I simply fail to see any logic in that balding doofus’ argument that increasing the number of high wage earners would force pay upwards. Aside from driving wages down you would also be creating a void in farm workers and shrimp workers, driving up the price of food. Sounds like a “Let ’em eat Cake!” plan to me. It didn’t work well for the Bourbons, it won’t work well for the tRump mob.
So, how many Man-Hours did it take to build a Chevrolet Suburban in the 1950s, as compared to how many it takes today? How many FEWER real people are there on the assembly line now, as compared to then?
…but…but…Trump is bringing back the high-pay low-skill factory jobs like granddad had, right!? He said so. Bringing ‘em right back to my town. An he’s real smart so he can do it. Only Trump can do it right?…right?….
Yeah, Americans are lining up to pick crops, mow lawns, and clean motel rooms. A few years back when they were going to deport illegals and their US born children a lot of them left voluntarily and Georgia (and other states I assume) lost over 2 billion in crop losses because they had no skilled workers to harvest them. Oh those terrible Mexicans taking jobs away from “Amuricuns.”

Corporations will buy robots to replace your jobs, jobs, jobs with their Republican Tax Breaks.

Japan figured out in the 1980’s that going all machine is detrimental to their economy. They would still have to pay people to keep the economy going.
