AIDs Skrillex happened in my hometown… The chick to his left is bangable
The first thing you should do is check your source.
Especially when it’s a “public service” media outlet that just got defunded by Orange Man.
Fyi, over 90% of media coverage of Trump is negative. And I’m assuming that includes “unbiased” sources.
Oh yeah, the Army is planning a 250th anniversary celebration. I’m sure that’s going to be conflated with a parade for Trump no matter what the truth is.
Dude, he grew up on the moon, went to church on the moon, and has many friends in the moon community!

I’ve never heard of that particular strain of AIDS but there’s no way but look at the chompers on her. Dear Lord, I wouldn’t let her blow me. She looks like she drools, but still… She could work as a sex change surgeon with only those things…
I like nerdy chicks

Hey look, it’s the same playbook in the USA being ran by European stooges.
Democrats want people to believe that opposing the Democratic Socialist idea of race-based social justice means you’re just like a National Socialist, who also believed in race based-social justice.
It is “far-right extremism” to support borders and sane immigration policies.
I think they banned Mein Kampf because they wanted to repackage the idea just a bit. In Germany it is basically inverted, with ethnic Germans as the out group, internationalism instead of nationalism, and even more comprehensive propaganda.
Germany is probably quite a bit less literate than they were 100 years ago, too.

Great. This is such an amazing vision for the future. #sarcasticasfuck
Automation will destroy those jobs almost as fast as they are created, but I still feel better about not relying on China for our manufacturing. UBI will have to happen at some point.

As far as jobs go, factory jobs tend to be alright. They grow demand for high school graduates and skilled professionals. Throw in a functioning OSHA and they are often much safer than, say, working in an upscale restaurant in Portland with dangerous people lurking outside.
Nah.
I had a ton of fun and made a good living doing that. It’s not for everyone though.
I don’t think some scrutiny is going to spell the end of OSHA as an organization or the idea of workplace safety.
The Democratic Socialist ideas implemented by Democrats definitely make everyone less safe, whether you’re a kid at school, a restaurant owner trying to run a restaurant, or a father taking his kid to the park or another public space where needles, intoxicated people, and abuse both physical and verbal are a constant hazard.
It turns out that turning the cities into open air drug markets isn’t that great for the business climate, unless your business is nonprofiteering off of public funds in the name of “harm reduction”.
Thats how the steel mills, mines, automotive, and quite a few other industry/careers were, and for the most part, still are. Like, you aren’t going to get in on them unless you have some family or very strong ties to someone already there.
There were quite a few companies during the heyday like Westinghouse and HJ Heinze that had some really nice workplace benefits.
Getting into the steel mills was one of the most desirable prospects for a high school graduate in NW Indiana during the 1990s.
A factory with hundreds of workers is typically a boon for surrounding restaurants, gas stations, liquor stores, and pot dispensaries as well.

I had an opportunity in 1978 to tour a mill near Lewistown, PA that manufactured railroad axles and wheels. It was a massive factory in Burnham. (I was there visiting the parents of the soon to be wife who competed with me in Mixed Pairs.) Her brother took me several times to a bar just down the road from the mill. Most of the conversation in the bar centered around the mill and work opportunities or layoff fears. Many employees and hopeful employees frequented that bar.
It still is.
My brother in law works at a company, mining related, that was in (might still be. 
) the top 10 for pay and benefits in the US.
They lay the pay & benefits on pretty thick. The guys work for it, but man, they get it.
I know 2 guys who maintain medical devices like dialysis machines. It seems like a pretty solid job with a future. I guess that’s not too far from being a robot-technician in a factory.

I went on no fewer than four field trips to the steel mills growing up. My favorite part was the slag pit.
My high school buddy’s dad worked at either Bethlehem or US Steel, I forget which, and he is now comfortably retired. I remember when a bunch of his dad’s mill buddies showed up to his graduation party, including about 50 members of the Outlaws MC. That was the wildest graduation party I’ve ever been to, and they let us drink as long as we camped out.
Gary, Indiana was built to house mill workers. When my mom was born in nearby Calumet City it was one of the nicest towns in the country.

Here’s some more of that unbiased reporting NPR has become so well-known for. I have listened to LOTS of NPR, but not for about 10 years or so. During the 2000’s they were by-far my most-listened to radio station. I even donated to them once.
The entire organization is corrupt and Trump is correct to defund it. It has strayed so far from it’s mission of being a public service to instead become America’s Pravda or Global Times, and America doesn’t need state-sponsored propaganda media. Let the listeners fund it or let it operate like commercial radio.
Emergency radio broadcast that can reach everyone in a crisis is still needed in my opinion, but that’s a whole different thing than NPR and PBS.
Good riddance.
