I live in rural America, and I'm engaged in both Ag retail, and my wife has Thrift store. We have watched over the last several decades as big box stores and the web have displaced much of local retail commerce. Every time you buy you are voting, and then of course many of those same people voted for Trump, all while voting for China at Home Depot, Walmart, etc.
The problem is that even IF manufacturing returns to any appreciable degree (and automation will clobber the jobs there anyway) the retail mechanism has fundamentally changed as well, so those jobs aren't coming back either.
Bernie Sanders was more perceptive than Donald Trump, but America will only come around by following other Countries as they learn to deal with the new reality, it won't be America leading anymore. |
