(1,791 posts)These kind of jobs will come back when Americans have been brought so low and have so few options that we'll do any job, for any amount of money, in whatever conditions we can get them. I didn't think it would be in my lifetime, but it looks like that's the ultimate plan. Bring back the horrid conditions we used to have, including child labor, no safety laws, no social help programs, low wages.
Once that's achieved, close the country down, isolationism at its best, and start going after whatever we want in the world. Already on track for that, with all this talk about Greenland and the Panama Canal. I don't think Canada needs to worry too much, they'll be backed by their own military and that of the UK and Australia, and most of Europe.
I know we can't wait two years for the midterms. It will be far too late by then. Likely won't be a vote anyway. The Dems and like-minded politicians need to get off their asses and fight back. Give us some leadership, and we'll follow.
