Good jobs

Cognitive dissonance is the discomfort a person feels when their behavior does not align with their values or beliefs. A good example happens when politicians who claim to have the best interest in the working people come face to face with globalization. They spent 40 years transferring the manufacturing jobs to other countries while they claim they were helping the working people. Their behavior, moving jobs to China, directly conflicts with their policy of helping the factory workers. Instead the movement of jobs allowed the rich to become richer while the working person ended up with a low paying job with no benefits. Will all of these people now see the error of their ways and support reshoring. Perhaps they are in denial and feel no discomfort. Perhaps they will say it was the other guy not me.
