    No, I'm saying good luck selling those products to people without jobs.

    Not sure what was unclear about that.

    It was very clear, and not what I said as you asked.

    You're welcome.

    We are all brothers and sisters in humanity. We are all made from the same dust of stars. We cannot be separated because all life is interconnected.

    Well yeah, that's exactly what he's doing. Telling you you didn't say so he can argue it endlessly.

    Just smile and waive, he'll go pester someone else with his projecting.

    I guess they'll just have to sell the products to the people who have jobs, then.

    And if people still want to buy stuff, they'll have to learn other skills that make them employable again.

    Boy, life can get so complicated, can't it?

    We the People DID NOT vote in a majority Rodent Congress, they stole it via election fraud.

    Well, considering we're approaching zero unemployment and labor is at a demand, where do you think these people who's jobs are being displaced by automation are going to get jobs?

    Maybe they can climb over the wall into Mexico and find work there.

    Thanks for proving that life is harder when you're stupid.

    I read you constant anti-capitalist screeds and can only assume you must be a socialist. If not, what then? You can get defensive and pretend offense all you want, but eventually, you ought to stop saying what you're against and stand up for what you believe in. It was a simple question.
