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.

The people who are saying they want these jobs brought back to the US are 100% people that would not be doing these jobs. Who wants to stand at an assembly line for 8-12 hours a day assembling components for the iPhone?

More opportunities are a good thing don't get me wrong but I don't believe for a second the people who are cheering for these jobs to come back to the US will be submitting an application.
