51 years ago I started working and there was a range of jobs open to me that would amaze most people today. I worked in the dress trade where there were 1,000s of companies making clothing. My friends worked in car manufacturing, electronic manufacturing, etc. none of us were highly educated. My Brothers who were Systems Analysts who could write in machine code were also spoilt for choice to get a good job. One ended up building the program that Stock Markets around the world rely on for up to the second pricings.

Now see how many clothes, cars, electronics you own are made in the country you live in.

As for programming. IBM had their European HQ in London, then moved to Brno, now moving to India. This is without the programming done in China.

Where are the jobs we were promised to replace the ones we lost?



As so many countries ban porn, we're pretty safe. Until Tubes hit. Should Dating and Cam sites realise they can get a better job and return with an office of workers in the Third World than bothering with self-employed affiliates. You're job goes.

Not that this will matter. your customer base needs jobs that pay well enough to have enough disposable cash to spend on extras.



And it's getting worse month by month.



Be glad to pay more to keep your scustomer base afloat.
The question wasn't whether or not it will be good for the country, it was if it will make them more expensive. The answer is, yes, it will make them more expensive. As for being good for the country, there are some that say yes it will and others that say it will actually have the opposite effect. I guess we will find out if and when Trump is successful and putting these things into place.
