8. Oh, I have been called a racist because the IT jobs are gone. Not cool either.

Are you suggesting I wish for higher gas prices, then? I should actually go out and champion fracking?

All I am saying is that, for any American job sector lost, the losers are told to suck it up, shut up, and hey! Look at how well the economy is doing!!!!!!!! I wouldn't wish job loss on anyone, and I have no control over that - the 1% do. Just saying that this is the new reality, and what did anyone think was going to happen if the Kochs allow us to go more towards wind and solar? Will we be keeping coal mines open, too? To save jobs?
I was just repeating the "advice" I was given, that's all. Hey, if it makes you feel better, I lost a $10 an hour online job to someone overseas who was willing to work for $6.

That's the future, love. The TPP and other "agreements" will see to that. I will work on being fucking happy about it, but doubties it will happen.
