No, it's because this problem has been there for so long no one is going into those trades in the US in numbers needed, so the technical education base for it, and the more important lived work experience, has steadily vanished with each retirement or death from old age, without the native...

Yes, and he's not had the GOP hold his feet to the fire over it because they've been acting retarded about the Ukraine and Israel aid. No, not when those workers are often in the nation illegally, and not when imported labor bring import problem not already existent in the native worker base...

But that's what we import 3rd worlders for, because the are poor already, thus will accept less pay/accept the illegal immigrant life in order to scrub toilets for cheap. Because no company or political group in the US actually wants to try to make wages keep up with cost of living and...

USN numbers don't help when what is fucking the Panama Canal is low water levels and poor water cycling design in the legacy locks. And in case you haven't notice, shit tons of US and allied ships has not been able to stop the Houthi's from effectively shutting down the southern entrance to the...

Good news that some of the mid-sized cargo vessels are now able to enter and exit Balitmore Harbor once again. IIRC, they have a safe channel now that can handle 30 foot draft vessels, which opens up a lot more ability to move ships in and out.

Great to see the 'racism of low expectations' trope is alive and well in the baseline views of Reaganite economics. It explains so much. People feature on Dirty Jobs have just as much, if not often more, of a critical role to play in society than that those of your mindset, where those jobs...

Not how government works in the US or ever has, even if I feel the border is important. I just don't see the border as something to try to tie UA or Israel aid to, those are very separate and different issues. Our problems with the US border are decades old and damn near systemic, and never...

Except it didn't, history shows it didn't get any movement on border issues, it just frittered away months of time and thousands of UA lives trying to pretend the border was actually going to be dealt with as a part of/condition on foreign aid. Instead of them being separate issues, like they...

Multipolar could also just be DC, Paris, Warsaw, Tokyo, and Tel Aviv competing for market share against India and Brazil and the Saudi's in mostly peaceful and contained manners, like soccer riots during/after the World Cup or the Olympics. No need for multipolar to include Beijing or Moscow or...

Attempting to tie UA and Israel aid to border funding was a stupid move and complete self-own by the GOP. They are all issues that should be debated and passed on their own merits, not as leverage against each other. So all you haters who wanted to cut UA off and force them to surrender, while...

Heh, Nasu and his works will be confusing to historical scholars if things collapse and civilization restarts.
