(34,648 posts)Time to move forward. Bernie was stuck in the past back in the 80 and is still trying to bring back the old days and the old policy that was desired when he was young.
Why the hell should we lie about reopening factories that no company want to open here and pay decent wages for? Trump lie and Hillary told the truth. If people were fooled by a many times bankrupt con artist who stiffs workers when he says he will bring back jobs that no company will actually bring back then they will learn soon.
Those jobs are gone.
They have been automated.
Businesses are not going to pay a hundred people to do what ten people can do just to please Trump.
Fewer nations are wanting to use coal fired power plants. We cannot FORCE them to keep burning coal just because there are people who want good wages to mine the shit. We cannot force the market to raise the price of coal to give them better pay and force the businesses to hire more miners to mine a products that is less desirable by the day.
These people want regulations to force their jobs back but also want low taxes for the owners who actually ship the manufacturing overseas.
And we Americans are not willing to pay the prices to affford us to be able to do all our manufacturing. We like cheap products. We like high wages. We want low taxes. We want the manufacturing jobs here.
Well fuck. We want so much shit we aint never going to get, I see why they mad that democrats told the truth.
