This is BS. The factories in the USA closed down completely! They're gone which has NOTHING to do with automation.. The jobs went to the third world and if anything, off shoring slows technological advancement by the universal use of slave wage labor. Free Traitors™ are liars and deceivers.

Perhaps you've not heard of Nucor Steel, which in 2016 produced and sold about 22 millions of steel. Most of Nucor's production assets are in the United States. Their corporate headquarters are located in Charlotte, North Carolina, which (I believe) is located in the United States.
