    This is also why they gleefully shipped all the manufacturing jobs/skills and tech to other countries (mostly China).

    They’re unbelievably giddy you think China did something wrong in accepting all this work and then building a country that is lifting more and more of its billion+ people out of poverty.

    No, China did what we should have done and should have been doing the whole time; but we did the opposite and you blamed the Chinese instead of the wealthy industrialists who sent the jobs there. You wept and cried over China’s one-party offering no freedom “like we have here” except here they took away our protections, our rights, and gave all the military spending money to defense contractors who designed more and more outrageously complex systems that take forever to build, cost more than a billion dollars each, and then apparently can just be taken out.

    We’re not safe anymore, we’re not rich anymore, we’re not asked for help anymore, we’re not smart anymore, we’re not comfortable anymore, we’re all struggling to make ends meet even if we have good income, all the water is dirty, all the roads are failing…but at least we still got football and Jesus right?

    Everything is Nazis and gambling now.
