2. It doesn't fit the narrative that people upset by the loss of manufacturing jobs are just upset

3. This predated NAFTA

"By 1982, manufacturing operations in Pueblo and across the United States were hit by stiff international competition that led to drastic cutbacks and factory closures. CF&I went from 13,000 jobs statewide, including all of its subsidiaries, to eventually 1,300 at its bottom in the 1990s."

Not to mention the attendant problems of air pollution


"The towering steel mill stacks and their billowing clouds of smoke were symbols of"...pollution.

Just sayin'

4. unskilled, medium and moderately high skilled jobs are just going away all around the world

Its a global shift away from human labor and human work.


Just like with John Henry, the race to the bottom with machines is a battle we cannot win.

5. What is sad is that the Clinton-Sachs fans don't care one iota about job loses as long

as Goldman-Sachs makes more profits. Shame
