4. Another bullshit distraction

It's the latest meme to justify the lack of jobs. In effect, look how much we helped you by outsourcing all thosejobs cause they are going away anyway. Someday, somehow.

Bullshit.

Robotics only works in certain instances and only in controlled environment. Invest in some f'in factories this country and then prove that there aren't any jobs and maybe I'll believe these people. In the meantime,

Where are the jobs? Today? Now? In this country?

Make some stuff here that we need. Windmills? Solar collectors? Installation of them?

High speed rail rolling stock? High speed rail corridors? Bridges? Broadband? Fiber?

Like I said. Bullshit.

I noticed the trial balloon for this bullshit a couple months ago. Probably turn over this rock and you'll find the US Chamber of Commerce (if that isn't an oxymoron).
