Date: April 5th, 2025 7:51 PM Author: costumed geriatric sandwich tanning salon i grew up in a declining factory town, now dead, and most of the children of those workers are zombie-like drug addicts. working a factory job is a better alternative to that. and here we have workplace safety standards, and it's far more moral to ensure laborers are paid a living wage and conditions are safe than shipping it overseas to be done by an impoverished person at far greater risk of injury.
it's fortunate you and i were blessed with the ability to to get white collar jobs and live better lives than our blue collar parents. but what about the people that can't? and how many of the gifted children of impoverished fent addicts will go onto do what we did compared to gifted children of factory workers with stable jobs and income? |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 7:52 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor I grew up like this, but in a rust belt town that declined but didn't totally disappear. If I had become a drug addict, it would've been nobody's fault but my own. There are jobs out there. Maybe not in the same town but it's ok to move on. There have always been towns in america that disappeared or declined after losing their economic purpose. Being American has always been about moving on to the next frontier.
People don't become degenerate drug addicts from a lack of opportunity, they do it because of cultural nihilism and hedonism. This is like blaming the existence of homeless bums in cities on lack of govt programs like libs do. No, they are homeless because they are basketball-american junkies with low impulse control. What the fuck happened to personal responsibility in this country? |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 8:00 PM Author: costumed geriatric sandwich tanning salon many turn to drugs because of despair. economics play a huge part in that. we've seen this happen plenty of times throughout history.
do you really not think economic conditions play a part? your only explanation for trends and generational outcomes is that, for some reason, sometimes people just don't bootstrap hard enough? i'm not dismissing personal responsibility, but everyone has a limit to how much they can overcome despair with willpower.
when conditions are bad more people will succumb to addiction and crime. that's an undeniable fact. even if you're not sympathetic to these people, addressing bad conditions will lead to less of it, which also means you don't have to drive path roving fent zombies when you visit home. |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 8:16 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor Go to cities like Portland and Seattle and you'll see plenty of white trash opiate addicts. And those cities are booming with jobs, especially Seattle (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5705940&forum_id=2],#48819449) |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 8:27 PM Author: costumed geriatric sandwich tanning salon great we've established addicts will exist even in good conditions. we can also agree that crime will exist in good conditions. how is that responsive to the fact that economic conditions undeniably play a role in how frequently these things occur?
anyway i see you're the pumo that cited a chart about increasing income disparity because you didn't understand what it was and thought in was good evidence workers are better off today than in 2025, so i know you're just a retard that won't engage in this in good faith. do me a favor and go sudo so i can avoid engaging you in the future, or don't engage with me if i reply as i can't keep all you retarded pumos memorized. thank. |

Date: April 5th, 2025 8:28 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor Nothing about growing up in a blue collar household or in a shithole town with crumbling mills (the textile plants left for the South a lot earlier than the steel plants closed) pushed me to become a junkie. I don't get it. Just because poor people are more likely to be addicts doesn't mean the poverty causes the addiction. It's HBD/genetics that underlies both. People with genetically poor impulse control tend to become junkies, and separately they also tend to be unemployed. Cultural conditions have increased the share of people who choose to become junkies...there is no religion or community shame anymore. Again, look at urban blacks living in the shadow of the greatest job centers in the country. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5705940&forum_id=2],#48819481) |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 8:46 PM Author: costumed geriatric sandwich tanning salon you don't get it because you have black and white thinking and insist on this being monocausal despite recognizing that more poverty = more crime and addiction. no one is denying that the individual plays a huge role too. in fact i explicitly acknowledged that when i said that even with perfect conditions it wouldn't be eradicated.
but recognizing that human nature exists doesn't address the issue. it's a completely nonresponsive. you might as well dismiss medical treatment with "yeah but we're mortal." |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 8:48 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor You think throwing money at problems like this fixes them. It's been shown time and time again in urban areas that addicts will be addicts and criminals will be criminals no matter how much money is thrown at them. All the shitlib programs and all the shitlib spending on urban pubic schools has gone down the toilet. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5705940&forum_id=2],#48819532) |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 9:00 PM Author: costumed geriatric sandwich tanning salon who said anything about shitlib programs? we're talking about policy that keeps jobs here so that people can work to earn a living and provide for their own welfare.
in your post below (why the fuck do you reply to the same poast multiple times?) you talk about how manufacturing jobs would return to the south, not your hometown. no shit! companies go where the conditions are best for their business. laws are necessary so that conditions are created in a way that ensure people have decent quality of life and opportunity while balancing the needs of industry and commerce. more jobs = higher value of labor = better quality of life = fewer fent zombies stabbing people. |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 9:10 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor There already are jobs for people who are willing move away from these decaying towns. I thought your whole premise was that we needed to keep these specific towns from dying so that the townies who refuse to move to where there's jobs don't magically turn into addicts from lack of jobs. We don't need tariffs to create jobs at a national level, there are plenty, just not in these faded obsolete towns.
i also find it interesting you acknowledge that better regulations and other conditions can attract jobs. Maybe we can try that before tanking the broader economy with tariffs. |

Date: April 5th, 2025 9:17 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor People in my family have mostly moved to Florida. 3.6% unemployment rate.
But apparently South Dakota is at 1.9% unemployment. Montana 2.8%. Minnesota and Nebraska 3.0%. Utah 3.2%. Oklahoma, Iowa and Alabama 3.3%. |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 9:24 PM Author: costumed geriatric sandwich tanning salon cr no poverty in florida. yeah im with you bro, all the rust belt proles should load up their constatoga wagons and head to sunshine state where the streets are lined with gold and there is a desperate unmet demand for labor.
you're retarded. and im retarded for engaging with you knowing that. |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 9:27 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor JFC I'm just saying that's where my family mostly was able to find jobs. Then I listed several states with much lower unemployment. Regardless the unemployment rate in the US overall is quite low and there are definitely jobs. Most of America is not a depressed rust belt shithole where people are starving fent addicts and you're out of touch if you think it is. Streets don't have to be paved with gold for people to be able to make a decent living, which is definitely possible especially in well governed red states. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5705940&forum_id=2],#48819657) |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 9:38 PM Author: costumed geriatric sandwich tanning salon we're at near full employment and most people cannot afford the american dream. that's the problem, stupid. the value of labor is so low that people are working full time and still cannot afford a decent quality of life. that's why so many people in your shithole hometown don't move to florida so that they can doordash for $5/hr and do fent in a swamp instead of the alpine.
i am happy flordia serves as a quasi-penal colony that attracts the most retarded white trash. please cease leaving your prole midwit containment zone and infecting xo and wait for a fortuitous hurricane to take you away.
and re: well governed red states, most of your leaders like the tariffs, so just STFU and listen to your boy ron |

Date: April 5th, 2025 8:40 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor Actually remembering what happened to the textile mills in my hometown (as well as my dad's plant, which left for Colorado in the early 2000s) reminds me, even if we magically on shores all the steel production and milling, these towns wouldn't come back. The textile industry only left the US very recently, but left the rust belt and northeast 70 years ago. There's no way the steel mills would come back to places like Weirtown WV or Youngstown OH. In many cases the tracks that used to shuttle the coal and goods have been ripped up. New plants would all open in the South where there aren't unions, wages are lower, etc. so it wouldn't even solve the problem for people who refuse to leave the declining towns. They can already leave for cities with more jobs right now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5705940&forum_id=2],#48819509) |

Interestingly you are too dumb to realize EPAH's wife is a nice counterexample to your thesis because she had all the money in the world (through EPAH) and was still a crackhead |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 11:36 PM Author: Motley pale wrinkle To be fair, she is only briefly a crackhead before she converts to a heroin-head. And I guess if doing heroin is as 180 as people describe it, she's got a pretty chill life with a condo overlooking the beach where she can do maintenance-level heroin every day whilst looking at the ocean.

|
Date: April 5th, 2025 11:38 PM Author: costumed geriatric sandwich tanning salon no.
im saying "perhaps if we improved economic conditions fewer people will become addicts"
his is "bootstraps"
reasonable minds can disagree whether tariffs will improve domestic economic conditions and is outside the scope. my argument is that we should attempt to do so. |
|
Date: April 5th, 2025 11:48 PM Author: Motley pale wrinkle Well, count me as a supporter of your argument that we should attempt to improve domestic economic conditions.

|
Date: April 5th, 2025 11:49 PM Author: Cyan box office private investor I believe in that too, I just don't think that's to blame for fentanyl addiction or that blowing up the economy with tariffs is going to make fentanyl addiction decrease in random dying factory towns.
