Trump: Americans Need To Move Where The Jobs Are

[BertramN]

.
An article in the Washington Post reports, the Big Orange Idiot wants people to leave their homes to find jobs. Just pick up, and move.

However, the many, many conservative, white, blue-collar workers in Big Orange’s voter base still believe they have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative, in the cities and towns where they grew up. Unfortunately, these conservative, white, blue-collar workers have fallen victim to the conservative business and economic policies they’ve advocated and defended for the past four decades.

During those last four decades, conservatives have argued that businesses should not be forced to pay a “liveable wage”, or be required to maintain safe working conditions, or observe workers' rights. Conservatives have consistently elected Republican politicians who serve the interests of company owners, at the expense of U.S. workers.

Conservatives worship at the alter of “Trickle Down”, and can cite the many advantages that benefit the top earners. But, they come up empty when asked how “Trickle Down” has helped the bottom 90% of the U.S. population. All evidence proves “Trickle Down” is a dud for average folks, and has since the 1980s.

During his campaign, Big Orange promised the conservative, white, blue-collar workers cheering at his rallies, that he would bring their jobs back to them. But, the manufacturing jobs that left the cities and towns where most of those conservative, white, blue-collar workers live, are gone for good, regardless of Big Orange’s empty promises.

Conservative, white, blue-collar workers also suffer from another self-inflected problem, their opposition to education, especially their enmity towards science. Rather than move with the times and gain the skills necessary for the technological advances in manufacturing, conservatives expect companies to remain mired in the past, and retain outdated and obsolete manufacturing methods.

If conservatives look at the workers who now do the jobs they lost, that being the workers in China, they would see a workforce that is educated, well trained, and knowledgeable in modern technology.

The conservative, white, blue-collar workers who voted for the Big Orange Idiot were eager to believe their willful ignorance and contempt for education would be preferred by the U.S. corporations over the better educated, better trained, and better educated Chinese workers.

Even if the conservative, white, blue-collar worker who consider taking Big Orange’s advice and moving to where the jobs are, most would not. First, they lack the necessary skills. Second, the vast majority of the high-paying jobs in manufacturing are in coastal cities that are overwhelmingly liberal. Third, the companies in these cities are interested in quality, and hire their employees based on the applicants’ education and abilities, not their race of family connections. So even if Billy Joe’s white daddy and white grand-daddy both worked for the company, it doesn’t guarantee white Billy Joe is automatically hired. Those days are gone, and it doesn’t matter what the Big Orange Idiot promised the conservative, white, blue-collar workers.

Even if the conservative, white, blue-collar workers were willing to move to China (“NO WAY, TOO MANY CH*NKS!” conservatives just shouted.), they would lack the necessary skills in Asia just as they do here in the U.S.

People in California agree with Trump. They are all moving here. Never thought a Trump message would catch on with Calilibs.

 

[basquebromance]

"Toyota & Mazda to build a new $1.6B plant here in the U.S.A. and create 4K new American jobs. A great investment in American manufacturing! ....and don't forget that Foxconn will be spending up to 10 billion dollars on a top of the line plant/plants in Wisconsin. Consumer confidence is at a 16 year high....and for good reason. Much more regulation "busting" to come. Working hard on tax cuts & reform!" - Trump

 

[Avatar4321]

He actually suggested that people do something they've been doing since the beginning of time?????

What next? People should sleep at night? When will this monster stop!?

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

Makes sense, Detroit will never recover and Chicago is going the same route, California will continue to tax jobs away.

/----/ Yeah stay where there are no jobs. Great advice you freaking moron. I grew up in a small, southern town. It was great for bringing up kids, clean and safe. But after High School the only jobs around were textile mills and fast food unless you had an advanced degree or opened a small business. More than half of the graduating class moved to bigger cities where there were plenty of jobs available. President Trump is right.

 

[Tresha91203]

Some people cannot see the obvious so shit all over the messenger. If there aren't the jobs you want in your area, move closer to the jobs! Duh!

This is not Ethiopia where people are unable to relocate nearer the resources.

 

[fncceo]

Americans Need To Move Where The Jobs Are

That actually makes a lot of sense.

That's what Americans have been doing for two centuries.

Alternatively, they can create their own jobs where they live.

Land of opportunities.

Wow. We should uproot businesses and move them to small population centers in order to employ those folks who don't wish to travel for a job, or relocate to an area where the jobs are already established.

We should never leave our homes for a job. Its just crazy talk I say.

 

[EverCurious]

Sounds much like my argument for kids skipping the expense of college if they're not willing to move where said degree job can be found - to which I too was called "stupid"

Whatever, these are the ones who will end up broke their entire lives because they aren't willing to put in the effort for the reward. ~shrug~

They keep forgetting this nation was built by people who moved here because they didn''t like where they were originally.

Migration goes in cycles. You had serfdom where most people didn't leave their plot of land ever during their life. Rich people at the time travelled, but it was usually due to war. The you go to the spasms of expansion and immigration. it's educational to read the early lives of many of our early presidents and other leaders about how many times their families moved to find something better, LIncoln being a prime example. During those times it was the Rich who stayed put. Fast forward to the Industrial era and non-rich people found you could work for the same company for decades and put down roots, while the Rich jet-setted or boat-setted around.

I have a feeling we are due for another cycle of the less well of migrating to where the work is.

/----/ I met folks who refuse a job offer because the drive to work is more than 15 minutes. I asked them, a 14 commute minutes is too close and 16 minute drive is to far? It has to be 15 minutes exactly? It's just the mentality of the poor. I also saw episodes of Undercover Boss where people in rural areas drove three hours back and forth to work for minimum wage. Yes they were industrious but when asked, why not move closer to the job, they replied "I don't know." or "It's too much bother to move." or some such nonsense.

However, the many, many conservative, white, blue-collar workers in Big Orange’s voter base still believe they have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative, in the cities and towns where they grew up. Unfortunately, these conservative, white, blue-collar workers have fallen victim to the conservative business and economic policies they’ve advocated and defended for the past four decades.

During those last four decades, conservatives have argued that businesses should not be forced to pay a “liveable wage”, or be required to maintain safe working conditions, or observe workers' rights. Conservatives have consistently elected Republican politicians who serve the interests of company owners, at the expense of U.S. workers.

Conservatives worship at the alter of “Trickle Down”, and can cite the many advantages that benefit the top earners. But, they come up empty when asked how “Trickle Down” has helped the bottom 90% of the U.S. population. All evidence proves “Trickle Down” is a dud for average folks, and has since the 1980s.

During his campaign, Big Orange promised the conservative, white, blue-collar workers cheering at his rallies, that he would bring their jobs back to them. But, the manufacturing jobs that left the cities and towns where most of those conservative, white, blue-collar workers live, are gone for good, regardless of Big Orange’s empty promises.

Conservative, white, blue-collar workers also suffer from another self-inflected problem, their opposition to education, especially their enmity towards science. Rather than move with the times and gain the skills necessary for the technological advances in manufacturing, conservatives expect companies to remain mired in the past, and retain outdated and obsolete manufacturing methods.

If conservatives look at the workers who now do the jobs they lost, that being the workers in China, they would see a workforce that is educated, well trained, and knowledgeable in modern technology.

The conservative, white, blue-collar workers who voted for the Big Orange Idiot were eager to believe their willful ignorance and contempt for education would be preferred by the U.S. corporations over the better educated, better trained, and better educated Chinese workers.

Even if the conservative, white, blue-collar worker who consider taking Big Orange’s advice and moving to where the jobs are, most would not. First, they lack the necessary skills. Second, the vast majority of the high-paying jobs in manufacturing are in coastal cities that are overwhelmingly liberal. Third, the companies in these cities are interested in quality, and hire their employees based on the applicants’ education and abilities, not their race of family connections. So even if Billy Joe’s white daddy and white grand-daddy both worked for the company, it doesn’t guarantee white Billy Joe is automatically hired. Those days are gone, and it doesn’t matter what the Big Orange Idiot promised the conservative, white, blue-collar workers.

Even if the conservative, white, blue-collar workers were willing to move to China (“NO WAY, TOO MANY CH*NKS!” conservatives just shouted.), they would lack the necessary skills in Asia just as they do here in the U.S.

Conservatives are too stupid to understand this.

/----/ I met folks who refuse a job offer because the drive to work is more than 15 minutes. I asked them, a 14 commute minutes is too close and 16 minute drive is to far? It has to be 15 minutes exactly? It's just the mentality of the poor. I also saw episodes of Undercover Boss where people in rural areas drove three hours back and forth to work for minimum wage. Yes they were industrious but when asked, why not move closer to the job, they replied "I don't know." or "It's too much bother to move." or some such nonsense.

When you have a corporate job, moving is easy
The company picks up the tab and you just buy and sell a house and the company moves you.

For those in the lower wage scales, it is not so easy. Your house may have been in the family for generations, you may have responsibilities with your family and community. Moving to a new community with no contacts costs money. The working poor works paycheck to paycheck. There is not a nest egg to cover you
