Death rates among white middle-aged Americans have soared 'due to the decline in factory jobs and laid off workers turning to drugs or alcohol or committing suicide'
工厂就业下降，失业工人吸毒喝酒自杀，导致中年美国白人死亡率飙升
Increasing competition with China for trade has been blamed for soaring death rates among white, middle aged Americans.
与中国在贸易上的竞争越发激烈，这被认为是美国中年白人死亡率飙升的原因所在。
A silent 'epidemic' of deaths from suicides, drug and alcohol poisoning within that faction was first highlighted last year.
这部分人口因自杀，毒品和酒精中毒而导致的寂静死亡在去年首次受到关注。
But scientists were baffled as to why white, middle aged Americans were bucking the national trend of decreasing death rates. Now two economists believe they have found the answer.
但是科学家们不得其解的是为什么美国中年白人反全国死亡率下降的潮流。现在两名经济学家认为他们找到了答案。
Justin Pierce and Peter Schott believe they can trace back the uptick in suicides, drug overdoses, and alcohol-related deaths to 2000, when President Bill Clinton decided to relax the rules on major imports.
Justin Pierce 和 Peter Schott认为他们可以将自杀，毒品过量服用以酒精中毒而导致的死亡飙升追溯到2000年，当时克林顿总统决定放松对主要进口产品的限制。

There's no such thing as free trade unless all countries are playing by the same economic, labor, and environmental rules. We've been effectively subsidizing China for 20 years.
根本不存在所谓的自由贸易，除非所有国家都采用同样的经济，劳动力和环境法规。我们实际上资助了中国20年。

Bill Clinton probably planned it that way knowing that he and Mrs. Satan would need to get rid of those pesky white voters who might get in the way of their plan for world domination.
比尔克林顿可能是有意为之，因为他知道如果想和自己的魔鬼老婆实现统治世界的计划，那么就必须除掉这些讨厌的白人选民。

I see some conservatives think Obama made Trump move his Trump branded products manufacturing plant over to China to support Chinese workers rather than U.S. workers. It wasn't because trump would rather make more money by paying lower wages, was it? Who's stupid.
有些保守派认为奥巴马让川普将自己的产品生产线迁移到中国，从而给中国人创造就业而不是给美国人创造就业。难道川普不是为了降低自己的生产成本才搬去中国的吗？谁蠢。

It because of the obesity epidemic . Go into any bar in any of those cruddy American towns. How many normal sized people do you see?
是因为肥胖症啦。你去美国任何城镇的任何酒吧里看看。看看你能看到多少正常体重的人？

Hmmmm. Trump brand factory is in China manufacturing trump branded products, supporting Chinese workers, not American. I can list so many conservative led businesses that have moved their businesses overseas, just like trump. This is a conservative issue and it's only going to get worse with a conservative president.
川普在中国生产自己品牌的产品，支持中国工人而不是美国工人。我可以列出很多将生意搬到海外的保守派企业，就像川普。这是一个保守派问题，而现在保守派的川普当选了总统，只会让问题更加严重。

Same is happening in the UK. And the architect of this trade-policy (shifting jobs overseas) was the party of the workers, the Labour party. And yet the workers still vote for them. Why?
英国也是如此。而这个贸易政策（就业外包）制定者就是工党（工人的党）。而工人们依然投票给他们，这是为什么？

The US needs to move away from their heavy dependence on semi skilled and manufacturing jobs. It's bizarre in a developed economy. These are jobs for countries still developing industrially.
美国不能太依赖半熟练和制造业的就业机会。这对一个发达国家来说是不正常的。这些就业机会应该属于正在工业化的国家。

Just the way Obama planned it.
这正是奥巴马所计划的。

Really, is that why trump branded products are manufactured in China? Obama made Trump support Chinese workers over American factory workers? It wasn't because the wages are cheaper in China and trump preferred to make more money rather than support American workers?
是吗，这就是川普将自己的产品生产外包到中国的原因所在？是奥巴马让川普支持中国工人而非美国工人？难道不是因为中国劳动力廉价以及川普想赚更多钱？
Just fed up
Somehow I don't think the liberals give a she-it the death of white middle class means nothing to them.
不知怎的，我认为自由主义者根本不会关心白人中产阶级的死活。

Do conservatives care about minorities?
保守派关心少数族裔了吗？

Liberalism at it's finest.
这就是地地道道的自由主义。
