  • What Apple would have to do to comply with Donald Trump's American-built mandate

    I agree. Clinton would have easily beaten Trump if not for all the deplorable cheating for him.
    this shit is rigged. Trump himself said it.

    I don’t like commie gotcha phrases.
    there is no draining of any swamp
    Nice defeatism.
    a $1,000,000 "loan". 
    Uh… he paid it back and the stipulation was that it be paid back, so explain how it wasn’t a loan.
    your next post should be at least a decade of your calculations of unemployment, so we can see how the numbers are actually trending.
    Your laziness and refusal to accept fact already presented because it hurts your feelings only serves to weaken your argument. What kind of idiot thinks unemployment is under 5% with the economy in its current state? I mean, holy fuck, have some fucking self-awareness here.

    oh, and just for reference, the president-elect is now losing by over 1,000,000 votes.
    3 million illegals voted and there are 4 million dead people registered. Never mind the fact that we don’t have fucking voter ID laws in a majority of the country. Try the fuck again.
    show me your unemployment stats for the past several decades.

    let us see *your* trends vs. the US department of labor

    Single payer or Medicare for all is perfectly constitutional - Even a republican Supreme Court wouldn't dare declare Medicare unconstitutional.
    Neither is constitutional. What someone would “dare” to do has absolutely nothing to do with the constitutionality of said action or the thing being ruled.

    Sorry. No. We know how the government “calculates” its shit. We know it’s wrong. I don’t care about their dialectic or how they want to try to reframe the definition of ‘unemployed’. I care about the number of working age individuals who aren’t, and it’s nowhere near 4 and a half fucking percent. kamilton said:



    it is easy to change the face of the argument when you don't have data to back it up.

     show me decades worth of *your* statistical calculations of unemployment. what is most telling is the trends & change - i.e. recovering from the financial disaster that under regulated banks poured on the working class.

    yeah. now they are having the minimal post-disaster regulations removed :/

    who is playing to wall street?
    there is no draining of any swamp, there is a power-hungry demagogue fueled by nepotism, feeding the banks that made him, and they will trample on the people again (as he has done since his dad first gave him a $1,000,000 "loan".

    US unemployment is currently 4.9%
    It’s 30%. Knock off the propaganda.
    http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000

    in following the same calculation for the past decade, it is nearing the low point. 
    and it is currently 1/2 what it was at the peak post-big bank bailout.

    coincidentally, those big banks & insurance companies that screwed the US tax payers then are, once again, going to be given free reign of their "business"

    fool me once, shame on you. 
    fool me twice, shame on me.

    the swamp won't be drained, it is just getting a 50 foot wall around it in the hopes we cannot see the bastardized power & money grab that will be happening by the billionaires in the next 4 years.

    The poor and lower middle class who have been left out of the economy for the past two decades due to globalist elites might still be worth supporting. (note: all wealth gain has gone to the top 1% in the US since the 1970s) Because our current system (and that proposed by the dems) is that it is better to not have a job than have a job that you don't want (one reason the dems voicing support the US economy losing 2 million people in the workforce due to the affordable care act), it could be an improvement to actually raise costs and reduce taxes. Consider: walmart pays their workers next to nothing because of the tacit agreement with the elite that their workers will be subsidized an additional $18 or so from our taxes in the form of earned income tax credits (for example). tl;dr: We could raise costs and lower taxes and improve the quality of life for Americans. Is it worth propping up the anti-human right Chinese govt. with our innovative technologies and growing their economy while our 99% suffer?
    US unemployment is currently 4.9%

    if we brought back all the US manufacturing lost to overseas in the past 35 years, we would need to open the borders wider to bring in more Mexican laborers.
    beyond the number of workers we would need, i have a feeling these jobs would be akin to the berry-picking field jobs. aka ones already employed US citizens don't want.

    Manufacturing was forced out of the US by billionaires (and multi-millionaires) refusing to share profits with the middle class, and so the only way to break the unions was to move out of the country.

    forcing companies to move back wont change the attitude of the rich.
    you will still have real estate moguls claiming bankruptcy before paying their subcontractors,
    manufacturers forcing down wages
    & the ultra rich refusing to share wealth in any way with the 50% of Americans who make less than US $50,000 a year.
