knapplc Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Because keeping schools closed will get Biden elected. Just like not playing football. Do people even bother to think about how that would even work? How does keeping the schools closed make someone vote for Joe Biden? 1 Link to comment

Do people even bother to think about how that would even work? How does keeping the schools closed make someone vote for Joe Biden? My guess...a lot of parents are pissed that schools are closed. The longer they stay closed the more pissed they get. The more pissed they get the more they want to blame someone. So if they were on the fence about who they are voting for (I can't imagine many people are on the fence, I would think most people know who they are voting for by now), they might be more likely to vote for the person that isn't "pissing them off". I can't imagine it will impact much of the voting population, but there are some crazies out there. But just that fact that she/he, I can't remember who the person was that they quoted, said "schools will open after the election, errrr, sometime in November" is comical. Link to comment

Actually, yes. Everyone likes to key on Detroit as the horrible state of auto workers. Fact is, the industry had grown considerably in the US, but not in Detroit for many reasons. Link to comment

I remember reading a story somewhere about the actual working conditions in non-unionized auto plants in the South. It was appalling. Like safety protocol and oversight was so lax several people featured in the story had either been maimed or killed by machinery during malfunctions. Link to comment

Still quite a few scary accidents around here in Michigan though. People getting runnover/pinned by fork lifts, machines crushing people, pallets crushing people. Just had a discussion last month with some guys about a plant manager who had a "body count". Not necessarily his fault, but he'd had a few fatal accidents under his watch. You always have to have your head on a swivel in plants. People are moving heavy s#!t and they have to do it on time or shut a line down. Every minute a OEM plant is shut down is thousands of dollars, hours become millions of dollars. Link to comment

Industrial plants become much more automated over time so it's pretty much inconceivable that the USA has the same # of manufacturing jobs pre-NAFTA. 1 Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Republicans are just comically afraid of a Trump vs. Biden dichotomy this fall, so they're up to their usual dirty tricks. First they tried to get Kanye on the ballot in WI and failed to meet the deadline, so they got kicked off and will likely appeal. Now a GOP law firm is representing the Green Party candidate appeal to the state Supreme Court to get on it after they screwed up a requirement. It's almost like they're not confident in Trump's electoral landslide! Link to comment
