    No, you really won’t.

    The workforce just doesn’t fucking exist. Factory labor struggles to recruit as it is. Half the existing workforce is made up of immigrants, and that’s a conservative estimate.

    As the supply chain starts breaking down it won’t matter anyway, because even with increased demand for American made products, the difficulty we’ll face in basic maintenance because most of what is used is imported is going to become a massive bottleneck.

      Not to mention Trump is also enacting anti-immigrant policies making it even less attractive for immigrants to come in and be part of the workforce that the ruling class desperately needs. This is why I’ve always been saying Trump doesn’t understand capitalism/imperialism.

      Whether intentional or not, we are heading for a re-proletarianization of the labour aristocracy
