So I keep my point, Biden is cool enough for me.Clovishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921327103613284595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806884.post-33181998792275065822014-10-06T13:56:32.930-07:002014-10-06T13:56:32.930-07:00Of course global competition, regulations - enviro...Of course global competition, regulations - environmental and others, and creative destruction had nothing to do with the loss of some types of jobs...

Not my problem.<br /><br />The jobs were driven offshore in the '80s. It did not have to happen; it was engineered by Reaganauts. First they were driven to the non-union South, to the widely-expressed satisfaction of the rightwingers. I well remember writing an editorial in The Business Record warning that the jobs would not stop in South Carolina but would end up in South Korea.<br /><br />I was right, of course. <br /><br />I completely agree with you about Reagan and his crony capitalists. The tax laws were changed -- to loud cheering by rightwingers -- to disadvantage workers and give even more control to capital.<br /><br />I predicted it would be a disaster and it was. <br /><br />I realize you live in a fantasy world, but even you must have heard out the export of US jobs prior to 2008.

But okay, one can forgive him for not knowing that Joplin is pretty small.<br /><br />It's more the general concept of how things work. The maximum number of people killed in all of recorded history by a single tornado or family of tornadoes is about 1,300. Only 42 have ever been recorded to have killed 100 or more people and over half of those have been in Bangladesh.<br /><br />This is because the effects of tornados are extremely localized. Even if a EF5 tornado cut a swath through Manhattan or Tokyo, it probably still wouldn't be able to kill anywhere near that many people.<br /><br />This should be obvious to anyone, including Biden.Brethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063508651955739056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5806884.post-1320662558792327912014-10-05T21:31:06.092-07:002014-10-05T21:31:06.092-07:00No. Fascists only took over with Obama.No. Fascists only took over with Obama.erphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09826044412670324694noreply@blogger.com
