Assembling hamburgers is still assembly...mass assembly in the case of a fast food chain. So, it is manufacturing.

Common sense is maintaining consistent definitions. Why you would somehow intimate this isn't "common sense" is really without merit.

The change is a technical decision. Thus, maintaining consistency between government agencies and their classifications is common sense...even if it is the IRS

Let's cut the BS.

Jobs are going out of this country at an accelerating rate, spurred on by policies enacted by our government.

In an effort at damage control, minumum wage burger flipping jobs are reclassified as manufacturing, so when this becomes an issue in the next election, statistics can be cited that show things aren't so bad.

All of this is painfully obvious to everyone with an IQ above room temperature. Claiming this reclassification is done for any other reason but political damage control is an insult to the voters intelligence and reaffirms cynicism and distrust in government.
