They actually have a problem with workers or the lack of them and they have invested heavily in robotics. They aren’t the China of the 70s and 90s. It’s really something that we need to face up to if we want to compete but our political class isn’t really ready for that sort of reality. Years behind because of smugness.

While they are subsidised, the Chinese are really good at low cost manufacturing. It’s not the cheap labour anymore but factory automation and robotics. They really outclass anyone else.

Billionaires, you have to have faith that they are on your side. As an atheist I have some difficulty with faith in this context.

Not doing well in the polls? Another controversial angst fest is needed. Just ignore him.

The term is Trumped up.

Definitely surprised that the incompetent administration allowed this.

It’s like the death penalty, once you kill someone it’s too late to say sorry when new evidence comes out and they are innocent.

TACO again. Faced with collapse of the food bowl which was obvious……

Isn’t he Fox lightweight? How could they have confirmed him?

What fools. Don’t they have any idea?

It is really interesting that when people focus on getting their personal lives in order they loose impetus to take community level action like vote. “a single vote in a recent national election in Canada could be more than 20 times as effective as skipping a long flight” brings it into focus.

Even in Australia where voting is compulsory we see the effect in that voting for non climate change issues is an issue.

Is this more TACO? Sounds like it.

I noticed that he had a thick bulletproof screen on the podium on Saturday. Maybe he thinks he’s riled a few people.

There are so many critical jobs that Americans just won’t do and the far right racists are hell bent to cause a major economic collapse with no food production, no restaurants, no garbage collection, no parcel delivery…… It’s how to Make America Grate

They are part of the climate change hoax, eliminating is necessary!

I thought the job was always difficult and dangerous. Just look at the weapons and body armour they wear.

Effectively it was stack the Supreme Court and lower courts to provide top cover, then use whatever means to get a majority and then move to rule by decree. It’s all illegal as presidents are bound by law but this one is protected by a rogue Supreme Court.

Did they use the the H word or is that a word too far?

Sounds Israel and Russia. Trump has been studying hard and taking out the journos is the first step.

Really it’s just misdirection. You’re winning the Ukraine argument so start a new thread about something else. It just shows Russian doctrine at work, keep lying and keep people guessing about what might happen. Rattling nuclear weapons is another example.
