Can't wait to find out. The suspense is unnerving. With the resources Democrats are spending on this investigation, just imagine if they don't find something. It would have been much cheaper for them to put the proper controls in place from the get go, but they were too preoccupied with the accumulation of power that they forgot to govern.

Watergate seems more aligned to current day Democrat practice.

Oh many of the investigators are Republican, and the Republicans who head the Senate and the House have declined to stop these investigations. Trump wanted to fire Mueller, but Linday Graham said if he did so it would be the beginning of the end of his Presidency. Don't pretend Republican politicians are particularly loyal to Trump.

Look at the job growth trends, services and healthcare. Job losses are good producing jobs most being manufacturing.

About 12.3 millions Americans work in manufacturing and the number declines each year.
Very mininal decline and most of it can be attributed to economic fluctations. Also, most of that period fell under the Obama administration, which by its own admission, were anti-manufacturing and were indifferent to manufacturing leaving the country. This new administration is pro-manufacturing and you will see that number reverse.

Every non essential job doing a monkey skill level task will eventually be replaced or outsourced.
You can essentially say that about all industries. For example, even finance has gone electronic. Almost all trading today are electronic. By your logic, the world has passed the NYC worker by too. What did voting for Obama do for NYC? Absolutely nothing.

Bloomberg moved NYC away from finance and encouraged growth in tourism, media, education, among other fields. As banking and Wall Street became digital, you had mega mergers between firms and far fewer bankers. Then the great collapse of 2008 occurred. Major investment banks failed, and the two remaining investment banks (Goldman and Morgan Stanley) turned themselves into commercial banks so they could borrow from the Fed directly.

Obviously Goldman and Morgan still do investment banking, but their parent companies are commercial banks.

^ Bloomberg was smart and had foresight (unlike the current Bozo we have in office). NYC was entirely dependent on the financial sector (in some ways it still does) and that is not very secure because if it goes into a downturn, the city will be vulnerable. He wanted to diversify the city’s economy, which is a great idea.

Besides the fields you mentioned, he also supported biotech.

NYC would be better off without poor people, yet here they are.

There can't be rich people without poor people. Middle and upper class people live comfortably because the service.and retail industries tend to pay their employees low.wages, and manufactured goods come from countries where the workers are paid peanuts.

Of course they would be. They are of no difference. Trump should just fire Mueller.
