UAW makes history with pivotal win at auto plant in South

I have lots of comments, but I'll start with one:

We can't talk about industrial policy without talking about trade policy or political economy in general. There's political momentum here in favor of reindustrialization. Both MAGA and Build Back Better mean that people are awake to the fact that neoliberalism was a 40-50 yearlong date rape of our comatose middle class. No drug is perfect, and some victims remained awake during the entire ordeal.

P.S. While MAGA is a hoax, Build Back Better is real. Vehicles from Mexico or China are things of the past

BBB is real all right it’s keeping a lot of people really broke and a lot of business are really shutting their doors.

One can say it’s a socialist dream as it moves the money from the bottom to the top while making everybody else equally broke.

And Democrats are pessimistic about the bill’s hopes. An anonymous survey among senior Capitol Hill aides by PunchBowl News, a political news outlet, found that 84% of senior Democratic aides believed the BBB passed by the House was dead. Most agreed that breaking it up into “chunks” would be the best path forward.

Funny thing about the history behind social experiments,they always leave the lower classes further down in the gutter,but maybe that is the intent,to keep them there so you can save them later when the next election rolls around .

Economists, business leaders, Clinton and most Republicans dismissed Perot’s worries as overblown. Despite the fact that most had never read the agreement, they argued free trade would create jobs, period. Over the objections of Perot, most Democrats in the House and other critics like me – NAFTA was ratified and went into effect on Jan. 1, 1994.
