"Hostile to working whites...."
"Terrible for the working class...."
As mentioned in the previous article, Automation has hurt our blue collar workers more than trade. Whether that statement is true or not, I can't say. I'm not saying Globalism is perfect, either, but the positives seems to get lost in the bumper-sticker hysteria. As for tying human rights to trade deals, that seems superfluous in an economic discussion.
Our poorest states in the US have actually benefited from Global investment, just as much as the Botswanans have, (and maybe that embarrasses our Populists, I don't know):
Kentucky
International companies in Kentucky employ 137,500 U.S. workers. Approximately 73,900 of those jobs are in the manufacturing sector. With 685 international companies in the Bluegrass State, global investment grows Kentucky's economy. Discover how global investment is growing Kentucky's economy and providing high-quality jobs in local communities.
Tennessee
International companies in Tennessee employ 198,700 U.S. workers. Approximately 93,400 of those jobs are in the manufacturing sector. With 839 international companies in the Volunteer State, global investment grows Tennessee's economy. Discover how global investment is growing Tennessee's economy and providing high-quality jobs in local communities.
And on and on....
