Which everything you just said is encompassed by one flaw that is almost impossible to fix. Our (at least in the US) profit driven mentality, and fuck you I got mine. We will cut off our nose to spite our face in the name of profit making. We will create social programs to essentially subsidize paychecks to help people who don’t make enough to survive working 2 or 3 jobs (and then complain about those very same social programs impact on our taxes) because profits. Then we’ll move these companies to other countries in the name of profits. Then we’ll allow small businesses to get squashed by larger businesses because profits. Then we will gladly allow our retirements to be inextricably tied to the profits of these very same larger companies by giving our money back to them in our 401k’s, IRAs which creates demand for … more profits.
So no, it’s not just a jobs issue. That’s just a symptom of the larger issue. Now queue the “you’re just a dirty communist/socialist” retorts.
His brain probably fried while trying to analyze a complex political/economic/cultural issue in a critical way instead of swallowing the nice and simple republican propaganda

Most welfare is for wealthy and corporations who privatize profit and socialized loss, but it’s seldom discussed with any real vigor.
