I’ve already heard the rationalization: It was the ineptitude of previous administrations that allowed trade with China to get so out of hand, forcing HitlerPig to make the hard decisions that will hurt now, but America will be better off for it in a few years, when full manufacturing has returned to America. Of course, that will mean a crippling Economic Depression until that happens.
People believing that think that the new manufacturing landscape is going to return wonderful, high paying jobs to workers who could barely achieve a high school diploma. They couldn’t be more wrong.
If Sociopathic Oligarchs and Corporations have the chance to rebuild the manufacturing sector, why would they emulate the model that got manufacturing sent to China in the first place? The new factories will be mostly automated, and jobs that rely on humans will be more like Asian sweatshops - non-union, no mnimum wage, no benefits, no health/ safety/ environmental regulations, forced overtime with no overtime pay, teen labor, etc.
In the meantime, they are allowing workers’ imaginations to run wild with fantasies of easy $50 an hour manufacturing jobs, without correcting them about their real intentions.
