“The real issue is what do you do with the people that lose their jobs over this?”
I see help wanted signs everywhere, on the backs of trucks, on the road side in front of businesses, and in store front windows. Granted, this may be temporary. The last time I saw signs like this was in the late sixties. What has changed? I read an article about Trump’s stealth revolution. He has removed not two regulations for one, but 13 for one. He just cancelled a regulation that cost 1% of the entire GDP to implement and enforce. One of the reasons jobs are disappearing isn’t that we don’t need the workers, it’s because they were regulated out of existence. Get rid of the economic drogue chute called over-regulation and we will handily absorb the coming changes introduced by AI and automation. (Oh, and we need to reform education away from political indoctrination and back into something that helps the student adjust to the new world’s economy.)
Yes! We need more plumbers and trade jobs as opposed to majors in “wymyn’s studies” and the perpetually aggrieved.
I hope America as a nation wakes up from its globalist nightmare (and leftwing indoctrination), but I don’t see this permanently lasting (Trump’s policies). Eventually, another politician will replace him and we will continue the march towards a one-world order. The problems of the world are spilling over the border and the cultural rot is too deep in America. Culture trumps law pretty every time. I would love to be wrong.
There will be jobs, but not careers.
