Protest
This is a headline from NPR
May Day protestors will rally nationwide against the war on working people.
Anti-Trump protesters have expressed a range of concerns regarding the administration's recent actions, including the elimination of thousands of federal jobs, immigration raids, and billionaire Elon Musk's involvement in downsizing the U.S. government.
This article emphasizes the federal government not the private sector. It is the private sector (manufacturing jobs) that has been devastated by globalization over the past 50 years. This is what Trump is trying to reverse but it is not being well received by the establishment groups, who want to maintain the status quo. Trump is trying to bring back the millions of jobs that were offshored by big businesses trying to increase profits at the expense of the working people. Government employees have not felt the sting of these lost manufacturing jobs and would like to keep things has they have been. The country is undergoing a metamorphosis as these industrial jobs are coming home. This is pro labor and unions welcome this change of direction. American workers will once more be making products here in this country for American consumers. This will mean high paying jobs much like was the case in the 1950’s where wages increased by 4% while inflation rose by only two percent. Reshoring will revitalize the unions. Increased worker benefits will raise prices but new factories using the latest technology along with AI will lower cost. The protestors are using the cover of government layoffs to hide the real agenda which is deporting illegal migrants.
