The Carrier Myth 

Oh crap, I took automation for granted. It's become some embedded into me that I forgot that this was a factor. Thanks to you guys my vision have been partly defogged

When someone shows you their true face, BELIEVE THEM.

First Atlantic video I've seen in awhile that's kept me engaged.

Great video!

The reason McDonalds has been slow to automate is because labor price has been reasonable, when a company is trying to compete with the Pacific rim and stay in USA, they must automate. So again the trade deals are driving Automation beyond what it otherwise would be. Business simply responds to the market and our markets are in part created by trade deals. Trump can not create the glory days of the 1950;s but he can and I think will create a much more secure labor force through 1) protectionist trade and 2) limits the flood of immigration which drives wages down for the few remaining jobs.
