    Landlines, the phone book, newspaper and magazine subscriptions...

    Hondo, where were you when the typewriter manufacturers were laid off?

    Air conditioning manufacturers, coal industry workers, steel industry workers, US manufacturing workers and I are having belly laughs.

    It’s almost like US economy has been modernizing for the benefit of the skilled and educated.

    Meanwhile, Troomps celebrate the demise of landlines.

    I’m sure you guys are going to kick ass on third world labor in 2018!

    Germán Curá plans to bring 600 manufacturing jobs in December to Bay City, Texas, where his European firm, Tenaris, is opening a $1.8 billion steel pipe plant. The rise of the U.S. shale industry largely drove the company's decision to open the plant, but Curá argues that the ability to use advanced technology to create jobs also played a role.

    Along with market size and enforcement of trade laws, "I think manufacturing in the States is coming back because companies have understood that with the appropriate technology with automation ... in the end it's translated in our ability to look at manufacturing as a sustainable, feasible activity," he says.

    That sentiment may mark a shift in manufacturing, which has long been considered a victim of automation. One study from Ball State University estimates that 87% of the manufacturing jobs lost between 2000 and 2010 were attributed to automation and improved efficiency.

    Curá says the typical employee at Tenaris, which also has operations in Canada and Mexico, has changed from "a person pushing a pipe to a person operating a robot."
    Your post makes it appear that Obama was good for manufacturing.
    And yet he and Hillary decided to run against it.

    I wonder how much tax revenue the US is earning on all that offshore cash sitting offshore now?

    Obvious idiocy is obvious.
    What is greater, 35% of nothing or 21% of cash returning home ?
    Businesses don't keep cash overseas because of tax rates.

    Tax rates and other costs have no impact on how businesses make decisions.

    Just curious why they didn't announce the layoffs in the same manner as the bonus.

    Chinned this uncharacteristically excellent Hondo poast to save it from oblivion.

    Sounds like it’s never been better to be uneducated and unskilled. Good times...
    It's a good time to know how to read. It takes brains to run robots and America has them is the take away
    Mexicans can’t run robots? How is a trumpanzee more qualified?

    This is ending badly for the unskilled and uneducated. Can’t say they weren’t warned.
