Last night I was half watching the debate and thought I misunderstood what Warren was saying about job loss to automation. This morning Andrew Yang talked about the 4th Industrial Revolution and what Warren said last night. So I tracked down a written transcript of the debate and I didn’t misunderstand what she said.
“BURNETT: Senator, thank you. We are going to get to that issue later on tonight.
Senator Warren, you wrote that blaming job loss on automation is, quote, "a good story, except it's not really true." So should workers here in Ohio not be worried about losing their jobs to automation?
WARREN: So the data show that we have had a lot of problems with losing jobs, but the principal reason has been bad trade policy. The principal reason has been a bunch of corporations, giant multinational corporations who've been calling the shots on trade, giant multinational corporations that have no loyalty to America. They have no loyalty to American workers. They have no loyalty to American consumers. They have no loyalty to American communities. They are loyal only to their own bottom line.
I have a plan to fix that, and it's accountable capitalism. It says, you want to have one of the giant corporations in America? Then, by golly, 40 percent of your board of directors should be elected by your employees. That will make a difference when a corporation decides, gee, we could save a nickel by moving a job to Mexico, when there are people on the board in the boardroom saying, no, do you know what that does to our company, do you know what that does to our community, to what it does to our workers?
We also need to make it easier to join a union and give unions more power when they negotiate.
(APPLAUSE)
We need to restructure strength in this economy, and that's where it starts.
“YANG: Senator Warren, I just need -- I just need to address this.
BURNETT: Go ahead, Mr. Yang.
YANG: Senator Warren, I've been talking to Americans around the country about automation. And they're smart. They see what's happening around them. Their Main Street stores are closing. They see a self-serve kiosk in every McDonalds, every grocery store, every CVS. Driving a truck is the most common job in 29 states, including this one; 3.5 million truck drivers in this country. And my friends in California are piloting self-driving trucks.
What is that going to mean for the 3.5 million truckers or the 7 million Americans who work in truck stops, motels, and diners that rely upon the truckers getting out and having a meal? Saying this is a rules problem is ignoring the reality that Americans see around us every single day.
every single day.
“BURNETT: Senator Warren, respond, please.
(CROSSTALK)
(APPLAUSE)
WARREN: So I understand that what we're all looking for is how we strengthen America's middle class. And actually, I think the thing closest to the universal basic income is Social Security. It's one of the reasons that I've put forward a plan to extend the solvency of Social Security by decades and add $200 to the payment of every person who receives Social Security right now and every person who receives disability insurance right now.
That $200 a month will lift nearly 5 million families out of poverty. And it will sure loosen up the budget for a whole lot more. It also has a provision for your wife, for those who stay home to do caregiving for children or for seniors, and creates an opportunity for them to get credit on their Social Security.
BURNETT: Thank you.
WARREN: So after a lifetime of hard work, people are entitled to retire with dignity.
BURNETT: Thank you, Senator Warren.
WARREN: I see this as an important question about just -- I want to understand the data on this.
BURNETT: Senator, thank you very much.
WARREN: And I want to make sure we're responding to make this work.
BURNETT: Your time is up.”
So she apparently doesn’t think losing jobs to automation is big enough deal to have a plan for. Elizabeth “I’ve got a plan” Warren has no plan for addressing jobs lost to automation. She sees it as a “good story” only.
I’m curious on what people are suppose to do from the time they lose their job to automation and when they can start collecting Social Security? What is her plan for that?
IMO this is why we need to stop listening to Warren, Sanders, & Biden and hear what the others have to say.

Did he think he could just hop on a plane and leave? NOY so bright! The fourth defendant in a case centered around business associates of President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani was detained on Wednesday by authorities at a New York City airport, according to The Washington Post. Correia was one of four that was charged last week with orchestrating a scheme to funnel money to numerous Republican committees. The defendants included Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, two Florida businessmen with ties to Giuliani. The office of the Southern District of New York confirmed the arrest. ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/466071-indicted-giuliani-associate-taken-into-custody-at-new-york-airport

This is hilarious. I don't know how to embed a tweet but Trump tweeted: Just out: MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS AT THE HIGHEST POINT EVER, EVER, EVER! How about saying it this way, IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY! Also, MORE PEOPLE WORKING TODAY IN THE USA THAN AT ANY TIME IN HISTORY! Tough numbers for the Radical Left Democrats to beat! Impeach the Pres.
and a whole load of twitters have agreed with him link

MSNBC..
”JUST IN: House votes 354-60 to condemn President Trump's withdrawal of US forces from northern Syria; 129 Republicans support the resolution.”
Someone isn’t going to be happy with this...

linkYou really get tired of reading this. Why does the The Census Bureau need the color of my eyes?? Yes, I know the racist pigs. From HuffPost “Census Bureau Seeks Driver’s License Data, Including Citizenship And Eye Color”From the article.. “Two former Census Bureau directors said they were puzzled by the agency’s request. The U.S. Census Bureau has asked several states to turn over driver’s license records that include personal data like eye color as part of President Donald Trump’s effort to obtain citizenship data. The Census Bureau said Tuesday that it requested the information as part of its effort to use existing government records to compile data on citizenship. The agency said it was requesting the records to comply with Trump’s July executive order asking it to do just that after the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the president’s effort to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. The proposed citizenship question effort set off a firestorm of criticism from civil rights groups and activists who said it would discourage marginalized people, including noncitizens and people of color, from responding to the decennial survey. After the court ruling, the Trump administration has said it would gather citizenship data through other methods, potentially enabling lawmakers to redraw districts to benefit Republicans by leaving noncitizens out of the census count. HuffPost obtained a draft memorandum the Census Bureau submitted to multiple states that would govern the sharing of driver’s license records. The document outlines a request for monthly driver’s license records between 2018 and 2023. It asks for 11 fields of information that would potentially be on a driver’s license ― including citizenship status and eye color. (The Census Bureau’s request for driver’s license records was first reported by The Associated Press.) It’s not unusual for the Census Bureau to seek data from states. But two former directors of the Census Bureau said that asking for this specific data is both surprising and unnecessary. Asking about eye color, in particular, “is very strange,” said Kenneth Prewitt, who served as director of the Census Bureau from 1998 to 2001. “I cannot imagine how it would be useful in constructing population statistics, which is the task of the Census Bureau — not detailed data about individuals,” Prewitt said. In general, driver’s licenses aren’t particularly good indicators of citizenship because motorists are only required to update them once every few years, during which their citizenship status may change, Prewitt said. Driver’s license info is only useful for finding addresses and ages, he said. “Beyond that, they’re no data there,” he added. “That’s not data that’s particularly hard for the Census Bureau to get.”

Well that didn’t go well...
”BREAKING: Sen. Schumer says he and other Democratic leaders walked out of meeting with President Trump at White House because the president was “insulting” to Speaker Pelosi during the meeting.
Rep. Hoyer says president was making “offensive” accusations during a “diatribe.”
“Speaker Pelosi claims that President Trump was "shaken" during the meeting by the House vote today condemning his Syria military withdrawal -- a vote that included more than 120 Republicans voting in favor.”
“WATCH: After meeting with President Trump, Democratic House Majority Leader Hoyer says he has served with 6 presidents and “never have I seen a president treat so disrespectfully a co-equal branch of the government of the United States.”
twitter rant coming?

That must have been some meeting...
Carl Hulse..
”Dems say that in angry meeting, Pres Trump called former DefSec Mattis : “the world’s most overrated general. You know why? He wasn’t tough enough. I captured ISIS. Mattis said it would take 2 yrs. I captured them in 1 month”
And he also let the majority go through his actions.

That letter is really something. ha. it's *something* all right- not sure WHAT, though. (besides bullshit, that is.) I really could never imagine that this is the (HORRIBLY LOW) level of intellectual discourse that the current leader of our country is capable of, let alone that it's actually getting put down onto paper for posterity. 'be smart' is NOT diplomacy.

That letter is really something. I swear that he is jonesing for a Nobel Peace Prize. He hinted that he deserved one this year. President Obama got one his first term. trump likes to think he is the master negotiator and is trying to bring about peace in the Middle East. Wouldn't it be ironic if Jared got the peace prize instead? Of course, I would hope that neither of them would win the prize.

And then there is this...
Julian Boger...
”btw.. Trump just became the first US official to confirm the presence of 50 US nuclear bombs based in Turkey. "We're very confident" they're safe, he told reporters, via WH Pool
US and Nato officials never talk about nuclear deployments abroad.”
So thanks to blabber mouth folks know where we have 50 nuclear weapons.
I would be remiss if I didn’t remind some how hysterical they got over the possibly that Hillary, and her server, compromised classified information.
This guy just blurted it right out there.

Kurt Eichenwald...
”Trump says of Incirlik base in Turkey, where are nukes are held: "We have a great air base there —a very powerful air base.”
We dont have an airbase. It is Turkey's airbase. That is a huge part of why our nukes are no longer secure. And the President doesnt know who controls it.”
