Whitehouse Transition

[First]

It all makes sense why these people are predisposed to vilifying school as a leftist institution, given these sort of attitudes on display here.

Nah, I've always thought Poker Guy was some lame parody account. Dude, I bet you poor dude is Dennilfloss back from the dead.

Trump was the inevitable consequence of poe's law. To think people would've had a good laugh not weeks ago if this were published in The Onion.

Yup. Ugh, my head hurts just thinking about how apt The Onion truly is nowadays.

And The Simpson's has become the great oracle of future events. Scary world we live in!

Like you admitted before, you won't accept facts that don't fit your beliefs.

Hope you like $8000 iphones ...

Stop spreading FUD so you can continually justify the exploitation of foreigners who work under conditions and wages that you would decry as exploitative as well as illegal if you had to work under them.

I bet every so called liberal in America would be up in arms if companies in America had suicide nets around their factories here but barely pay it lip service if it happens in some faraway land so they could save a buck on their overpriced precious i-phones.

So the bottom-line appears to be that assembly could be done in the U.S. if consumers were willing to pay an additional $30-40, rising to around an additional $100 if as many components as practical were manufactured here – but the impact on the job market isn’t likely to be significant.

I am proud to say that we at Silicon Valley are working very hard to solve this very problem through automation and artificial intelligence. We don't need suicide nets in China or the US. We need robots making stuff so people are free to follow their dreams instead of doing repetitive tasks for low pay.

Hopefully there is a copy of "Presidency for Dummies" book left over from W.

Too bad Trump shares Dubya's love of reading. No dog ears on that text.

It's important to realize that robot paychecks go to the people who own the robots. If we want part of that, we'll need to get it with taxes & redistribution. Trickle down simply cannot deliver because it's not supposed to do so. It's always been bullshit.

The message from the Job Creators to the American People is "Your services are no longer required."

There's no way that Trumpian headsets can appreciate that at all.

Paychecks replaced by robots will be split between the owners of robots and the tech companies designing the technology in those robots. Trumpians are going to be Trumpians, maybe they'll get him to ban computers

Harry Reid pushed through the rule change that came to be known as the "Nuclear Option" in 2013. This will result in Trump's cabinet choices being confirmed and Democrats will have zero say. A few Democrats foresaw the potential of negative consequences with the rule change but most of the brain-dead Democrats were all for it.

Maybe in 2019 when the Republicans have a 61-39 advantage in the Senate they can change it back?

 

[theeedude]

Is this where we pretend that the Republicans would not have used the Nuclear option if the Democrats didn't use it?
The only think that would have changed is that there would be more vacancies for GOP to fill by virtue of their obstruction.
