- Our observation: The less-than-500 counties that Hillary Clinton carried nationwide encompassed a massive 64 percent of America’s economic activity as measured by total output in 2015. By contrast, the more-than-2,600 counties that Donald Trump won generated just 36 percent of the country’s output—just a little more than one-third of the nation’s economic activity.
Look at that map.
In other words, people with jobs voted Clinton. This problem is not going to go away. "The educational level and the skill level of the people down there is so much lower than it is in Ontario," Fedchun said. In addition to lower training costs, Canadian workers are also $4 to $5 cheaper to employ partly thanks to the taxpayer-funded health-care system in Canada, said federal Industry Minister David Emmerson. "Most people don't think of our health-care system as being a competitive advantage," he said. Ray Tanguay, president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, said Toyota's decision on where to build its seventh North American plant was "not only about money." "It's about being in the right place," he said, noting the company can rely on the expertise of experienced Cambridge workers to help get Woodstock up and running.He said Nissan and Honda have encountered difficulties getting new plants up to full production in recent years in Mississippi and Alabama due to an untrained - and often illiterate - workforce. In Alabama, trainers had to use "pictorials" to teach some illiterate workers how to use high-tech plant equipment.
this has to be one of the most idiotic assumption's i've seen kb make ever. He won't read this (blocked me)...but for heaven's sake. NO SHIT THE PEOPLE CHURNING LESS OF THE NUMBERS VOTED FOR TRUMP. Fuck man, the last eight years has seen a dramatic income inequality gap increase, and the middle class erode. Any dingus who reads a history book knows how that game ends up. KB, for all you love dear, pray I don't figure out who you are in RL, because I would bitch slap you. (EDIT: see below) This country, as it is structured, DOES NOT FUNCTION WITHOUT A POWERFUL MIDDLE CLASS. Next thing he'll start preaching is how the electoral college isn't a fair representation of our country... *facepalm. edit: this is spin, a lot of spin. I'm empowered for calling this whole thing and i'm going on a better path in RL. I'm sober while righting this, and about to go to work so that's good too. edit 2.0: since it seems a growing number of persons are blocking me I can only revise my IRL statement: KB, if I met you in real life today, I would want to slap you. Why? Mostly because I can tell you haven't lived a very dynamic life, despite all you can say. Messsage intended for 'iamyourownreshmore', who has also blocked me: you right, I apologize and re-edited my statement. Just know I am not backing away from the essence of what I want to share. The internet grew dramatically in its infancy as a utility for people to share their voice, especially in anonymity. You could be whoever you wanted behind an alias. Just know that there is nothing I wouldn't share here that I would not share in real life. I have a position that is not considered because it is not backed by factual evidence, and is heavily dependent upon speculation and subjective to the individual's sense of value. Kb does not convey this, despite his eloquence and fact-checking method of valuing everything. There is more moving in this country behind the curtains than any of these people (especially KB) will ever see. But they, along with many here, will give their opinion. That is totally fine, but when I am continuously blocked, it hurts. I bring it upon myself, I know. Every message I get is one I appreciate, that I may learn to improve my message. Thank you for at least commenting on my reply.
Say what you will, but I ask that you please don't even bring the wiff of doxxing or IRL harrassment into this at all.pray I don't figure out who you are in RL
They reached the same conclusions as this paper, showing a continual geographic concentration of wealth and concentration, and increased economic power of fewer and fewer counties in the United States.
