Good point about Charlotte, but let’s be realistic. Most of the jobs those people are capable of doing are being automated out of existence, and it has nothing to do with trade policy.

Then, automate! Don’t outsource.

I’ve worked in industrial automation for 35 years. I know the actual reality of what automation means. Do you know what automation requires? Technicians. An army of technicians. People who can go to trade school for 2 years or get some military technical training and they are able to get a good job building, maintaining, operating, and programming automated machinery.

But if you send the assembly line to Asia, then they automate. Their people become automation technicians.

So, yes, automate everything and the USA can be a nation of robot repairmen.
