A man visits a gas pump, an ATM, and a self-checkout. Man: I once had a job pumping gas but they took it away. Then I worked as a bank teller... and they took those jobs away... I fell back on being a supermarket cashier but they stole those jobs, too! Those damn immigrants! Lucky for me I can still drive for Uber! Look, driverless cars! Cool!!

Guess this is the wrong time to bring up the coal mining jobs and steel manufacturing jobs that are going to be returned to America.

Right, and they should also get involved to help Trump with developing a reliable species of flying pig…

As all intelligent people know (this leaves out most Trump voters), the problem never was Mexicans, it was microchips (and other forms of technology). If there had ever been any concerted effort to retrain people from vanished industries (coal miners are as obsolete as buggy factories) into modern life, the economy would’ve been much stronger at every point of the last let’s say 30 years. But of course, that would’ve required money, and too much of it is being sat on by rich people……….

But we’ll create medical jobs to treat those who get Black Lung from mining coal.

“The democrats must get involved with Trump to help build a secure border.”
.
That’s right focus on the people you don’t like & ignore the reality of automation.

But, but, but… Mr. Wuerker… bigly, successful billionaire business man Donald Dump told us he will make America great again by bringing back all the jobs we’ve lost. HE said we lost those jobs because ALL our past stupid leaders negotiated terrible trade agreements and once he gets in office, he will fix all that. (He said he was the only one that can do it because he is soooo smart.). So there is just no way robots took our jobs. And the fact that foreign workers, who make pennies on the dollar compared to American workers, produce significantly cheaper goods HAS NOTHING TO WITH the fact that we have lost so many jobs. So come on Mr. Wuerker, what is the matter with you?

Forget fast food jobs. Illegals have taken over Landscaping, Construction, and Warehouse jobs to name a few. Now that California is giving them driver’s licenses and sanctuary,(not to mention welfare, housing, medical, etc.) who can blame them for sneaking in?

Remember when Hillary Clinton said she would work to retrain and employ coal miners who would be put out of work by inevitable progress in science, and how they all went nuts and screamed that she was trying to TAKE THEIR JOBS AWAY?
