Manufacturing only makes up ~8% of jobs in the US [1], and any manufacturing that re-shores will be as automated as possible to avoid labor costs. So, through current policy, you're going to potentially do irreversible damage to the US economy, global trade will re-arrange excluding the US (the global market can absorb whatever the US decides not to import), and whomever thought they were going to get a good paying, lifetime manufacturing job out of this is going to be disappointed.

So, we're going to sit here while the uneducated smoke the whole pack (which includes allowing rural hospitals fail [2], allowing coal mining jobs to evaporate [3], allowing US farmers to go bankrupt [4] [5] [94% of US farm exports have collapsed], etc). Can't blame anyone but who is at the wheel for what happens next.

(service sector makes up ~80% of the US workforce; if you want a secure, living wage job, unionize, there is no other path; we're cosplaying over what should be a good job or not when the argument is simply "all labor is deserving of dignity and a living wage")

How is unionizing and saying in the same post that we're going to automate it away going to help with anything?

You unionize the service jobs and whatever is left of manufacturing. What can be automated will be automated regardless.

No union? No power. The rest is politics, which moves at a glacial pace and not always in the right direction.
