Commerce chief wants you to work in factories 'for the rest of your life' [View all]
Another day in Trumps America, another idiotic comment from an out-of-touch multibillionaire.
During an interview on CNBC Tuesday, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that President Donald Trump's asinine tariffs will lead Americans to work in factories for the rest of their livesand that they'll love it. He said that a benefit of Trumps tariffs will be that manufacturing plants will move back onshore.
"It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas, he said.
Of course, no one wants to work a menial factory job for the rest of their days. The American dream is not to subject your kids and grandkids to a life of low-wage, low-skilled work, but rather to have upward mobility, an easier life, and solid wages.

Nutlick should work in a job for the rest of his life that befits him more like cleaning public restrooms, sewers or pumping septic tanks.
I'm sure he'd love it.
