Yes they do. They fill them with server farms and massive data analysis computers, and use them to spy on people who were young men when the large buildings were factories.

I am looking and can vouch first-hand for how bad it is out there.
China has lots of jobs, which used to be American.
Now they’re not.
China now sells 300 trillion more to America, than America sells to China.
300 trillion a year.
In Dave Stockman’s book, he shows calculation that the number of “breadwinner” jobs (his terminology) peaked in 98, and has been going down ever since.
When I was a young man, they built large buildings, filled them with machines, and called them factories.
When I was middle age, they built large buildings, filled them with stuff made in China, and called them warehouses.
Now that I’m old, the don’t build large buildings.
There has been no recovery. We are in a DEPRESSION, and have been since about the time the TARP program was rolled out. Had that atrocity never been introduced, we would have recovered, with absolutely no “help” from the Federal government, by 2010, and been well on our way to the kind of prosperity we enjoyed under Eisenhower and later Reagan.
But NOOOOO. The “experts” who knew so much more than any of the rest of us (and most of what they knew was just dead wrong) got the votes to ram through Congress and into the ever-growing stack of contradictory and self-serving regulation we have come to know and love, with the Current Regime now squatting in the White Hut.
“Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it’s done
Brother, can you spare a dime?”
Even if they wanted to, it would take too long to get the necessary permits.
Anyone with half a brain knows they are re-categorizing what a “job” is now to skew the numbers. Let’s do a “real” report about “gainful” employment that you can support a family on, not these fast food after school or temp jobs.
> If the President was truly concerned about the economy, he would immediately halt the onslaught of Obamacare and start working on pro-growth policies of tax and budget reform and sensible energy policies such as construction of the Keystone pipeline. Sadly, the President is still committed to pro government, anti-growth positions that exacerbated these problems in the first place.
Bingo to ^ and what you said. This is the beginning of the second Great Depression brought on br The One himself and intentionally I believe.
If absolutely nothing was different other than Romney being president instead of this puke, we’d be hearing about nothing but recession, depression, worst economy in 50 years, etc. etc. from the mediawhores 24/7
Billion, not trillion. Still horrible.
When I was a young man, they built large buildings, filled them with machines, and called them factories.
When I was middle age, they built large buildings, filled them with stuff made in China, and called them warehouses.
Now that I’m old, the don’t build large buildings.
Correction:
Now that I’m old, they build larg buildings and fill them with technology to spy on Americans.
“Welcome to Jobless America”
And a large part of the electorate, along with the Progressives who manipulate them, absolutely love it.
IMHO
I’m 60. Have knee problems. Theoretically I’m employed doing real estate, but that is a bust.
The only way I’m going to make it the next 25 years of life is to create my own job(s). I’m well on my way to doing that, but I’ve been doing startups my whole life and have a clue what to do. Many people are just going to be left on the cutting room floor.
Yes they do. They fill them with server farms and massive data analysis computers, and use them to spy on people who were young men when the large buildings were factories.

Our company has a nice young man from North Carolina here tending to our CNC machine. He’s been out of work for awhile and gets the odd gig hooking up used equipment at new locations.
Such a nice accent. I haven’t ventured a conversation about politics yet, but I know he’s not too keen on unions. I may just drop Rush’s name and see if his face lights up or turns red with anger....maybe I’ll wait til our machine is working.
Nothing that MADE IN USA won’t solve. About everything you buy is made somewhere else. Bring the jobs home.
I'm not in the "favorable age" group and have been out of work since the end of September 2012....I have had two, count 'em two interviews....one person told me in no uncertain terms that I was too old for the job then tried to back track when I pointed out age discrimination. The other interview went just the same only the person didn't actually say the words "you're too old".......secondly, there are very few jobs out there and the job I lost in 2012 is now paying about $4 less an hour than what I was making at the time and there's a lot more responsibility now.
