How is manufacturing going in the USA? The manufacturing sector HAS LOST JOBS EVERY SINGLE MONTH IN 2025 with payrolls falling by 8,000 in January 2026 alone.

It is funny because it is in a downtrend but eventually one month it will stop the shedding and might gain a few thousands and MAGA will claim victory.

Should there be voter ID? Absolutely, Iraq had more voter security 20 years ago than America does today. Do I think that you can federally enact it and withstand strict scrutiny? Probably not. The voter ID situation is literally a Dem exploit of the states ultimate right to run their own elections.

The writing should be on the wall for Dems that north of 80% of the population supports voter ID, so standing against it so vocally is both gay and sus. Like transitioning kids. If they continue making these 80-20 losing stances their bedrock platform, and if the illegals continue to be expelled and if the red states continue to get more electoral votes, the problem can be mostly sidestepped, and ultimately, reapproached with an amendment.

I asked gork what the average monthly loss in manufacturing jobs has been since 2000

Ahem

It’s 14,700

**The average monthly job loss in U.S. manufacturing since 2000 has been approximately 8,000 to 10,000 jobs per month**, depending on the exact endpoint and revisions (as data is seasonally adjusted and subject to annual benchmarking).

To arrive at this:

- **January 2000 level**: Manufacturing employment was around **17.3 million** (from BLS/FRED MANEMP series historical data and reports).
- **Recent level (December 2025)**: **12,692,000** (per latest BLS Employment Situation report).
- **Net job loss**: Roughly **4.6 million** jobs (17.3 million - 12.7 million, accounting for minor variations in exact monthly figures).
- **Time span**: From January 2000 to December 2025 is **312 months** (26 full years × 12 = 312).
- **Average monthly change**: Net loss of ~4.6 million ÷ 312 months ≈ **-14,700 jobs per month** over the full period if using peak-2000 figures, but this includes sharp declines (e.g., 2000–2010) offset by partial recoveries (post-2010 gains, then recent small losses).

More precise breakdowns from reliable sources:
- From 2000 to 2010/2014 (sharpest decline period): Losses of ~5–5.5 million jobs (e.g., ~5 million from Jan 2000 to Dec 2014 per EPI analysis), averaging **~30,000–40,000** monthly losses during that intense phase.
- From 2000 to ~2017/2019: ~5.5 million net loss (NBER/BLS analyses), over ~204–228 months → **~24,000–27,000** per month average.
- Overall since 2000 to late 2025: The net decline is moderated by post-Great Recession recovery (employment rose from ~11.5 million low in 2010 to ~12.9 million by ~2023–2024) and minor recent declines. Long-term average net monthly loss settles around **-8,000 to -10,000** jobs/month when factoring full recoveries and stagnation.

This long-term average reflects structural shifts (automation, trade/globalization, offshoring), not constant monthly losses—there were periods of stability/gains (e.g., mid-2010s) and sharp drops (2001 recession, Great Recession). The sector has not returned to pre-2000 levels despite output growth due to productivity increases.

For the exact series, see FRED MANEMP (All Employees, Manufacturing) or BLS CES data (series CES3000000001). The next update (January 2026 data) releases early February 2026 and may slightly revise recent figures.
 
Mfw the very last thing I do before my soul is scattered to the cosmic void is make people completely forget about black history month.

If you look online, you can see "misogyny" just means, "a woman didn't get what she wanted.""

May all their words be reduced to meaningless babble.

Yah small problem with that boss, the diluting of language cuts both ways. Because language isn't just how we communicate it's also a basis for our laws and governing procedures. In your example you pointed out how 'misogyny' has become a hollow term, used by slighted women for generally anything. To the individual that makes it less impactful but the law and rules still operate by the original definition and not the new social definition. So while a woman calling you a misogynist to your face today carries less weight that yesterday, her reporting every perceived slight to HR or to ethics groups still has just as much power as before because the rules were written and the processes for punishment were conceived under the more serious definition. This mucking of language, especially English, is going to have a reckoning. And it's going to, God willing, be exacted on the very people who sought to twist the concept of language into a political weapon.

this is not necessary reading to prove my point. It's just a thought experiment to show the importance of language in the construction of a society.

I want you to think of language as a foundation of stones that are stacked beneath society. When we think of these stones individually and analyze them we get individual words. So a single stone on its own is a defined word and like a defined shape it needs to be constant, so we'll think of these stones as 1' by 1' cubes. Each unique but defined and slightly similar to each other(words in a language are different but all are defined as words). Once the foundation(shared language) is built, that's what all of greater society it built upon. Our language and it's definitions are used to build our laws, governance structure, economic structure, social structure. When people start to stretch or redefine words to suit their own agendas, they are directly attacking the foundation of everything we have built. If you hollow out a word, you are in theory, hollowing out one of the blocks that makes up our society and weakening the foundation of everything we have built. Do this enough times and the foundation will not be strong enough to even define itself and everything built under its framing of language collapses. So while it's cute to taunt people who water down language to meaninglessness, it's a very dangerous practice if it becomes too common. I suggest people take this topic more seriously, mass literacy was a mistake as it seems. Instead of using the gift of literacy to further learn about the world around them, the common nigger simply sees it as another tool of coercion. Nothing but another means to an end. Sad

It doesn't matter if 80% of the population disagrees with them if they can print one trillion ballots and win anyway. Either we pass the SAVE act (we won't) or we will never win a single election ever again.

Kirk was infinitely more relevant than those. He was the #1 youth organizer and #1 fundraiser and #1 tard wrangler of the republican party. The man had immense amount of power in the party. The tranny lover might have killed him because he went against the grain at the college debates but by extension he nearly crippled the GOP's party apparatus.
