I can do without more shirts, electronic gadgets and fruits and vegetables raised in toxic environments. But I cannot do without full employment for my fellow Americans, producing world class high quality products.
Put America and Americans back to work! We do not want to be equals among nations, we want to be superior!
Put protective tariffs back and watch new American manufacturers blossom, staffed by millions of......robots.
It's just like requiring a $15/hour wage at McDonalds, but you can't see it.
The days of millions of American men turning bolts on the washing machine assembly line, or snapping vacuum tubes into that conveyor belt of TV sets, are, simply. over.
And what we have to do is figure out how to sustain living standards in an economy in which those sorts of jobs continue to disappear.
