As computer productivity eliminates jobs, as jobs are sent overseas, as labor shifts into unnecessary production of luxury goods and service, the labor situation has changed. As an example, since the COVID precautions kicked in, I have cooked my own meals, and have spent less on my hobbies.
I do anticipate that Trump's tax cuts for the elites will be changed to get out of the economic downturn caused by COVID. I do anticipate that more essential stuff, such as recently PPE and ventilators, will understandably be required to be built locally so nations will be less dependent on one another.
Competing with populations willing to endure environmental degradation, low wages, poor benefits and autocratic governments working hand in hand with the elites will be hard. Tariffs on nations who feature these things striving to use the US market are likely. The key is that the elites use the low wage low benefit, poor environment environments for making a profit. If you want to accept campaign contributions to benefit the elites as the establishment Republicans have through the unraveling, you's have to change.
