on CNBC, but said by the fucking Secretary of Commerce. Or do you think the trump-appointed SoC takes his talking points from CNBC writers? 🤦♂️
It's one thing to doubt statements made by the news organisation about the administration, but to doubt statements made by the administration and its members, just because they happen to have been made while on a news show, is fucking dumb.
There is a huge difference between "CNBC says X", and "The Secretary of Commerce, while on CNBC, said X"
This is not a statement of CNBC that we're discussing. It's a statement of the SoC.
Again, this isn't CNBC saying it. Here's a direct quote of words from Howard Lutnick's mouth, on camera!
"You're going to see robotic production of iPhones and the jobs that are going to be created"
He thinks robotic automated production is going to create enough jobs. Even though those robots themselves are able to be produced mostly in largely-automated factories.
Manufacturing is good at creating jobs overseas because labour is cheap, lives are cheap - cheaper than robots.
In America, labour is expensive, because there are actually some measure of labour standards. Robots are cheaper and less of a hassle for factory owners. And do not create as many jobs as manual manufacturing.
He said there will be "millions and millions" of jobs maintaining manufacturing robots. Idiotic 😂

So you believe that news? Just like any other idiot, doesn’t matter if it’s Fox or CNBC
