Even a blind idiot finds a nut on occassion. But this idiot didn’t know that only in America does the real estate “industry” not export jobs. So even an idiot can learn new things? Or maybe an idiot should not question?

But then the Green Nazis are hell bent on shutting down coal mining in Wyoming and Montana and if possible oil and gas extraction in the US. That isn’t the exportation of jobs by corporations

Ok, I’m the idiot. Here’s what I said:
He made is money in the only uniquely American industry– real estate.

I was trying to say, He made his money in a unique industry whose jobs can’t be exported.

Contrast that with many/most politicians who have profited from the stock market, where the connection between share value isn’t tied to American jobs and sometimes has an inverse relationship.
Globalization has benefits to the investor class at the expense of the working class– many of which can’t profit from a booming stock market.

So it was only natural that om would reply, correcting my mistake:

Regarding real estate as an industry. The building of things (buildings, golf courses) does happen in other parts of this earth. Not to be confused with those evil multinational corporations that build things like mines, petrochemical plants, refineries, LNG terminals, factories, bridges, water and wastewater treatment plants, that stuff.

To that I owe him a debt of gratitude. Otherwise I might have continued to think that only real estate produced jobs in the United States.

Thank you, om, for pointing that out. I’m eternally indebted to you for that.

When grand statements are made regarding an “industry” or an agency and assumptions behind those grand statements are questioned, well

“You are an idiot!”

shows a bit of sensitivity and fragility?

Sad.

Brian E:

“You are an idiot” is not a convincing argument, as you are no doubt aware.

Oh noes! The CIA! Not the FSB nor the myriad of other government agencies employed by other nation states in the rest of the world. Nope let’s fixate on the CIA. Because everyone else plays by “the rules.”

Sad trombone expected now for Yanukovych and the 1950s Iranian (pre-Shah) politician. Don’t be shy, although you’ve played that tune before.
