That you know of. China really tries to keep a tight grip on their news.

For example, here's an article about a Chinese astronaut being injured and they clean up the blood and put him back inside before the cameras roll.

That's what the whole 34 felonies business is though. Trump paid her through his lawyer. 1 initial payment then 11 more over the course of a year recorded in triplicate. 11x3+1=34 felonies. Paying her off wasn't illegal. They said it would influence the election for the public to know so it was approached from an election tampering angle. It's the reason the case is controversial. Normally that would be persued by the feds, but they declined.

Your impression of a factory sounds like TV. Every company is paranoid about medical claims. It means your are not winding a screwdriver by hand. You have a low torque screw gun hanging in front of on a retractable cord. How many people stare at a computer screen all day? That's up close and not in a factory. You think it sucks, but I remember getting good enough at a lot of tasks that my hands remember how to do the work. Most people spend the shift bsing with their work friends. The truth is that if you do the same thing, anything, for forty years your body will pay for it.

See thats half the problem. You think manufacturing jobs really suck, but to be honest I really like factory work. Good pay. Usually lots of opportunity for overtime. And most especially you don't have to deal with customers. Most Americans could probably use a little physical labor too. I'll take a job putting screws in a phone. Who cares? It's a job. It's not like your changing the world with your job either.

You're just a pro China AC troll. You give it away in the last paragraph. Everyone here in the US laments manufacturing moving overseas because the quality just fell through the floor. Ask anyone with tools or household machines. Things used to just get old and people wanted a new one. Now it's just cheap enough to keep throwing that garbage one you bought last year and buying another garbage one.

Make sure you sign up for an econ course. It is a loan, but loans that have a much lower bar to get. Most of the students are getting them. Now, with all that easy to acquire money, enrollment rates start going up. What happens to something you find in endless demand? The price goes up, the loan goes up, the amount you owe when done goes up. We both know it's been doing that for a very long time and much faster than inflation. So yes, federal student loans are a subsidy for universities.
