So this comment from another thread also sparked this conversation:
In a country preoccupied with social issues, what needs to be done to allow people to earn a fair wage anymore? The cost of living is going up, yet salaries are decreasing. Over half of all Americans now live off the government tit. Corporations are focused on profits, not good products or support, and it could probably be argued this is all about appeasing shareholders and getting executives bigger bonuses. It's cheaper to outsource manufacturing jobs overseas than to hire American workers. The government has essentially just given employers the opportunity to reduce benefits even further via healthcare, and now many companies are starting to dump retirement plans.Secondly, Trump HATES that all these businesses are leaving and we have trade deficits with all these other countries.
Fuck the social issues. How do we, without violating the Constitution, make it attractive to hire Americans, give them good benefits, and make corporations give a fuck if their products are shit?
(For this discussion, let's all just assume that we know the power of the consumer. Stick to just governmental changes.)
