WalMart isn’t the only place that sells mostly imported goods. And of course China isn’t going to attack anyway. And when push comes to shove our manufacturing output is extremely high, it’s AUTOMATION that’s costing jobs (globally) not outsourcing. And that genie ain’t going back in the bottle.

Exactly right. I have made this same point many times on FR, mostly in vain.

So we need to move factories here before automation. What is the pint of offshoring if not to exploit slave wages? Bring it home now. Go Trump go!

Tariff Chines imports now!

BINGO!! That is a subject we would discuss at length 40-50 years ago.
How many jobs will Automation cost in the future? Well, The "future" is here and it is now.
Thousands of jobs have been lost to automation and it will continue.
