We need more factories to make stuff

@cherokeepatti Very true! Let's create the jobs to build the factories! Hire LEGAL Americans to build them and work there!
@cherokeepatti people don't want to work in factories. Something like 2.1 million manufacturing jobs will be unfilled through 2030

@SooperSarah Pay more!

@SooperSarah TAKE away welfare payments and food stamps for those who refuse to work
@ShaneMckay pay isn't the issue. And you realize that paying more to produce it means the american made version then costs significantly more than the chinese version. Good luck getting people to pay up.

@ShaneMckay There was a plan for the Mexican-American trade zone with factories located just south of the border to motivate them to stay there and get jobs. I hope that plan still happens, it will if Trump gets back as president

@SooperSarah Oh really? They were working in them when they got shut down and relocated overseas. I imagine if the government removes the teat from people’s mouths they’ll get hungry enough to accept a factory job.
@cherokeepatti all these people graduating with a ton of student loan debt for their masters in liberal arts are too good to work in a factory. The factory I work in pays well with great benefits and we still can't find people.

@SooperSarah well that’s on them, their interest rates are accruing, if they don’t want to work to pay off their loans they don’t need hand-outs. I’d bet they are playing the system every which way they can.
