That's how they will be brought back.

return to humans.

If we are no longer getting them from overseas we need to manufacture the goods ourselves like we used to. Making steel was one of our big job producers until trade agreements brought us Chinese steel. This is only the tip of what will come back to us once we trash the trade agreements.

The idea of a UBI(Universal Basic Income) seems the most workable to me. Some countries are looking at this because of the workforce change no one has really prepared for. We'll have to get to Democratic Socialism first I think.

this country it won't happen until it is dire. I agree with this basic concept. I think Americans will have a major problem with this
idea. People getting something for nothing. People are scoffing at the idea that robots will take a lot of manual jobs, but we
have Amazon as a clear example of what is right around the corner.

around the corner, not some distant syfy future.

It's misleading to say the candidates are lying about this

would help to lower labor costs and from that help to make Americans more competitive on the world job market. That would help some. But it's going to take time before that come about.

Improvement on the trade deals is not impossible and would also help some. That's going to take time.

The infrastructure plans of Bernie's will help add new jobs in America.

Bernie's thrust for renewable energy will help add some jobs - but take other jobs away from the oil industry over time.

Bernie's plans for income inequality - in part delivered by single payer, will inject more disposable income into the US economy and help generate job growth from that. I know the economist that looked at it got criticized for the accuracy of his first pass but the principles of his assumptions seem valid and Bernie's policies should help the economy overall.

There is probably more than those quick thoughts.

and undo them. It isn't rocket science, and it isn't mysterious.

Yes it will take time even so. But spending American money here, on American companies ONLY, plus a hefty infrastructure program would do wonders.

We need a New Deal 2.0. Most of the infrastructure we have was built then, and that is not a coincidence.

People haven't come to grips with this change yet. I don't think it will be as bad as some projections, but I do think it will be more significant of a change than previous large scale changes like industrialization or the growth of agriculture.

So we're stuck with which lie we want to pretend to believe.

At that point the shipping and logistics costs make outsourcing more expensive than keeping a factory here. It ain't rocket science.

You have a point, and automation is a problem in terms of workers.

But rather than condoning making it worse by shipping remaining jobs out of the US, I think keeping those jobs in the US should be a priority.
