I agree with this for the most part. We do need more manufacturing type jobs that are union backed to return to the states but that's not going to happen with things like the TPP around. Trump says he is against it for soundbites but he's not really against it. He knows that his rich buddies want to always save a buck whenever possible. Also his own VP pick is for TPP.
Well with international trade and business the way it is I don't see any realistic chance of bringing back manufacturing to the US, so the service industry will continue to bleed the life out of the lower and even working classes. See this is why I don't vote. I guess I should start getting involved in local politics as they actually do have a say in this ****. But I still suspect that's like fighting Zarbon when Frieza is just waiting to smack you down.
