Billionaire GOP megadonor Ken Griffin is confused: Why is the US trying to bring back 'jobs that'll never pay much'?

[Care4all]

As of 2025, the average hourly pay at Walmart in the United States is approximately $15.36

However, actual wages vary depending on the role, experience, and location:

Entry-Level and Retail Roles:​

• Cashier: ~$16.50/hour
  2
• Stock Associate: ~$17.00/hour
• Personal Shopper: ~$15.42/hour
  3
• Front End Associate: ~$14.94/hour

Warehouse and Fulfillment:​

• Warehouse Worker: ~$20.85/hour
• Order Filler: ~$24.41/hour
• Freight Handler: ~$22.01/hour

Pharmacy Roles:​

• Pharmacy Technician: ~$18.50/hour
• Pharmacist: ~$63.25/hour

Management:​

• Assistant Manager: ~$54,455/year
• Operations Manager: ~$126,425/year

Walmart has also implemented regional pay adjustments in 2025, meaning employees in high-cost areas may earn more than the national average

$15.00 is near a minimum wage job up here...?

Maybe they pay more up here than their average?

These 26 Billionaires Have Each Given More Than $1 Million to Elect Trump

The former president has plenty of rich friends, who are handing over a fortune to put him back in the White House—even though he is giving nothing.

Without an industrial base when war breaks out you are the designated loser

Thats it right there. Nothing else matters.

“Why is the US trying to bring back 'jobs that'll never pay much'?”

Because Trump and his supporters are ignorant idiots.

Not only are these jobs low-paying, but they’re mostly semi-skilled manual labor jobs – tedious assembly line work, the kind of work Americans won’t do.

Instead of trying to ‘bring back’ low-paying grunt work, we should instead be investing in education and training programs for Americans to obtain skilled, good paying jobs – but that’s the kind of sound, responsible governance Trump and Republicans are incapable of.

Manufacturing is a matter of national security.

Not in this world. WWIII will not require a huge industrial base.

Everything that trump does and says harkens back to the bad old days of the 50's. He is determined to take the country back to colored bathrooms, oil is the king, and women should stay in the kitchen and bedroom.

Less than half a year since Trump's inauguration, Griffin said he was asked during a recent visit to China, "Why are you trying to be like China?"

Their whole "message" has been screwy from the start. First it was for jobs. Then it couldn't be for jobs because, as they admitted, automation would take over. Then it was to replace taxes. They're all over the place, because this is about ideology, not logic.

He's been calling everything a ******* "emergency" so that he could move unilaterally. This is not a ******* emergency, although he has MADE IT ONE by alienating all of our former friends and allies.

Trump has had this stick in his ass for decades, and time has passed it by. All this damage, just for that.

It will take decades for the country to recover from the trump/musk damage...if it ever does.
