Lies about Joe Biden

[RVonse]

Less globalism means the US bringing back to the US (mostly from China) high value manufacturing jobs, reducing income equality and strengthening the middle class.

Didn't happen under Trump. Trump's trade war with China cost jobs and hurt the middle class. Also not a policy, just a dick wave.

Less neoliberalism means less US involvement with military intervention throughout the world (also always at middle class expense), reducing CIA government overthrows for the purpose of helping overseas corporations

Also didn't happen under Trump. Ask Soleimani or anyone currently living in Yemen. He did block military pay raises though but insisted on pork barrel spending on projects like the F-35 and "The super duper missile". So yeah. Trump did keep that nice military industrial complex chugging along. That you fell for his bullshit doesn't change that.
A piece of advice RVonse; what people do is more important than what they say.

Basically the middle class was sick of all the aforementioned and spoke at the voting booths when they elected Trump.

Doesn't change the fact Trump did fuck all to address these grievances or have any particular policy. Case in point everything you described Trump as doing was nothing more than rhetorical horseshit.

But his rhetorical horseshit was the horseshit that connected with half of the population. Because his rhetorical horseshit was horseshit that smelled different than the republican or democrat horseshit that clearly was not working for the middle class.

That it accomplished the exact opposite doesn't register with you, does it? Talk about style over substance.

Nitpick: I think "neoconservativism" is the word you're looking for where I've reddened. (Yes, all the ill-defined jargon gets confusing, especially with "neos" thrown in here and there.)

High value manufacturing jobs?!

What went to China is low value jobs! The high value stuff is still here, or else is being done by robots. The robots have taken far more jobs than China.

All manufacturing jobs are high value added. Simply because manufacturers take a low value raw material and adds the high value (profit) of production to make something useful. With high value added manufacturing it is at least economically possible to pay high wages. And in Germany where labor unions still have power, high wages are paid for this labor.

And the robots have not taken more jobs than China. It is the Triffin Delemma coupled with good old fashioned political corruption that has taken more jobs to China. The reserve currency paradox has all but killed exports out of the US.

How The Triffin Dilemma Affects Currencies

Countries that issue reserve currencies are faced with a dilemma: keep other countries happy or achieve domestic monetary policy goals.

Automation, computers, and robots have taken away a lot of jobs. As many as China? Maybe, maybe not.

Trump accomplished nothing for the middle class and is still popular amongst his supporters, which implies his support has nothing to do with economic policy, but isolationist nationalistic bullshit.

The start of the end of globalism, neoliberalism, and liberal empiralism.

Sure. Whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean.

Less globalism means the US bringing back to the US (mostly from China) high value manufacturing jobs, reducing income equality and strengthening the middle class. Less neoliberalism means less US involvement with military intervention throughout the world (also always at middle class expense), reducing CIA government overthrows for the purpose of helping overseas corporations. Less liberal imperialism means less US sanctions, monetary manipulations, and financial engineering on the rest of the world (also at middle class tax payer expense).

Basically the middle class was sick of all the aforementioned and spoke at the voting booths when they elected Trump.

High value manufacturing jobs?!

What went to China is low value jobs! The high value stuff is still here, or else is being done by robots. The robots have taken far more jobs than China.

All manufacturing jobs are high value added. Simply because manufacturers take a low value raw material and adds the high value (profit) of production to make something useful. With high value added manufacturing it is at least economically possible to pay high wages. And in Germany where labor unions still have power, high wages are paid for this labor.

Value comes from both workers and machinery. The value of the workers is based on skill. Jobs which demand a lot of skill generally pay well, jobs that don't rarely pay well. The high skill stuff is mostly still here.

Fundamentally, on a sufficiently large scale of a sufficiently specific operation it's always cheaper to have robots do a job, the only question being whether any particular task happens at a scale large enough to reach this point. There's also a substantial midrange where part of the job meets this threshold but it varies around the edges--in these jobs you will have humans dealing with the variable parts of the job and robots dealing with the repetitive parts. Finally, you have the jobs that are sufficiently variable that robots play little role. (For example, basically anything creative. You're doing something different every time.)

As technology advances the robots become cheaper and more flexible, the tasks they can do increase. Note that all manufacturing jobs are repetitive in nature, prime grounds for robots to take jobs. I'm thinking of my former employer--over the course of 20 years I watched the output per factory worker go up severalfold--and many of the jobs were becoming more a matter of assisting the robot. (For example, instead of cutting up the wood the operator would pick up the wood, mark any defects and put it on the intake of the machine. The machine would compute it's own cuts and sort the output into product and waste.)
