Seriously?! Lol.
If america is great then those factory jobs will be paying a big bunch more than $16.97 per hour. That is simply unacceptable. That's poverty pay.Yes, there might be some skilled jobs there, a few.
Fully Automated Factories: The Future Of Manufacturing? | OEEsystems
Fully automated factories are considered to be the future of the manufacturing industry. This guide explores key information and developments.www.oeesystems.com
"More recently, attempts at establishing full lights out factories have been successful. Development into this methodology has occurred around the world. One example can be found in the Netherlands. Philips has successfully set up automated factors for the production of electric razors. The only role of human workers here is quality assurance and there are just nine workers operating in this capacity."
The problem in the US is how much a worker costs.
Factory Worker Hourly Pay in 2025 | PayScale
The average hourly pay for a Factory Worker is $16.97 in 2025. Visit PayScale to research factory worker hourly pay by city, experience, skill, employer and more.www.payscale.com
The average wage, according to this, ins $16.97 an hour. A 40 hour week is going to cost $678.8 a week, or $2,700 a month or more. Another says most earn from $42,000 a year, or $3,500 a month.
In China, which has seen more than a doubling of their economy in the last 10 years, the average salary a month might be like $700. So, imagine that in the US for every worker you're paying $35,000 a year more. There's massive incentive to automate and automate without needing things like lights, toilets, healthcare etc etc.
The other problem is, the people who supported Trump for his "bring back manufacturing jobs" are those who'd want the high paid, low skilled, working class jobs. The sort of people Vance spoke about in his book, the lazy bastards he speaks about in his book who want the job, but don't want to do the work. So, for your extra $35,000 you a worker who's half as productive.
Wow.
YES.

Building an auto plant is only temporary work as well Delldud. Once the plant is built the work is done.

We all support China.
Are you calling for a nationwide boycott of China, the natiin's largest retailer?
Yeah then people are employed to work on the assembly line, parts inventorying, building maintenance, sales, IT, management, etc.
Can you hear me now?
You enjoyed fortifying the Peoples Liberation Army, creating all kinds of high tech weaponry to challenge the US military?
You talk about dumbfucks.

Trump official admits US workers won’t get jobs in new factories spurred by tariff strategy
Howard Lutnick suggests robotics are the futureuk.yahoo.com
"
Howard Lutnick appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday and promised that “trillions” of dollars would flow into the US in the form of new investments in America’s manufacturing sector. Margaret Brennan, the show’s host, questioned whether those factories would be “automated”, as Lutnick had said previously.
Pointing out that the construction of new factories “takes years” and will do nothing to bring down costs of consumer goods for Americans in the short term, Brennan added: “You said that robots are going to fill those jobs. So those aren't union worker jobs.”
“It’s automated factories,” Lutnick conceded, while promising that American workers would build and “operate” the factories brought to US shores in the coming months and years."
Yep, they're planning on bringing manufacturing back to the US, but not for working class to have low paid jobs, they'll never compete with poorer countries even with the tariffs put in place. Nope, it's all going to be automated so the rich get RICHER and the poorer get morescrewedoverer.

Stockman spells out the problem of manufacturing in the US versus China…
Then, of course, we get to the monster of the midway—China—and the data most definitely do not vindicate the Tariff Man. Last time around the barn he boosted the weighted average US tariff on imports from China to 19.3%. That 19th century style level was applied to $472 billion of imports from China, and the resulting $82 billion of tariffs were largely paid by domestic importers and consumers.
But it did not stop the bleeding. Despite a far lower average China tariff of 7.5% on US goods coming into the Red Ponzi, US exports in 2023 totaled only $151 billion. In turn, that means the trade deficit weighed in at a huge $276 billion—a level not materially lower than the$311 billion incurred during the last year on the Donald’s watch in 2020.
Indeed, when you look at the data where imports from China totaled $427 billion while exports to China amounted to only $151 billion, it is evident that something is going on with both sides of the equation that can’t be explained by a nearly 3:1 difference in the high US tariff versus the moderate China tariff. To wit, US exports are being stymied by high, noncompetitive costs, while imports from China are being bloated by low super-competitive prices.
Yes, we have an idea as to what this not so mysterious factor is: Namely, the average hourly manufacturing wage in China during 2023 was $5.70 per hour in USD versus $27.50 per hour in the USA. Of course, the Donald undoubtedly thinks this nearly 5:1 wage gap is “unfair”, but that begs the question as to how we arrived at the current towering US wage level when the average US manufacturing wage in 1970 was just $3.35 per hour.
In a word, the Fed inflated us there!

We have a higher standard of living to maintain as well as a higher standard of tax funded government services. American workers can't compete with foreign labor, and we shouldn't have to. If tariffs punish those who import cheaper foreign goods and those who buy those goods, that's a good start to ending trade with those countries.
What is sickening is that like buying illegal drugs, Americans flock mindlessly to the Walmart's of the country to buy as much imported goods as they can.
There's a saying in business, "Nothing happens until something is sold."
What 'happens' when too many foreign goods are bought is a trade deficit and national debt.
So, instead of creating a market for affordable housing, American consumers have created a market for foreign made products.

You don't need to learn Chinese to shop at Wal Mart, the nation's largest peddler of cheap, Chi-Com goods.
