You wouldn’t know it from Trump’s speech, but America’s manufacturing output is at an all-time high: https://t.co/Y4EHvEQ6fG
— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) June 28, 2016
Manufacturing output is at highest levels ever, but that’s due to increasing automation, which means fewer people are doing those kinds of jobs.
I’d love to say that all his claims that he’d build more infrastructure - all that beautiful and best infrastructure - would create more manufacturing jobs, but this is the GOP we’re talking about and they’ve blocked the kind of infrastructure spending needed to really jump start the economy. And they certainly wont raise taxes to cover any of it.

I can’t remember the last time steel was used in a small can. For all my life, it’s been either tin or aluminum for small containers.
Always been (and still is) steel with a very thin layer of tin. Much cheaper for the food companies and very recyclable.
From Wiki on “tin can”
No cans currently in wide use are composed primarily or wholly of tin;[citation needed] that term rather reflects the nearly exclusive use in cans, until the second half of the 20th century, of tinplate steel which combined the physical strength and relatively low price of steel with the corrosion resistance of tin. Depending on the contents and available coatings. Tin-free steel is also used.
In some locations any metal can, even aluminium, might be called a “tin can”. Use of aluminium in cans began in 1957.[6] Aluminium is less costly than tin-plated steel but offers the same resistance to corrosion in addition to greater malleability, resulting in ease of manufacture; this gave rise to the two-piece can, where all but the top of the can is simply stamped out of a single piece of aluminium, rather than laboriously constructed from three pieces of steel.

They are not actually remade into ingots—instead there’s a huge mountain in Eastern Washington composed of crushed aluminum cans. Nobody is making new cans out of them, never mind airplanes—but we are giving the aluminum smelters essentially free electricity to smelt fresh aluminum from ore.

For a while here we had a recycler from the central part of the state set up a trailer here in my village, where residents could take recyclable materials (steel, aluminium, paper, plastic), and about every couple weeks he would take the trailer and leave a new one.
The town was actually behind the effort; the village board pointed out the benefits of recycling and the reduction of cost for our garbage service (less mass).
That lasted about six months; the recycler said he couldn’t make enough money to justify coming out here, so he ended the service.
We’re back to no recycling now.

I think Trump is lost. He can’t figure out what to do next. His schtick isn’t working anymore, and suddenly he’s losing, and losing pretty big. Josh Marshall had a great post up today about this. Trump’s whole mystique is based on dominance and winning. He was able to get past so many “Is this the end of Trump?” moments in the Primary because he just kept winning. His whole campaign, like Trump University, is based on the idea that he is THE BIGGEST WINNER, and he’s offering you the chance to be part of that WINNING!!!
Think of how much of his speeches was dedicated to how well he was polling, and how so many of his answers to questions about stuff he said were just that he’s winning in the polls.
But what if he’s LOSING? Suddenly, the air starts leaking out of the balloon, and what you’re left with is a guy who doesn’t have a clue about anything, who can’t help but strike back in the most childish fashion possible. Now he hasn’t tweeted in a day and a half, during which the SCOTUS torpedoed one of his base’s great hopes; Warren and Clinton hit the campaign trail and Warren wailed on him mercilessly; and now the Benghazi Report is released with all the effect of a wet firecracker. And he’s silent.
The Teleprompter speeches are not going to fire up the base, but when he goes off script, he frightens everyone else away. He has an absolute tin ear* for big news events - his need to make it all about him is very off-putting to everyone who ISN’T crazy. Someone said, after his lackluster-but-sane speech the night of the California Primary that there are only two Trumps - Crazy Trump and Boring Trump. I don’t think either one can win.
And now, the press smell blood.

A congressional witness just accused Congress’ two Muslim members of Muslim Brotherhood ties https://t.co/vjK0SDoWTN w/ @jessicaschulb
— Sam Stein (@samsteinhp) June 28, 2016
The charge was leveled by Chris Gaubatz, a “national security consultant” who has moonlighted as an undercover agitator of Muslim groups that he accuses of being terrorist outfits, and it was directed at Reps. Keith Ellison (D-Mich.) and André Carson (D-Ind.). At the heart of his accusation is the attendance by those two members at a 2008 convention hosted by the Islamic Society of North America — a Muslim umbrella group, which Gaubatz claims is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood.
“I attended a convention in Columbus, Ohio, in 2008, organized by Muslim Brotherhood group, ISNA, and both the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons had recruitment and outreach booths,” Gaubatz said in his testimony. “Both Congressman Keith Ellison, MN, and Andre Carson, IN, spoke at the Muslim Brotherhood event.”
Allegations that Ellison and Carson are secret Muslim agents with extremist leanings are usually found among fringe groups online, often discussed in dire tones on poorly designed websites. Rarely, if ever, do such sentiments get read into congressional testimony, with the imprimatur that offers.
Responsibility for this rare instance lies with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who oversaw the hearing as chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Agency Action, Federal Rights and Federal Courts and whose staff likely screened the testimonies of the witnesses.

Interesting. I did not know the Muslim Brotherhood held conventions in Columbus. Damn, right under our noses.
Oh wait…the ISNA - Islamic Society of North America. I looked up their conventions and they have been held all around America since 1971. Many in Ohio. And they keep happening. It looks like the government is just going to keep letting these go on. The “Brotherhood” probably recruits at these conventions. Right under our noses. Outrageous!
There will be one held in Chicago this year too.
And people wonder why the Obama administration was worried about saying “radical Islamic terrorism.” Probably because of crap just like this.

The terrorists attacked outside security checkpoints at the airport.
As many others have warned/indicated - terrorists would simply shift the attacks to outside security cordons and checkpoints, including at airports, when checkpoints were installed. It was only a matter of time before terrorists shifted tactics.
Killing people outside the cordon is nearly as effective for a terror group as doing so inside, and less difficult to achieve when you’re expecting to die either way.
This is actually a great strategy. Wait until Trump goes on his RT bender and slip something benign looking to him to RT:

Just back from several days at a small Alabama state park. Here’s a photo the park host made of our cabin.
Mandatory political content: It was built by a 200 man CCC company in 1935. The framed document over the fireplace is their Thanksgiving, 1935 menu. The men building it got 30/month, 25 of which was deducted and sent home to their ‘relief’ families. I doubt the congress of the country holds the brains and good will to ever do such a thing again.

re: #52 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge
I only know what happens here: Recyclers are required to pay for aluminum cans. I got 54¢ a pound for one big batch a few years ago. They are not actually remade into ingots—instead there’s a huge mountain in Eastern Washington composed of crushed aluminum cans. Nobody is making new cans out of them, never mind airplanes—but we are giving the aluminum smelters essentially free electricity to smelt fresh aluminum from ore.
This sounded wrong to me, so I googled. Page 14 of a govt report from 2007 () says more than half of aluminum used then was recycled. The energy cost then was 5% of what it costs to smelt from ore. I’m wondering where you read/heard that nobody is making new cans or other aluminum stuff? Serious question, not snark.

And as I mentioned above and is being reported, one of the terrorists was tackled by a Turkish policeman and as they struggled on the floor the terrorist set off his bomb killing the policeman too. That may have saved lives and surly would be considered heroic.
Muslims aren’t allowed to be portrayed as heroic, only villainous, got it? Sheesh, do I have to explain everything to you guys? You need to get with the program. //
In case you missed it from the previous thread, I’m back from my holiday in Dublin. The journey back involved a bus to Belfast, a ferry to Cairnryan, and a bus to Glasgow. On the bus back to Glasgow, the road passes Turnberry golf course, or Trump Turnberry, as it’s now called. Hence…

Mandatory political content: It was built by a 200 man CCC company in 1935. The framed document over the fireplace is the Thanksgiving, 1935 menu. The men building it got 30/month, 25 of which was deducted and sent home to their ‘relief’ families. I doubt the congress of the country holds the brains and good will to ever do such a thing again.
My Dad was in CCC when he was very young. He used to speak of it fondly.
His family were rural Georgia farmers. He was one of 11 kids. I am sure that money helped get them through the depression.

We are very lucky here in Columbus. We have special blue 55 gallon recycle containers on wheels that we put out where our trash is picked up and Rumpke Recycling picks up every other week.

Our small town has weekly pickup of single-stream recycle and ordinary waste. They use conventional garbage trucks which toss the containers using an hydraulic arm. Word is that the material is not as valuable as it once was because it went to China, and their consumption is down.

Well, maybe the local papers are lying about it, I don’t know. The aluminum industry has the state government so completely in their pocket that they get essentially free electricity because JERBZ!! Maybe smelting from ore is more labor-intensive so more JERBZ!! I’d love to be wrong and think all those cans were being used. I figured out once the energy cost comes to over 250 W-hr/can. Aluminum is just frozen electricity.
Wow, MSNBC is showing a security camera video of a terrorist running from the police, gets shot, falls to the ground and then blows himself up. Luckily all the commotion chased people away from the area so it is a good chance that was another bomb that could have killed many that didn’t appear to harm anyone else.
I know…CL is going to be upset with me, but it appears the Turkish police were doing about as good a job as could be expected. More heroism from the Turkish police.
Voted to reelect my congressman, Jerrold Nadler, today in NYC’s lovely old Tweed Courthouse. The ballot consisted entirely of two names: Jerry’s and that of his opponent, Oliver Rosenberg, a gay orthodox Jewish Wall Streeter who as far as reporters can tell is registered as a Repug, and who’s hoping to capitalize on Nadler’s vote for the Iran Nuke Deal.
Over the past few weeks I’ve gotten half a dozen full-color flyers in the mail from the Nadler campaign, and President Obama, former President Clinton, and Chuck Schumer have left messages on my machine. Not a peep from Rosenberg.
I suspect it’ll be yet another landslide for the Nadlerator.

Adjusted for inflation, $30/month in 1935 works out to be about $3 an hour today. Granted, circumstances were very different back then, but work keeping in mind.

It helps me a lot. I am down to one small kitchen garbage bag about every week and a half for the regular trash.
We also have grass clippings and other green things like tree branches as long as they are in the big paper recycle bags or bundled up with twine in 48” or less length bundles.

Yup. And these young guys were often found to be seriously starving when they got into the program. They got food, clothing, tents/cabins, and a bit of education out of it.
What a pain setting up a new phone. My old Samsung G4 croaked and I tried to make due with a trakfone. Expensive little monster. Bought a new G7. Sweet phone, but the pain of setting it up is high. Did find a SF theme that makes it look slightly like the cell phones on “The Expanse” which is humorous.
Funzies all the way around. Do need to get my favorite ringtone song onto it (Husker Du “Monday’s will never be the same”) yet.
I toured one of the Alcoa plants in NY during a summer internship. Fascinating place. They were definitely melting down and recycling cans there.
I have one of the ingots they would cast every 15 minutes to check melt quality. Smaller thing, semi-useful as a paperweight as long as the wind isn’t up.
The crazy thing about just cast aluminum is it doesn’t glow like a lot of metal, so the plant can be more dangerous for that - you don’t realize that the stuff right next to you is 600 degrees and whoops. So full safety gear is pretty much required at all times.
My favorite thing we saw was the air blade they ran the cans over on their way to the melting pools. Set at just the right pressure so that the aluminum cans float over the gap but anything not aluminum would either be blown away or drop out.
Anyway, there’s some random science/engineering memories.

Exclusive: Trump supporters more likely to view blacks negatively - Reuters/Ipsos poll
Supporters of U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump are more likely to describe African Americans as “criminal,” “unintelligent,” “lazy” and “violent” than voters who backed some Republican rivals in the primaries or who support Democratic contender Hillary Clinton, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.
Ahead of the Nov. 8 election to replace Barack Obama, the first black U.S. president, the poll also showed significant numbers of Americans in both the Republican and Democratic parties view blacks more negatively than whites, harbor anxiety about living in diverse neighborhoods and are concerned that affirmative action policies discriminate against whites.
Republicans in the survey expressed these concerns to a greater degree than Democrats, with Trump supporters presenting the most critical views of blacks.

Because of course that big fat nothingburger is obviously so important that it pre-empts anything else. Hell’s bells, I bet they’d probably interrupt the President of the United States for that. How go things among the lizardfolk?

4 dead Americans from 4 years ago are more important to Faux News than 50 or 60 Turks or people who went to Turkey and died today.
re: #310 Shimshon
I think it’s sad I needed to put /s in there, how you didn’t see the obvious sarcasm is beyond me. I mean come on, “chequemix liberache” really??
But then again I’m fleeing so many comment sections like reddit and fark that are totally full stormfront where “sjw” (evil libs are the REAL nazis!) and “globalization” (jew bankers) are part of their argument and white genocide is totally a thing to them. so you never know all the nutters out there that seriously believe the dumbest things.
They’re all celebrating Trump and the Brexit, it’s proof that the majority in America and Britain are stormfronters like them.
my apologies - your imitation of a wingnut (“typical lib propaganda”) was too pitch perfect. :-) and i had no clue what to make of “chequemix liberache”…
i think this is what comes from spending too much time on my rather pointless habit of arguing with actual wingnuts. my only justification for it is to flush out the counterarguments and to plumb the extent of the yawning chasms of ignorance

re: #191 ObserverArt
Yep, and ISIS destroyed the historicTemple of Bel in Palmyra, Syria…considered a great architectural significant treasure. I’m sure there are more such examples. All in the name of religion.
I really worry about the safety of the Gobekli Tepe archeological site in Southern Turkey. It is just a few miles away from ISIS controlled parts of Syria, and since it is the world’s oldest “temple” at 10,000 BC, it seems just like the kind of target they would love to hit. I am glad that a huge amount of the site is still under ground and relatively safe. The strike at the Turkish airport today is troubling———-though I don’t think we know yet if ISIS was responsible.

I’m strictly read-only when it comes to places like RedState. I want to see what the other side is thinking, but engaging is pretty much pointless unless there’s a compelling reason (e.g., trying to prevent a friend or family member from going full wingnut).

I know copper wire has been a target of theft over the past few years. Presumably that represents a difference in the cost of processing old versus new, which I would guess might have increased due to safety/environmental regulations or something.
I’m mostly just pulling potentially plausible explanations out of mid-air, which I tend to excel at but can’t back up with specific facts (not without more research) so I should probably just go back to writing.

Mine flared up HARD during a hike in Yellowstone about 7 years ago and has been very difficult to deal with since then. We’re doing a hike in the Sierras this weekend and I am turning into a ball of anxiety about it. I have found the elevation profile for the hike (the part I can’t skip/avoid) and tried my best to play with Google Earth at the worst spot on that to see how bad I think it will be and honestly it should be doable.
But trying to get the physiological responses to calm down is a different matter.
