Why the leaked transcripts of Hillary's speeches are, IMO, quite possibly a good thing.

14. Exactly!

Same -- I read through a couple and thought "man, I want to post about this on twitter" but kept waiting, assuming somewhere in there would be this horrible speech about something deplorable. Just never came.

Without a doubt, I definitely disagree with a number of points. But we're talking about a much higher level of debate than anything I'd have expected to find in "leaked transcripts".

And as far as manufacturing goes, on a long enough timeline (like 50 years), everything will be 100% automated, and the only "manufacturing jobs" that will exist are the ones that involve programming the AI that runs the robotics. We're already seeing that in China, with fully automated PCB assembly, and the impressive setup over at Tesla Motors. So, IMO, the "bring manufacturing jobs back" argument is firmly rooted in the mid-20th century, and a relatively useless argument. I have no idea what that means for the future, but it's like, let's just concede that manufacturing jobs are gone, and go from there.
