The Commerce secretary was on CNBC yesterday am talking about how the tariffs will bring back manufacturing jobs to US. Then a few seconds later was talking about having Apple (and other companies) make their products in the US using robotics. So very few actual American humans getting jobs.

Well, obviously the generous, philanthropic corporations and investors and politicans will all take the extra profit generated and funnel it into the larger US economy, as well as into taxes to to reduce the cost of living and increase welfare so as to balance out the reduced jobs. Duh.
