It's really weird how so many people associate manufacturing jobs and working in a factory with job security and prosperity.
I think it's just because back in the 50s, 60s or whenever the American golden age was there were more jobs like that but those jobs didn't cause the overall economic conditions.
If you look at people who work in those factories in China they are exploited in a similar way the USA exploits illegal immigrants from Mexico. In order to compete with developing countries there would be pressure to lower wages and benefits not raise them.
- America never had a "golden age" but we all had the Cold War********
- Manufacturing takes more people than resource extraction, finance, tech, other services. It just makes more jobs in general.monNom
- Free trade made the US rich, but look at the morans now wanting to get rid of that********
- Competition for a limited pool of workers will tend to raise wages/curtail poor working conditions. Maybe still dirty, dangerous work, but lots of it.monNom
- The Orange clown trying to turn the US into Russia - with "made in USA" crap for local market and closing international trade.********

- during the the "50's 60's or whatever" employee retirements were largely company pensions immune from stock volatility.jonny_quest_lives
- that is unless the company that you were drawing a pension fund suddenly went bankrupt.jonny_quest_lives
- on the surface a pension is more stable then a 401k retirement plan as you are drawing a monthly check equivalent to your monthly pay at the timeyou retirejonny_quest_lives
- downside of a pension is unless u have some sort of life insurance the pay will stop upon your death leaving spouse somewhat hosed if they outlive youjonny_quest_lives
- tariffs by default are anti capitalist... they subvert "private ownership of the means of production"jonny_quest_lives
- they penalize companies solely based on their manufacturing process/locationjonny_quest_lives
- quite the gordian Knot... for the last 50 years peoples' retirements are tied to the stock market being in the greenjonny_quest_lives

"In CA, approximately 79.51% of total employment is in the services sector, while blue-collar jobs make up less than one-fifth of the workforce"******** - So HOW EXACTLY do manufacturing jobs AKA blue-collar jobs take more hands?
You guys have no clue, but love to comment******** - then just search for shit like "the american golden age myth" there was no golden age, the MAGA promise is fake, just like the clown's orange tan********
- < so back on topic, I think they missed the services sector with the tariffs because that would totally tank the markets overnight********
- And all this affects only US vs. World dynamics, for the rest of us everywhere else is business as usual - or it should've been********
- It was funny today at the local coffee spot, the owner said he just got a stock of good coffee from Columbia through the US and paid like extra $60 taxes********
- Because apparently a lot of coffee brands use the US to process and ship their stuff so we pay more now for coffee because you elected a moran********
- Also funny Romania considered shipping very cheap eggs to the US, but not anymore, fuck that, we're sending more to the Dutch********
- Nobody under 30 thinks manufacturing jobs are good jobs********
- Clearly 70-80M MAGA morans think so********
- "America never had a golden age." Are you a flat earther?canoe
- are you MAGA?********
- Thanks for reminding me how terrible the U.S. is — while using our internet, our platforms, and American-invented tech to complain about it in English.canoe
- I can send you some eggs to balance it if you want?********
- When you float around that MAGA number, you always moronically forget that more people voted for Biden.canoe
- Eggs? Not surprised that's all you have to off after Ceaușescu.canoe
- "offer"canoe
- People see you all as Americans, either if you voted for the orange clown or not. This is what you don't get.
Yet.
You're becoming pariah******** - I was offering eggs out of sympathy, maybe you missed that ;)********
- lol what a fucking retard to think the USA actually needs eggs from anywhere, are you so small minded you think Romani could help us in any way? hilarious.monospaced
- Any dairy state here likely makes more eggs than Romania as a nation. Fucking lol bro. Is that a flex?monospaced
