Maybe it does those things. But clearly it doesnt do “nothing but” those things. It brings manufacturing back which is the entire point. I really think you’re ignoring the whole point to go off on a highly partisan political tangent.

If the point is to bring back manufacturing salaries in the quantity and amount previously available, it's not the entire point.

It is completely unsurprising to me that those making this nonsense claim never accept the burden of proof. If they did, it would only further reveal that they are pushing total bullshit.

I don’t understand what you are trying to say but “bringing manufacturing back” is the starting premise. He already begets bringing it back.

Its not that automation necessarily brings back manufacturing, its that if it does its not only going to increase social and political division.
