77. What's your solution. You could have said, "All TVs will be made in America, and you can pay 3 times

Look, I know this is a serious problem here and lots of people have gotten hurt. Some were hurt because time moves on -- like buggy whip manufacturers. Some were hurt by technology, computers. Used to be millions of people working in decent paying clerical jobs. Now one person can handle a lot of clerical work with the applications available. Some jobs went overseas. That created other jobs here and demand from overseas for our products. Some people who would not move or retrain, have been hurt the worst. But we aren't going to make it trading among ourselves.

Personally, I'm for partnering with business -- like Scandinavian countries do -- and taxing them accordingly to provide income, healthcare, etc., to those who are unfortunately displaced. I don't know how you stop it otherwise because isolating ourselves will not work long-term. Of course, that's going to require changing corporate leadership, probably by incentives and penalties. Those in your area who though Trump has the solution, have likely made their plight worse.
