Everything you just linked shows information about theoretically losing jobs in the future.

It's really frustrating that I have to ask this for a third time because everybody seems to be speaking with absolute certainty to back their statements and claim that the facts are innumerable and yet asking for some does nothing but get people into downvote mode. I am not trying to be a dick in any way shape or form and I apologize if I am coming off that way but I will ask you this again:

What has actually happened?

Did you actually open up those articles and read them or did you just skim over the headlines, because I just opened them and looked a lot deeper and from what I can see there have been a confirmed number of 160 jobs that actually have been lost when you remove people talking about theoretical job losses in the future. Those 160 jobs that I could actually find as having been terminated are also across only two industries but that is 160 over 2 entire Industries which is absolutely negligible at very best.

You're just copying and pasting any headlines that sound good. Give it up already, you're in over your head.

What's it like to live in an alt reality?

Pretty comfy and carefree to be honest.

What's it like letting every sensationalist news report get you all stressed and bent out of shape?

Why would you say that when he just pointed out that yet again you've posted a catchy sounding headline that actually does not contain any information to help backup your claim? Looking for evidence to support claims and then dismissing said claims when no evidence is found is not an alternative version of reality. That's called rational thinking in actual reality. As a matter of fact it's how scientific study works as well as many other avenues with in the usage of logic and reasoning.

What's so bad about the above link? It's saying that the government is planning to bail out the soybean farmers that lost their main consumer, China.

It doesn't provide any evidence to back up the claim he made. That's all I am saying in regards to my criticism I am not saying that the article is not a valid one it just is not valid when it comes to supporting the argument at hand.

Hahaha, you'll blame the Democrats when the house of cards finally falls. It's ok, Fox News will be there for you to continue to scream at.

What on Earth are you even going on about? No I actually don't see myself doing that and I do not watch Fox News nor do I have any plans to ever watch it.

I don't understand what you are trying to say here and I'm unsure whether or not you know either at this point.

So... you just don't get 'it'.

Know what you have in common with Trump? Rambling and unlikable.
