I've never advocated for you to go away on these boards... not even once.

Sure, not directly, but the majority of response to me are an attempt to belittle me, rather than challenge my point/opinion.

I don't want you to go away either. We've certainly battled but I appreciate you even though I don't like you sometimes. LOL

I have no issue with you having an opinion. Being open my issue with you is you quote manufacturing hourly wages that are incorrect. And with a simple google search you can see the average is over $28/hr infringed. You also did not understand that you can do more with the same number of employees. I do this for a living so, as an expert, I do know what I am talking about. But you clearly stated that you can not do more with less. I consistently improve companies over 40%, meaning in terms of output a company making 10 per hour, I improve them to more than 14 per hour with the same or lower resources.

But it is a discussion board and you can have what ever opinion you want to have. As anyone else including me.

---

I think we have a misunderstanding. The manufacturing hourly wage that I was talking about is in industries which were in NC but have moved out of country. So, there is no way furniture manufacturing, textile manufacturing, and meat processing makes $28/hr. The manufacturing that has gone overseas in NC is primarily low wage manufacturing jobs. There seems to be a desire to return those jobs back to NC at the detriment to better paying service jobs. That was my point.

---

That it is not what you stated. Never once did you say your numbers were from NC. But a simple google search you can find the average manufacturing job in NC is over $24 an hour. Plus the tariffs are not only for NC they are for the total US so for context of tariffs and bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US we need to discuss the US not just NC.

ETA: Here is what I got when googling brining back textile jobs.

• Priority on other sectors: Donald Trump has indicated his focus is on industries like military equipment, computers, tanks, microchips, and artificial intelligence, rather than lower-skilled textile jobs like making T-shirts and socks, according to Reuters. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in April 2025, stated the goal was to bring back high-quality industrial jobs and precision manufacturing, not necessarily a booming textile industry, according to the New York Times.

---

Again, I was responding to something specific here specific posters were debating, not the policy of the Trump administration. I don't know why you are harping on this. Here is what googling what the average salary in the meat manufacturing industry brings back: As of Jul 25, 2025, the average hourly pay for a Meat Industry in the United States is $18.97 an hour.

I'm sorry I didn't do the research on what manufacturing jobs in NC currently average, because that wasn't my point.

My point still stands, there are many more service industry jobs that pay more, have better benefits, and better working conditions. They are also jobs more likely to be filled first than manufacturing jobs, of which there is a very large number of them already that can't be filled.

The policy of tariffs trades those jobs and other higher paying jobs for lower paying manufacturing jobs.

That has always been my point, but you seem to be stuck on one particular thing.

---

what is the average hourly wage for service jobs?

---

In commercial construction in NC, $24/hr is what you can make starting as a laborer. The hourly wage depends on what trade you are working in and what crew position you are in. But your ceiling is incredibly much more higher. I've seen people start at pushing a broom and earn 6 figures in a relatively short time period. Same with tradesmen, they can acquire skills and knowledge early in their lives and go on to start their own business.

Hell, there is better opportunity working as a fry cook at McDonalds, you can become President of the United States! Kidding aside, there are numerous examples of people starting at the bottom, showing the initiative and becoming operators and franchise owners of McDonalds, Chic-Fil-A, etc.

That simply doesn't happen in manufacturing. I know a guy who has worked for 30 years in a food plant in NY and has made it all the way up to production foreman. This is a guy who was in the military, is highly motivated, wants the promotion, but this is the only steady job in his area of Upstate NY, where he needs to be.

---

Yep, construction small business ownership scales down in ways that manufacturing simply can't touch. You can make an excellent living as a business owner in a trade with a small shop. You can't profitably run a 8-man pork production plant as easily, or probably at all.

One of our special-project electricians spun out of a big production company several years ago and has focused on EV charger retrofit installs in the Triangle. He's doing 100-150 charger installs a month with three or four small crews @ $1400/per install n/i the charger itself. There's labor and material costs and overhead in there obviously but high-level he's probably profiting $200k-$300k a year, order of magnitude, on top of paying himself a good salary.

And that's every skilled trade. There are those same opportunities in plumbing, mechanical, etc. and lower margins but even lower barriers to entry in trades like paint and drywall. And lIke you said, even unskilled labor in this industry makes good money if they're willing to put in the time (and in many cases, put up with the risk and physical danger of working on construction sites)

---

Fully support that trades is a great path and more people working in them are needed.

I am going to disagree on scalling down in manufacturing. Ever since the interwebs and connecting people there are hundreds of examples of small manufacturing (electronics, computers, Art, crafts, making things...etc) that are very small but doing well. Not done much work in food production plants but dont farmers butcher and sell meat? Small scale right?

Man, I hardly even get involved in any of the arguments around here anymore if we are being 100% honest... I've made plenty of posts supportive of you over the years as well, but I guess they don't count as much as the recent negative ones...

I don't understand the everything Trump-related hate, so you've got me there - but you aren't the only one on here guilty of that, so I'm not quite sure what your issue here is today that you feel you need to threaten to quit the board to prove some phantom point or whatever.

I'll try to leave you alone from now on and see if that helps any.

---

I don't hate Trump, and I don't hate everything he has done. Do I have issues with a lot of it? Yes, but I have been supportive when I see something I like the administration has done, That gets ignored

---

You've mellowed with the Trump success, that's what's happened.

The issue is in terms of degree.

There may be examples of micro-manufacturing jobs or producers but they're not nearly as prevalent or as in-demand as in construction. Estimates vary, but order-of-magnitude, 500k or more jobs are unfilled or needed in construction right now.

Selling bracelets on Etsy isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about robust businesses that gross hundreds of thousands a year almost from jump street and can grow upward from there.

I'd much rather see Trump, given his construction and development background, go gangbusters on trade training programs for the youth and underemployed in this country instead of implementing tariffs that have and may well continue to damage our economy all for the vague and shortsighted goal of onshoring limited-upside factory jobs.

Here is a 20 minute interview of Tulsi Gabbard with Glenn Beck. I believe it was recorded last night before the information dropped this morning. I am sure that Tulsi and I don't agree on everything, but there is no denying that this woman is a True Patriot and has served this country for over 20 years as an officer in the military. She is doing a fantastic job.

There might be a few quick ads in the video, but they are only for 5 seconds and then you can skip.

The Trump admin has been TRANSPARENTLY dredging up everything they can come up with to get you to stop asking about Epstein. Miraculously they discovered these other files about Dems that they are able to release right now! Can you believe it?!

Honest question: Can you guys really not see that you're being led around by the nose? Or are you just in on the con?

---

Another way of looking at it is the democrats can't win on policy or really anything else so all they do is distract with Epstein this and Epstein that to keep their cult followers outraged.

---

Another way of looking at it is that MAGA are the ones that keep bringing up Epstein. Even guys like Joe Rogan are now asking why Trump is gaslighting you. Good to know that the Water Cooler represents the dumbest and most gullible wing of MAGA.

At least we have the answer now to the age old question, "Man, do you think these MAGA loons would support Trump even if he molested a 12 year old?" The answer is ABSOLUTELY!

I knew Dems were struggling with young men, but I guess I underestimated how badly they are struggling with young men.

---

Who knows if this number is on target….pretty alarming for Dems if it's ballpark though. Pure speculation, but I'm guessing they want to be young men in a world that's telling them it's not OK to be young men.

---

Who is telling them it's not OK to be young men?

I've got an 18 year old son so something like that would certainly be memorable and I've literally never heard anything like that.

---

The toxic masculinity rant crowd.

---

Again, where is this "crowd"?

Who exactly are you referring to?

And what behaviors are men young men allegedly being horribly shamed for?

This sounds an awful lot like the current incarnation of the liberal boogeyman the right has been cycling through forever.

I guarantee you you can't name any politician, leader, or anyone else with any significant following or level of influence on the left that push the allegedly toxic masculinity bit the way that Andrew Tate, Charlie Kirk, and even mildly Rogan and others have railed against the myth to their tens of millions of fans/followers.

This is yet another white male grievance issue that influencers on the right have fabricated just so they can grift off it and rail against it and act like they're liberating men from a cult of beta soyboy feminism that doesn't actually exist.

Honestly I'd be embarrassed to be aligned with the party that appeals to this sort of unthinking, superficial, lowest-common-denominator grievance but it's where the right is right now, and the Dems have been completely unable to come up with authentic, effective messaging to counter it.

Lol, I definitely remember Trump and his surrogates for years, right up until this summer, raging about releasing the Epstein files and crushing the Dem pedo conspiracy once and for all.

I guess he wasn't worried about "people getting hurt" until this May when Bondi confirmed to him that he's in the files? Now it's a very delicate matter!

And regardless, who cares what he says? We all know at this point he just says whatever pops into his head, and he also lies constantly. The only thing that matters is what he does.

What he does is everything

How about we let it play out? Geez, you ever notice you hyperventilate over EVERYTHING and sometime later it turns out no big deal.

Hahaha

Trump says he wants to release everything related to Epstein. He says he does not want people(victims) to get hurt from that release, but he wants to release it all. Doesn't sound like a man who is tangled up in the mess now does it?

Tell that to the half of MAGA that's hyperventilating because Trump isn't curing the conspiracy that ails them. That's who Trump has to answer to. Not me.

Would love to hear your speculation though about why Trump had a pedo moved to a Club Med work camp from an actual prison.

In the meantime we should get back to raging about all of these shady Dem conspiracies that define all of MAGA! I mean, look what Tulsi Gabbard just found in the couch cushions about Obama!!!

Lol, you guys are such a joke.

My pure speculation is Mrs. Maxwell is rich and knows a lot of powerful people on both sides of the aisle. Again, pure speculation but there are people that want her moved. Do you think she's the very first person to have this happen?

Either way, I'll let things play out but I understand you're worried about what she might say when you were just THIS close to getting Trump after all these years.

It's extremely important to him for all this Epstein stuff to be terrible for Trump, truth be damned. He looks like a colossal fool with all the Russia!!!! stuff now. He used to very much hyperventilate about that as well. And Covid. And mansplaining. And hands up don't shoot. And insurrection. And Kavanaugh being a rapist. Whatever the Democrat cry of the day is. Civ is a good lapdog.

Lol, speaking of a joke. Russia did fu** with our election and Russian oligarchs were popping out of every one of the Trump admin's closets for some reason. Trump has been bizarrely kissing Putin's ass ever since, and you all love Russia now for some reason. Covid was a real thing that killed millions... Trump even begged you to get vaccinated. Trump did lead a violent insurrection on national TV that everyone saw with their eyes, but then he insisted it was a pleasant picnic and you said "duh, ok!". Kavanaugh probably is a rapist, but Trump boofed that under the rug.

It's Trump's MAGA base of starry-eyed, infinitely gullible lapdogs, actually, that are his superpower.

This Epstein stuff is just the most cartoonish example yet that you guys are in la la land. It's not possible to act more guilty than Trump is right now...and it's actually kind of creepy how you guys are just completely blind to this stuff that's right in your face.

LOLOL

You couldn't accurately articulate what I felt about any of those topics, much less all of them.

There's zero hope at this point of Trump being required to abide by most laws or rules or norms. Sadly that ain't happening.

I do think it's hilarious watching him crap all over the MAGA conspiracy loons whose conspiracies he levered to get back in office, and whose conspiracy dreams he's now conveniently shutting down now that the object of their lunacy is one of his former best friends and involves his own bad behavior.

Imagine being so full of derangement that you think Trump doesn't abide by most laws. Lol. Godalmighty.

It's an illness.

LOLOL it's positively wild how hard y'all work to normalize and excuse his behavior, up to and including pedophilia, evidently.

Rank him on the index of "Most law- and norm-abiding Presidents in US History" and get back to me.
