Your implication that Trump is some kind of Luddite is stupid and disingenuous.
Automation causes loss of jobs, just like moving factories does. And, yes, I understand some jobs are saved, in that somebody has to maintain the automation. But very few are saved.
And, understand that, in some cases, the companies are in the position that they are not competitive given their current cost structure, so they have to either move a plant to a cheaper labor location, or further automate.
I’m all for Trump’s agenda to cut regulations and taxes, but not so much on board for intimidation of companies to make ill advised business decisions that would endanger the continued profitability of a company.
