Doorbell ditching is another relative amenity of the internet. It will never go out of style.
Posters who avoid giving their own take show becoming guile. One runs the risk of looking ignorant or silly by having something determinate to say.
there can never be enough. mindless trolling is one of the things the internet is the best for.

Yeah. This forum is in its death throes, IMO. People leave, and are not replaced. Those that remain look to phone it in, sometimes myself included. Dunno. Maybe time to find an alternative.
It's all laid out in this thread by some guy called Winehole23

Posters who completely change their positions based on which team is in power shouldn't complain that other posters don't put any effort into having discussions with them.
Pretty much describes conservatives under Trump, sorry.
What a cop out, and an easy excuse for laziness.
Everyone is to blame but yourself, per par. Sorry, not buying the lie. You are just too lazy.
smh
It doesn't get lazier than this RG...

What an emo post
GloryHole and RandomGay flexing their CNN talking points.
"Trump is living in the past!"
What an emo post
right? it's been this way for a decade now or a bit longer. after 2005 it died down around here immensely.What an emo post
Yawn. Laaaaaazzzeeeeeeee.
Don't strain yourself.
That was laid out by Pat Buchanan. It barely resembles what Trump is doing now.
How is laying tariffs on the EU and Canada consistent with Pat Buchanan's article of ten years ago and my defense of it?
FWIW, I still believe this:
De-industrialization has been a for regular Americans, and not just for pampered union workers. Measured by real wages, our fortunes have been going sideways for awhile. Now they're going down.
Where's the theoretical tide that floats all boats? The growth of the last 30 years was a mirage based on unsustainable debt, not real value and productivity.
I just don't think DJT's tariffs are a serious solution to it. Or even the beginning of a serious solution.
It's emo bull pulled from DJT's muddle-headed recollection of the economic situation 20-30 years ago.
I also still believe this:
fighting for US trade interests and a decent standard of living, even for un-degreed Americans. The idea that only college graduates deserve to reap the fruits of prosperity strikes me as -- dare I say it? -- elitist and wrongheaded.
still believe this:
I don't think our fortunes should be blindly placed at the altar of progress; still less do I accept that de-industrialization is a historical inevitability, and still less an absolute necessity.
Wasn't industrialism the basis of our power and prosperity in the 20th century?
What will replace it, given the poor state of American education, our crushing debt and the increasing instability of the USD, i.e., our purchasing power and standard of living?
Our future prosperity has already been pawned to bail out insolvent banks and unfunded liabilities, and the true depth of wealth destruction in the current recession has yet to fully sink in. On what basis will the purchasing power of the American consumer be revived?
That strikes me as the more pertinent question. Upon what real stores of value will we rebuild our failed economy? More financialized bs will only sink us deeper when the debt bubble pops again, because there was not enough real productive value (i.e., stuff that people want to buy from us) underneath it. Again.
I just don't think trying to revive economically less viable industries like coal, steel and aluminum is the way to do it.
our past is not the future

So no, SnakeBoy, it's a ing joke to say that DJT has a coherent industrial policy because I laid out something resembling one in SpursTalk ten years ago.
