the irony of all this is that the globalists set up chinese imports so we can “save money”.
too bad that a lot of garbage chinese gypsum is toxic, and has poisoned all the homes that were built with it.

there we have it. America’s future under “free trade”. Shut down American industry and import defective, toxic or poisonous crap from China.
the Globalists profit from arranging this outsourcing, then scold the country for finally rejecting this stupidity.
A thought experiment ... what would happen to Mr. Williamson if the word “white” was replaced with “black” in his article?
Funny you never hear the term, “Black Working-Class Communities”......why is that?
Leeches like Williamson and Obama are to blame for the woes of the white middle class, the same unchanged class that could and did build and maintain the great American economy for over a century, until our homegrown communists surgically attached THE greatest parasite in world history directly to its jugular vein.
“...condemns the white working class, and says they should die off...”
Who is going to pay your welfare, EBT cards, disability, low rent housing and “gibsmedats” if the white working class is gone????
JAZZ SHAW...Please read “Atlas Shrugged”....
This has nothing to do with Trump. Somebody on another thread about this pointed out that the author appears to have confused the white working class with white trash, who have always been with us and are probably more so now because of the breakdown of our religious faith and morality combined with the noxious, leveling effects of media culture, where black ghetto dysfunctionality is held out as the norm to which all should strive.
This began long ago, and while economics are involved, I blame it much more on culture. Whites have seen that blacks don’t get penalized for dysfunction but instead get a free ride from Uncle Sam. But a lot of the debris left by the moral and intellectual collapse of our society (thanks to the leftists in the academy) has landed on the heads of poorer whites, who now are told that they’re worthless, there’s no way they can get ahead without the government doing it for them, but at the same time that they’re not a priority for the government. They are genuinely disempowered.
It’s perfectly normal now for white women in my part of Florida to have several children by several different men, with the men spending their lives evading child support since they were never married to any of these women and were just doing the sperm donor thing. They’re still liable, but the women rarely collect, because the men move from job to job and, while they won’t move out of state seeking a better life for their families, they’ll move to get away from child support.
There is a serious social problem here. However, it’s not with the “working class,” but with the descendants of people who probably haven’t been doing a lot of work practically since the 1970s. And honestly, they really should have moved away once the big business in their town left. Once the railroads and buses stopped running to these towns, they were off the map and that was it, and once you had the restrictive environmental regulations, even places that produced forest products or things like coal were hurting.
So government regulation is a big culprit in this, IMHO. But a sense of dependency on government was the other.
Moving and striking out on your own was always the American way. Like the boll weevil, if it doesn’t suit you one place, just pick up and be gone. Everything from “Go West, young man!” to the emigration of the Okies (who became very successful in California, as I can attest from family relations) was a response to a bad economic situation. But it was done by people with confidence in their individual abilities, not waiting for the state to do things for them.
And it was done by families or couples, that is, people who were married, had the support of each other and their families and had children who could count on this. And if they weren’t married when they got to these places, that was a prime objective.
So I’d say what has destroyed white hopes is not any particular economic disaster, but the complete moral and social undermining of the United States by the left. That’s the thing to fight back against.
No doubt. I can’t absorb all this garbage, it is coming faster and harder. Who are these anti-American freaks??

I was a third generation coal operator. We owned and operated our own mines from 1940 till 1985. We went out of business because the Feds and state put us out of business not because we didn’t know what doing but because the Feds did not want to deal with 500 small mines if they could deal with 5 big ones, so they put out every small mine they could. We were one of the last to be put out and the blame squarely lies on the Feds doorstep. Started in 70 and took them 15 years to put us out. This guy does not know what he is talking about. The reason drug use is heavy in E. Ky is because of the types of injuries we had from mining. I have a broke back as my father did and it is painful that is why I must use drugs, Dad never did. He was tougher than me. At one time if the coal business got bad you could go build cars or make steel in Mich., but no more.
There was a time on FR when that would have been a completely uncontroversial conclusion.
I never heard they put it in, and after a couple of recent jumps I assumed it wasn’t there yet...
I wonder . . . would this guy say the same about the blacks? He’ll defend their dysfunctionality & blame the decline of Detroit & similar cities on white flight or transferring of jobs elsewhere. Would he say the black underclass deserves to disappear? At least the whites aren’t out rioting.
