Upon what data and assumptions is this prediction based?
How will this help Joe Six-pack?
- paulyg 10y agoIt won't help Joe Six-pack. And your questions make me think you did not read the article. The manufacturing output will increase due to automation & other improved techniques. My fave quote from the article: > So while it's understandable the state of manufacturing is of concern to presidential candidates, those who say they can bring back lost jobs in the sector either don't know what they are talking about, or are being disingenuous.

- mistermann 10y agoHow can you be disingenuous if you don't know what you're talking about?
- aaronblohowiak 10y agoI think the sky is red but I tell you today it is teal -- I am lying about something I misunderstand
- mistermann 10y agoDoes "lying" not imply one knows the truth?
- jasonlotito 10y agoNo. It implies one is attempting to pass of a false statement as true. If you know your statement is false, you are lying. Just because you don't know the truth doesn't mean you can't lie.
- pessimizer 10y ago> Upon what data and assumptions is this prediction based? None. It's based on a survey of CEOs sponsored by a nonprofit thinktank made up entirely of CEOs. This article is a barely rewritten press release, and the content of the survey is worthless. > How will this help Joe Six-pack? Its purpose was to advocate for Clinton and anyone-but-Trump. I suppose that it told Joe Six-pack who America's CEOs wanted him to vote for?
