U.S. Secretary of Commerce: "The ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids."

yes you have.
freedom cities.

Musk gets his Texas wish. SpaceX launch site is approved as the new city of Starbase

A vote Saturday to formally organize Starbase as a city was approved by a small group of Texas voters who live there and are mostly Musk’s employees.

the corporation reaches its final form.
as the millennial successor to the antebellum plantation system and the old world manorial (feudal) system.

It sounds good on paper but it’s fukking delulu as all fukk in reality. Project 2025 was always ideology and ignorance (aka racism, sexism, homphobia, etc)

Global warming is going to happen

Automation is real

it’s been less than 100 days and they have fukked up the economy and the politicians who was suppose to keep the masses docile are hiding out in DC.

Stagflation is already occurring. Like we’re in stagflation, and a tariff war, and everytime you look at Trump on TV he looks older because he is older.

What happens when the piedpiper of spitefulness dies or is no longer in office and all those angry motherfukkers realize they have nothing but there guns and you can’t blame it on the democrats cause they gave you the spotlight alone while this stupid shyt is happening?

These people aren’t smart, they sniff their own farts, and got rich because Obama invested in tech thinking they wouldn’t evolve into the petty robber barons they currently are. They are ripe for regulation and congressional hearings if not worse.

Elon was suppose to be the guy who came in and was looked up to, and he had to fall back because his company started to fail due to him playing politics.

This is a rug pull. They're promising nice factory jobs so they can gut social security and then to the extent that you do see those factories built up. It's going to be mostly automated, unionizing will be illegal, and you'll have to work for peanuts and die when you're no longer useful to them. Aka how things were 100+ years ago.

If they had their way, they'd have you working 12hrs a day, 6 days a week, and giving you zero vacation and no retirement because "that's not my problem if you can't save for retirement". These people are mentally ill and spiritually diseased. It doesn't matter how many millions or billions of dollars they have. They will never feel like it's enough.

I'm all in favor of a return to the marginal tax rate we had 70 years ago. If 5-10 million a year isn't enough for you as a multimillionaire to feel financially secure, and this feeling is so strong that you want to poison the media and political system to convince voters that you are being taxed too much, you need to either see a doctor and have your mental illness treated or kill yourself.

We should laminate the bolded because its facts.

The US peaked somewhere after the 2008 Financial Bubble just as Barrack assumed office and started its decline towards the end of Trump's first Presidency. The economies have been geared towards the amassing of wealth for the billionaire class at the detriment of the US middle class since then. Bernie Sander's was America's hope at the growth of the middle class and redistribution of wealth. The billionaire class has amassed so much political power now that they are basically the de facto government of the US.

You are looking at some sort of technocratic/oligarchical hybrid government and the political power of the marginalized on the national landscape has been reduced to almost nothing. Even the sitting President is a billionaire who has threatened to break the Constitution and run for a 3rd term in office and no one seems to take it seriously.

As I have said numerous times, unfortunately it is black people that will end up suffering the most. The crusade against DEI was already a play to remove black people from authoritative positions both politically and economically. They are pushing for a quasi-Jim Crow state over the next 20 years where you will only find black people in service jobs. Wealth and tangible assets are the only thing that will prevent families from being forced into factory and service jobs for generations as they literally suggested in this article. The migrant labor will eventually be replaced by "ethnic minority" labor. Asians however will be the one group exempt from this as they practice group economics and can operate outside of the traditional economy. They are also highly technical compared to other groups. They also have the added benefit of doing business with their countries of origin as a lot of the global wealth is now shifting to Asia.

Africa is probably in the strongest position it's ever been in. Trump's presidency has actually been a positive development for Africa because the US is not meddling in Africa's political affairs as much as it used to. The main focus is DRC now because they have the vast majority of the resources that will power majority of the Western nations moving forward. That is why guys like Ibrahim Traore are such a threat. BF has basically broken free from Western hegemony and imperialism. Niger and Mali have also kicked out the French and are starting to see growth. The next step would be pan-African trade (which is what they have been trying to stop for decades), which will create levels of wealth from trade that has never been seen before globally. Think 54 countries with a billion mobile people on a continent that has the vast majority of natural and mineral resources in the world, not to mention 65% of its arable land.

Hopefully the increasing isolationism in the West forces more of our people (and I'm including all people of an African descent) to start looking back home and reversing the brain drain that has been happening on the continent for decades, because the continent needs great minds and good leadership. I set up roots in a country that's not even my country of origin and the potential for wealth building is simply astronomical. I just came back from Europe and I can literally say I am enjoying a better standard and quality of life than 99% of the people living there and these are facts.

Pan-African trade, mobilization of human resource, infrastructure and technical development would cause huge growth. Moving towards a unitary currency would then be the thing that makes the continent EXPLODE economically.

Errrrrrrehhh I see alotta deaths coming. Don't know how, but right now there's like 400 mill in this country. Let's say half of that need jobs. What will we produce that can employ 100 million people???

The writing on the wall tells me that whatever direction we go...alotta people have to die, be slaves, or live in poverty.

Unless there's some huge technological breakthrough coming, we are in trouble.

Basically. He's talking like time is going to stand still or move at a reduced rate for people that are being forced out of their careers. This administration would rather have the impoverished essentially "go away". If that means death because of lack of access to medication, violence or plain old suicide, so be it.

that's okay, children will be working in the factories


A CDL is a death sentence and will be automated sooner than later

Look up how factory jobs were wrecked in this country and you'll see why this is BS unless you change the whole system to the left.

 

[HabitualChiller]

You see it too.

Most of them jobs leave damaging results to the physical form.

Like why in the hell would a person with credentials work as a line worker?

Why the fukk would somebody that's damn near broken as it is, work 14 hours for billionaire cacs to chew and spit them out?

Plus the wages are not even explained. So let's say the factory gigs pop out like the 50s, and the pay wage is like 15 tops. Then you got to factor in the expenses, living conditions, family woes, and so forth.

The difference between the 50s and now is that the country was going into a boom period, while this country going into the fukking shythouse.

Tired of these old geezer fukks with this train of thought wanting people to take these cogwheel gigs and have the Pikachu face when those exact same cogs run strikes and so forths because of inhumane conditions.

My guess is that they'll introduce a cryptocurrency that will replace the dollar [once it crashes].... or, when multiple company towns come into effect, each town will have its own cryptocoin.

That's the only thing that makes even a modicum of sense to me.

Company Towns have never worked in the long run, so.... idk what the fúck they think will change. Additionally, where the fúck are these industries?

 

[HabitualChiller]

I will say now that this narrative of bringing jobs back to the country, I need people getting the word out that the trump admin needs to put out a legit infrastructure bill

Ironically I haven’t heard anyone who’ve been attacking them so far even mention that, you would think people using tv time to do performative shyt would get the word out of a potential infrastructure bill to call they bluff about American jobs cause that’s what’s going to make it work, that simultaneously provides work for trades, factories, and tech

Infrastructure bill?

From a Republican-led Congress??!

it's not your guess, it's what's been written about for a long time now.

alotta you don't seem to understand the way the world is going and think this is all "trump." huey p. and the panthers were talking about automation, and asking what would happen to the worker back then. cashless societies, increased surveillance, a return to the days of the "robber barons," except this time it'll be a technocracy. much more efficient.

the power base is heading back to the east, which is where it has been historically. most of the world's population is in the east. if you're global finance looking for maximum profits, if you're an industrialist looking for a labor force and the consumers to go with it, naturally you'd look to the east.

the west will be the new worker bees, working blue collar jobs and living in factory towns in the new little houses that are being built everywhere.

will a factory job pay me more than the 45/Hr I get?
