Has anyone else noticed a slew of journoschlock articles saying Americans don't want factory and manufacturing jobs? I don't know about you but I think any young American being able to see the higher than retail wages regardless of if they didn't win big on the college education gamble and don't have a job to match the degree or if they decided to not fall for the college debt trap. Regardless it reeks of consensus manufacturing to say Americans don't want "dirty" industrial jobs
Just like how they say Americans don't want to work farm jobs, or construction jobs, or home repair jobs. No, Americans just don't want to work any job that doesn't pay slave labor wages. This is just another case of "If all the slaves are gone who will clean toilets". I work a manufacturing job and make 40$ an hour, it's the only reason I stay. It's fucking gross and my body is dying but I stay because I want to have money that isn't cashier wages. Laptop caste really is a correct term.
 
The laptop caste doesn't want those jobs therefore nobody does.
Nobody wants to work but you have to

It's the lie that closed down all those workplaces in the first place to offshore to China and they've been using that same lie recently to justify outsourcing all the white collar jobs to pajeets.
The national median wage is $25/hour and the manufacturing median wage is $24/hour.

Retail median wage is $16/hour.

Somehow, the perception is that factory work is below low class
 
IIRC, someone upthread said that Garcia is part of some "pro-immigrant" NGO. If that's true, then he was basically an employee of the Biden admin. Which answers this question:

Other than the 2019 order to deport him anywhere but El Salvador, is there anything else note worthy about him that would make him a leftist darling?
 
500,000 people attended Woodstock. A couple hundred thousand marched for Civil Rights. Only a few thousand Boomers were at Kent State.

If you are Gen-X, you have met and been lectured about "Murica bad, mmmmmmmmmmmmmkaaaaaaaaay" by EVERY FUCKING SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

Most Boomers didn't do shit until it came time to tell their kids how they marched right next to MLK, went to Woodstock, and were at Kent State when it all went down, which is why they stood next to Jane Fonda and Kerry in order to protest Vietnam. THEY STOPPED VIETNAM!!!!!

Fuck. You think you hate them enough...

...you fucking don't.
Remember a good chunk of this is because the Antifa/BLM equivalent in the 70s fled into Academia after setting off several THOUSAND bombs a year in a domestic terrorism campaign designed to signal the start of a marxist revolution. The FBI bitched out back then because no one wanted to be the one that cost Senator Goldstein his reelection bid becuase his retarded commie daughter was caught up with a bunch of idiots playing revolutionary, and besides what trouble can the dumb bitch cause becoming a middle school teacher?

I genuinely hope that you never lose a colleague or a loved one to an unprovoked Islamic terrorist attack but, if you do, you will understand why this point is fucking stupid. Muslims want to kill you. That's all I have to say about the subject.
Muslim extremists want to kill you with bombs and guns and cars
Muslim moderates want to kill you with Muslim extremists

This isn't a snarky take, it's literally what the polling shows. The "moderates" still think you should die and are fair game to kill in the eternal holy war of their iron age death cult, but they don't want to do it themselves.
 
This is already happening.
SCOTUS never ordered Kilamr's return.
What exactly happens if the Supreme Court orders Trump to return the guy and El Salvador just says no as they almost certainly will?
The precious, sacred 'legitimacy' of SCOTUS which John Roberts treasures over the Constitution will be shredded even further.

Laptop caste is the petit nobility of the Washington Empire.

I am sorry for your loss, truly. But it is you who is blinded by his quest to hate Muslims here, otherwise you would have realized by now that both me and Chop Top also hate Muslims. That doesn't put me on the side of Israel.
 
There was a whistleblower leak, with somebody from within the government coming forwards with detailing how the activity of DOGE has led to a significant cybersecurity leak. I have the full pdf file attached to this post, but needless to say... if these findings are true... the implications are terrifying. Let me give a quick abridged description of the document.

For one, when members of DOGE were creating user accounts in NLRB (National Labor Relations Board) systems, there were multiple occasions of actors from Russia attempting to log into these accounts, using valid credentials (usernames, passwords, stuff like that). The login attempts in question were made mere minutes after the DOGE staff had created the accounts, suggesting a severe security breach, one or some of the DOGE staff being a rat/s, or Musk's whole organization collaborating with the Russian government.

On top of that, the data DOGE exfiltrates from government organizations is done so towards unknown servers. So for all we know, confidential government data might've been directly sent out to US adversaries.

Another thing of note, while the team were preparing the pdf file for whistleblowing, someone had taped a threatening note one of the team's member's house door, with photographs, taken with a drone of them walking in their neighborhood. Indicating proof that there are actors wanting to keep this data breach discreet. For what reason or who is responsible, we do not know.

To get full detailed account of the events, I recommend reading the document in full. The implications of such high level security getting breached and the data possibly maliciously being exfiltrated abroad more or less means that nobody's data is safe, as DOGE would have access to all the data gathered on civilians by state organizations, from state hospitals to secret intelligence agencies. There is absolutely nothing you can do to salvage your data if you are an American, except pray that DOGE hasn't managed to check up on everything, or hope that Elon Musk and his lackies were competent enough to be beyond this from happening. Yeah I know, very highly optimistic outcome

I say you should just prepare the rope right now. HANG THAT NIGGA NOW.

They had some poll showing that "only" 25% of US citizens would prefer to take a manufacturing job over their current work. I'm pretty sure we don't need the majority of the population working in factories in order to meet our needs..

Considering that they're complaining about "sensitive data from the NLRB", it's probably just some bureaucrat mad that DOGE made a copy of their data.

The NLRB is an extremely corrupt agency that does nothing except bully companies who dare to fight back against unions. They don't possess any sensitive information, though they probably have plenty of documents detailing their corruption.
 
I wish Hey Johnny Bravo would stop embarrassing themselves so often. They have a bad habit of doing this thing where they're blatantly overreacting and they just keep digging.
And you have a bad habit of only bringing me up in this thread when I call out Muslims for being the savages that they are.
 
Johnny, you are proving my point.

 
Well, we are heading to SCOTUS at a breakneck speed, as the 4th Circuit decided to go entirely off the rails in their latest filing. They denied Trump's motion to stay proceedings pending appeal, and said some truly insane shit.
This is why I am being so specific of the facts.
They are definitely off the rails, but one point is not clear to me - what is he entitled to in regard to being determined MS-13? Because of all the things you pointed out as outrageous or wrong, the only thing that is correct in that filing is that his affiliation with MS-13 did not come from an actual "due process". But idk if it is required, because...required for what? He came in illegally, so he can be deported anyway.

I am not too afraid of how SCOTUS will react, if their former intervention is any indication -
The intended scope of the term “effectuate” in the District Court’s order is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court’s authority. The District Court should clarify its directive,with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs.


One question, what do you mean by this:
First, one attorney (since fired for incompetence) in an initial oral proceeding, does not the position of the government make.
I am taking the "mistaken deportation" from here https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69777799/11/3/abrego-garcia-v-noem/
And I think that is what the filing is referencing.

Is there any possible fallout for the wife? Could this be perjury?

idk how accurate this is.
very low chance of being anything. Elon Musk is not a Russian Agent, if anything he would be a CHINESE or INDIAN agent. Taping a photo to someone's door is also such a silly thing to do, and also 1. wouldn't deter the whistleblower and 2. create evidence of intimidation, making blowing the whistle even more effective. This sounds like a larp.
And you have a bad habit of only bringing me up in this thread when I call out Muslims for being the savages that they are.
Take that fucking nap my dude.
