Let's say the average factory before all this started took 100 people to run (making numbers easy). Now, after all of this, and the rise of automation, how many people do you think that factory is going to need? Probably about 10% of that. And for those people, it's great, and we should try to get more manufacturing here to encourage that. BUT, we still need to have a plan for the other 90% of people who aren't going to get those high-paid, high-skilled jobs. They haven't gone away. They still have families to take care of.
In the short run, we need to work to move the production chain back to the united states, and that will generate some manufacturing jobs. I suspect more than the corporate-interest controlled media will say, but it almost doesn't matter if we are playing the long game for our kids.
Selling our kids into debt slavery and a jobless future is not an option. The service (really, the consumption) economy is built on a mountain of unpayable debt. It has to end, but the right is too wedded to free market ideology and corporate donors, while the left is too wedded to international universalism and, strangely, mainstream academic economics.
