a rather troubling omen of things to come if and when we get our factories back.
As someone adjacent to manufacturing(I’m in energy sector), some of the chemicals and shit that need to be handled make me glad there are regulations in place, because if companies had free reign to have workers around some of this shit longer than we allow its bad news for the poor fucker they choose
 
Whenever I see that haircut, my intrusive thoughts are nothing but "get a buzzer and publicly shave this retard's head." I do not know how any parent could let their children go outside with a haircut like that.
They're just all trying to blend in with their half black nappy-headed buddy Brayden/Jayden/Aiden.

I'm a zoomer and I don't get it. I also remember Windows XP in its prime. Maybe these two are connected.
