That is what the Dems have been screaming for the last 8 years.
This wont happen now, now we've got OUR selves a President that will pick winners and losers, at the expense of AI and automation.
For every AI factor that you bastards create they will have to finance 1000 small businesses.

If 1000 mostly semi-skilled workers are replaced with robots, you'll still have 100 good paying jobs to maintain the robots and oversee the process. If you let it go to Mexico, there will be no manufacturing jobs at all.
Actually, this is a real, huge and growing issue that poses an existential threat to the GLOBAL economy.
I know this because my inlaws own a 900-employee, privately held company that manufactures parts for the heavy duty trucking industry.
They are great people, and a very close family, and have loyalty to their employees. Genuinely.
But even the eldest son, who is primed to succeed his father as president of the company confided to me that they plan on going to Fanuc automation (they're half way there now) as quickly as they can, and that they will be a far more profitable company with 1/2 or even 1/4 the human employees that they now employ.
They are in love with automation and the expenses and headaches that it saves.

The world will be far more profitable with 1/2 or even 1/4 of the human beings that now pullulates on the planet.

Wake me when I can get though a BJ's self checkout without enlisting the help of one of the floor reps. Which btw out number the number of self checkout kiosks.
"... 47% of US jobs are at risk of automation. In the UK, 35% are. In China, it's a whopping 77% — while across the OECD it's an average of 57%."
