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.
That's the thing these people don't understand. The manufacturing sector employing large parts of the population in the US is never coming back, even with the assumption that tariffs will bring back manufacturing. That ship has simply sailed.
And besides, this is a trend that was happening in western countries anyway, i.e manufacturing being brought back, but with a much higher degree of automation.
Wonder who's making and repairing those robots though.
And who's going to be able to buy those phones?
Like, I'm no economist by any degree, but, part of being able to sell things is a person being able to afford it. But with their plans of recession and depression (and further a whole swath of people being jailed, ah fuck)...
They're going to make prisoners make these things aren't they? Meanwhile probably going to civil war.
