By way of illustration, I know of a plant where folks get $7 plus change an hour to stand in front of a hot machine pulling freshly molded (and hot) items out of a finishing oven.

Are these the kinds of jobs you wish we had more of, that more tariffs would "protect?" I'd prefer we continued to educate our workforce to the point where I could find qualified candidates to work in my office for a minimum of $40K per year. The fact is, I can't find people to fill open positions because they just aren't out there, and the ones that are want too much money because of the tight job market.

Dude I know the feeling. I wanted to offer $99 breast augmentations and $99 buttocks reductions (I'd be a God in the South) but nobody wants to work these days Waaaaahhhhhh
