galrads: has CNBC ever had anything positive to say about POTUS Trump?

No idea, the only thing I watch on CNBC is stock market programing. Until you mentioned it I didn't even realize it came from a CNBC reporter. Does it really matter? I thought the story was rather compelling and bears out what common sense would indicate. I found it quite interesting that jobs have migrated to China due to the much cheaper labor costs and now jobs are migrating from China to Bangladesh and Viet Nam for the same reason.

No halfway intelligent thinking person could ever believe that the US can compete on costs with these 3rd world countries. Would you take a job working even 40 hours a week for $100 a month? No, I didn't think so.
The irony is even if he could bring these jobs back, the only people willing to work them are being deported to Mexico.
Somehow I get a strong feeling that he just doesn't connect the dots.

Electronics is one thing, but why Is it hard to believe that we in the USA can't manufacture and distribute stuff like steel at competitive rates again?

Still along way to go. I'm not sure seasonal adjustments will hurt since it's seasonal work that's starting back up again. Actual employment is on the rise. Full time and better wages at that.

We'll have to see just what type and how much in the longer term. I think I read that one month was already thousands better than expected.

It's never been a like for like exchange regarding globalism. It's high-tech machinery with a few white surveyors - possibly combined with somewhat higher prices to protect more American jobs - versus the masses of cheap foreign labour torn off the land and taken into the sweatshops to cough their guts out with tuberculosis to provide us with a cheap iPhone.

BritishLondon: Diversity doesn't only makes you less charitable and generous towards other races, it makes you less helpful and supportive even towards your own kind. In every instance diversity makes an individual more likey to act upon immediate self-interest. Diversity is made for the belief that greed is good and global capitalism gets defeated by its own greed.


It's as diverse as a Russian Jewish woman escaping bolshevism and heading up a cult of male capitalist extremists. Diversity is a demented background and environment which hardens the heart.

Point being that things which may not seem like easy profits to you actually allow you to take back control. There's a lot more going on than the profit from each individual trade. You reach a point where your dependence on foreigners destroys your political sovereignty and at home you reach a point with diversity where you no longer trust or rely upon anyone around you. It's a perfect storm which is breaking democracy and will lead to authoritarian rule.

Globalisation and its domestic cousin diversity default humanity into its nasty, brutish, and narrowly self-interested state where strongmen rule the little people with an iron fist. Diversity is inequality in open disguise and equality is homogeny. That is the fact.

the industry i'm involved with has seen
a huge uptick in the manufacturing of new high end
US manufactured coaches.

loan/book values are holding quite nicely in the used market as well.
business is very good, everyone in the diesel biz is swamped over with
customers.

this is good for all the thousands of local large and small
mom and pop US parts manufacturers as well. also good for
australia since a lot of truck tires are manufactured there
and shipped here to help keep up with demand.
