those jobs aren't coming back.
Well, actually they are to a surprising degree. China is getting more
expensive to manufacture in and while oil is cheap now it won't stay
that way so shipping costs are rising. With improving technology
manufacturing is increasing in many countries. Who is gonna buy a
Bentley made in Bangladesh?

The Brexit was fundamentally sold to people in the UK on lies. Pro-Brexit advocates have promised that:
1) Brexit will allow the UK to better control immigration.
2) Brexit will not cause the UK from leaving the European Economic Community.
3) Brexit will allow the UK to stop paying hundreds of millions of pounds annually to Brussels.
It's pretty obvious that all three of these things can not possibly be true.

Reilly, I am alluding to the advent of technology. The old time jobs are being replaced by automation. My cousin is involved with the meshing of employment, and automation, i.e. training people how to survive on an automated assembly line, etc.
Furthermore, more, and more people are foregoing college educations because they don't want to spend the time, or money, when they can get a job in the service industry(which is becoming more automated, as well).

The Supreme Court shoots down Obama's illegal immigrant protection bill (he wants to turn the USA into a welfare state) and then he tries to tell the UK what to do on the Brexit vote. How dare he tell them what to do. They gave the EU the boot. Then they gave Obama the boot. Obama and Hillary are completely disconnected from what is right and what the people want.
Is he outta office yet?

Klimmer,
We only just gave Europe 'the boot', it's a great misrepresentation of the stats to suggest it was an overwhelming decision, supported by some huge majority. It was not. Moreover, it is laughable and painful in the extreme to think that it somehow validates Donald Trumps credentials to be the leader of the most powerful country in the world! He is a world class idiot, not a world class leader.
But then you think there's an Ark on the moon - so I guess I shouldn't be surprised....
I should add. The majority of those who voted 'out' were from the poorer working class demographic. They will likely get poorer as a result, but didn't have the wit to see it coming. Where I live, close to Sunderland there is a Nissan factory it is Sunderland's largest employer by a mile. Sunderland was Nissan's portal into Europe. Nissan are reportedly already in discussion with Renault about shifting production....

America was "great" following WW II after the rest of the industrialized world had been flattened into dust. The Great America had unlimited markets and nearly all the agricultural, economic, and industrial capacity...

^^^^. Not to mention the House UnAmerican Activites Committee (HUAC) which decided to find commies in every nook and cranny. Destroying lives and spying on American citizens, especially Hollywood and liberals. HUAC existed all the way up to the 60s and 70s investigating, spying on student activists. Thanks Big Joe.
We scream about constitutional rights to carry assault weapons but there is barely chit chat about the insidious and stealthy ways our government is spying on us all in the name of keeping us free from terrorists.
