Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Revamping our entire approach to education, energy, and job training so people are qualified for the more tech-oriented jobs that are in demand and do pay a solid wage. (There's a lot more than that, but I don't feel like typing another how to save the country essay).
The answer is technological innovation and exploiting foreign people.
But realistically, there are some Asian nations that have the jump on us.. after we lose the number one spot we won't regain it due to a joke of an education system and demonic media that over-saturates the youth with BS values and a numb mentality.
I'll just leave this here ....
So even if manufacturing comes back to the U.S., robots will be taking over the intensive labor aspect from humans ... and humans will be those with higher level technical or engineering skills to oversee the robots... according to the article.
There is a good book i think everyone should read called the coming jobs war.
The us has been ahead on every technological revolution for the last 200 years. Much like when agricultural economy fizzled out, industrial economy came in...we are in that transition right now....we are a post industrial service and information economy, we dont have to make products persay but we do need to be ahead of the revolutions which we aren't...our education system is built for working a factory...you can count, you can read you can pull this lever and make a living. Shyt is automated now so those jobs are in decline.
I think that next tech revolution honestly will be/is robots. My current job utilizes robots, not c3po's but roboic arms and machines.
For us to stay ahead the whole education system should be revamped...there are things that cant quite be automated easily and i suggest that those become the skills that schools teach if overpriced ass college isnt the answer.
Honestly and people may disagree, hell im not even completely sure if i know its the answer, but i think after 8th grade kids should enter into a trade...mechanic, nursing, painting, masonry, networking, programming, engineering, etc...the more complex skillsets you goto college but for the majority i think they can be learned in them last 4 years of high school.
I think this will reenergize folks to stay in school because its actually practical work, and it will reinvigorate people to tolerate dealing with these bad ass kids.
