How would you "bring back the jobs?"

[Berniewood Hogan]

"Shillary stans think she'll bring back the jobs."

"Trumpers think Trump has any idea of how to bring back the jobs."

"Vote third party. They won't bring back the jobs, but it will be a fun vote."




I'm glad to see all the stanbases agree on one thing. Nobody's "bringing back the jobs."


Question for the luminarious brehs of Higher Learning: How would you "bring back the jobs?"


Go to China and demand the textile workers put their jobs into shipping containers and Maersk them over here?

Delete all the software that made many of "the jobs" obsolete?

Start a government make-work program to fix our country's crumbling infrastructure and provide some of "the jobs?"




"BRING BACK THE JOBS!!!"

Why not? Rebuild the infrastructure and roll out some new shyt while we're at it. Fiber internet for everyone.

I would find a way to devalue our currency until everyone is forced to work for 60 cents a day, so we can be more competitive with those pesky Cambodian child laborers.

if the bytch asses in congress would vote for it ...

Trump's suits and ties are manufactured in China. Impose crippling taxes on big businesses like his that will make outsourcing financially unviable. Use the tax money to build new factories and hire employees in economically suffering cities in the US.

help could probably get the whole country wired up.

That and govt help to help people with career changes.



Of course none of that shyt will be happening tho. Far too late for any of it.

I do not believe americans really want those jobs. Jobs are a front to the days when white men were the head of the family, coloreds were in the back of the bus, and you could have a side woman and your wife couldn't do anything about it.

can we get rid of these lead pipes first. The homes in the city of philadelphia are from 100 years ago. can we build some public schools first? can we stop paying teachers fast-food wages?

I truly believe if you have a government that is for small businesses instead of big businesses, you wouldn't have to worry about jobs.

You're in the biggest economy in the world, but where is the money going?

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Do something comparable to the public works act from way back when.

Dunno about where y'all live but in Illinois, our government funded everything (roads, bridges, general infrastructure) is fukked, and will perpetually be fukked as soon as it's fixed, due to population+weather

 

[Shogun]

The jobs are there, Americans are just to lazy/elitist to work them.

Yea like janitor and picking fruit jobs

 

[Gentility]

Fukk those jobs. Like I wanna be in a factory making iPhones? Give me a universal minimum income so I don't have to work at all.

 

[Saka]

Lettuce be real hulkster , the only way those jobs will ever come back here is when their automated and the robots are ready to do them, we should spend more time worrying about the millions of more jobs that are gonna disappear in the next decade or two.

We start by acknowledging "the jobs" are never coming back. Manufacturing is dead. Anyone (be it Trump or Sanders) promising a return of factory work is lying to you, because paying people here $8 an hour is never going to appeal to corporations more than paying someone 8 cents an hour in Asia. Facts.

The question should be how do we create or foster new jobs, and what old jobs still exist. Short term we start with infrastructure. A massive stimulus focused on rebuilding America would create a lot of jobs and spur many city economies. But obviously construction jobs end when the project ends, so there has to be something more long term. Americans are doing a good job of building solar panels for the world. We should continue to do that and invest more. Urban farming would be a great way to further lower food costs and get people to work.

Perhaps the most long term important factor is EDUCATION. There are a lot of jobs out there that Americans are not qualified for. We need to invest more in education, including adult education. Making community colleges more accessible is a great idea. We should also be looking into making 4 year universities less expensive, especially if they are publicly funded. How we do this I don't know.
