The manufactured nostalgia of Trump's tariffs

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Many Trump supporters are celebrating his new tariffs on the hope that they’ll make America great again by bringing manufacturing back to the U.S.
[…]
The problem is: those who credit manufacturing jobs for a glorious past America mistake correlation for causation. They think their parents and grandparents had the “good life” because of jobs in manufacturing. In reality, their parents and grandparents had that life because of unions, pensions, high marginal tax rates, and strong social policies — with a little post-War exceptionalism and a lot of racism and sexism thrown in.

You don't have to belong to unions to make a good living.

We also had 2 parent families with the wife raising the kids. Now you loons has screwed the pooch so bad. It takes two parents working full time jobs, just to make ends meet.

All by plan of the pedo marxists, so they can get more control of the children.

The manufacturing coming back will not be going to high regulation/union blue states.....They will still be rusting away, all back of the bus, while red RtW states see the bulk of investment.

I worked for DuPont for 20 years here in RtW Virginia, made damn good money, all the OT I wanted, and we were never union......Never even considered it.

Worse yet, strangers raise their kids.

All that is past history. The manufacturing jobs of the future will be in automated plants whose workers will have to be highly trained in operation and maintenance of all the robots, computers, etc. And the manufacturing base will support a whole host of other businesses as well as it always has.

It is interesting that you cite "racism" as a reason for a better standard of living in the past.

Would you care to explain how you imagine that was a positive?

There needs to be a process here in the board by which we can vote out those who state something as fact and then refuse to prove it so.

That one would go really fast.

Unions outpriced our production, which is why China now produces everything.

Did you have something to say? Or just name calling. You Trumpsters don't have much left besides adolescent attacks these days.

It has been months since I've seen a Trump cultist try and make an intelligent fact based argument.

I took it to mean that racism is a core value of Trumpism.

Neither did you.
