Deception and outright lies by a massive environMENTALists effort.
the cost of the ban at more than $250 million in lost economic activity over the next decade.
That isn’t an answer, it’s a meme. There’s lots of manufacturing in America, done on automated assembly lines. Those jobs are gone, they will never exist again.
(The increase in service positions is reflected by the increase in population, the lack of strong economic growth, and the large and growing underemployed population, thanks to Obamanomics.)
IMO an Economic Populist is really gonna CLEAN UP in the next election cycle.
Just hope it’s not the Fake White Indian.
Jeez, you Freepers - look at the bright side; because they can't get jobs they have degrees for, we have the best educated bartenders anywhere!
America needs jobs.
Jobs.
The GOP needs to start to support Jobs.
Right here in America.
Jobs for Americans... not Amnesty for illegals who work for Facebook/Zuckerberg and work for less that Americans who are in plentiful supply for the very same industry.
This is the truth.
“waitresses and bartenders...”
Is the service any better these days? I don’t think so. I’ve noticed that in a lot of restaurants, sports bars and even neighborhood joints, how the waitresses and/or bartenders are increasingly adopting an “all about us” image of themselves on the job. Employees commandeering the jukebox is one of my pet peeves...Let the customer have a turn once in awhile! AND if I’m discussing current events with the person sitting next to me and we keep it down to a low roar on a busy day, I’d prefer that the bartender would just worry about doing his or her job than to listen for “inappropriate” subject matter. And it goes on...
RE: Is the service any better these days?
I’m happy with those serving me at my local Starbucks ( as long as the queue isn’t too long ) :)
When the central bank is handing out money at near-no-interest rates, it means that economic opportunity -— where opportunity is created, and that is in small to medium size businesses -— is thwarted by either environment or government.
Obviously, in the USA, the government is a major obstacle to economic opportunity; mostly because the government is obsessed with its continuing theft of what is not its to take: our rights, our property, our sovereignty.
Our government does not own our Constitution - it belongs to the people and to the states.
If the recent election “said anything,” it was a rally around our blessed Bill of Rights, our First Ten Amendments to our Constitution, which are ignored by the leftists/liberals/progressives/socialists/banksters/lawyer-sters/liberal-and-Palace-media...sters.
ONLY when those monsters get off the backs of the people, and off the backs of our rights, our property, and our right to seek and grow opportunities ... will there be a significant positive response to lending.
Let alone several other improvements in the economies.
The economies do *NOT* live and die upon the largesse of the rich banksters/lawyersters/liberal-academica-Keynesian-istas/... and vitriol of the race card hustlers marketing “OH, THE DISPARITY!”
There is no spigot, despite the desires of all those socialist, allegedly enlightened (or not), to turn ON or turn OFF, some cash flows and thus control votes!
Instead, there is a spirit of free enterprise ... when politicians are *NOT* crushing it.
So, if you want improvements, you have to get the politico-bottlenecks, such as:
- some EPA regulations and dictates
- really lousy education regulations and dictates
- greedy landlord lobbyists who envision cheap laborers and ever-more-dense “developments” (so that EVERYWHERE is “sustainable” Detroit??!!
- etc.
... all, out of the way of actual progress.
Actual progress, the very thing that “progressives” are determined to STOP, and replace with Stalinism and Islamic chaos -— anything to promote these “progressive hustlers.”
One of the bartenders at my local Chili’s has a
degree in chemical engineering. Many of the wait
staff in town are college students. They leave
the area upon graduation as there are no jobs
in their field here.
Thats what the libs tried to claim about all of the jobs that were created during the Reagan administration. Low wage service sector employment
And furthermore ...
The prices of silver and gold are *not* set by “the markets.”
Silver and gold prices are set by central banks. Both metals are used to siphon away money from savers.
The prices are both lower, relative to a couple years ago, because savers have less money and/or have their “fill.”
Savers now are sitting on “precious metals” that the central banks could ruin, easily.
Any time that the U.S. GUBMINT decides to get back the gold, in particular, and then re-sell it, some president can simply issue an executive order.
Given the fact that too many federal agents are ignorant and oblivious to the sources of power ... ie from whence does their authority stem ... such agents will just go along to abuse and assert their authority in blind reaction to that executive order.
An executive order to take your property, is theft. It is a crime. Yet, given the fact that too many of the public, will ignore their sovereignty and would prefer to sit at home watching their favorite sport(s ... particularly the athletic team of their favorite universities that are federally-funded ... but these sporters voted Republican?! ...) then there is no significant objection to the abuses of power by The President and by Judges and by so many government agents.
Members of this very forum, Free Republic dot com, are often thrilled at the abuses of police powers by government agents. They are only inclined to object to some executive order written by their opponent, but if some “Republican” writes an executive order to steal from their neighbor, zzzz ... and back to the college football game.
To wit: there is no liberty where the recliners are warm.
More memes and no answers. How do they make jobs? In this modern world where even fastfood workers are on the brink of being postdated there’s no good answer. Even if somehow we simply stopped all importing (which is never going to happen) that’s probably not going to make many jobs. Manufacturing is a robot job now, not a people job. You can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
I’m happy with the service of my Black and Decker!
And the feds get oil and gas royalties.
And we decrease our dependance on the Middle East, hurting those nations funding terrorism via oil revenues, like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Unless, a Constitutional Amendment that anticipates such a move does it:
Fiscal Responsibility Amendment
Section I
The power of Congress to regulate the value of the dollar is hereby repealed.
Section II
The value of the Dollar shall be one fifteen-hundredth avoirdupois ounce of gold of which impurities do not exceed one part per thousand.
Section III
To guard against Congress using its authority over weights and measures to bypass Section I, the ounce in Section II is approximately 28.3495 grams (SI).
Section IV
The Secretary of the Treasury shall annually report the gold physically in its possession; this report shall be publicly available.
Section V
The power of the Congress to assume debt is hereby restricted: the congress shall assume no debt that shall cause the total obligations of the United States to exceed one hundred ten percent of the amount last reported by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Section VI
Any government agent, officer, judge, justice, employee, representative, or congressman causing gold to be confiscated from a private citizen shall be tried for theft and upon conviction shall:
a. be removed from office (and fired, if an employee),
b. forfeit all pension and retirement benefits,
c. pay all legal costs, and
d. restore to the bereaved twice the amount in controversy.
Section VII
The federal government shall assume no obligation lacking funding, neither shall it lay such obligation on any of the several States, any subdivision thereof, or any place under the jurisdiction of the United States. All unfunded liabilities heretofore assumed by the United States are void.
Section VIII
The federal government shall make all payments to its employees or the several states in physical gold. Misappropriation, malfeasance and/or misfeasance of funds shall be considered confiscation.
My first reaction was to look where you are located. Good wages are available to a below average student with a Chemical Engineering Degree in Houston.
Not from a Keystone XL pipeline moving Canadian Crude/Bitumen and a bit of private land Bakken Oil.
