They also didn’t (and still don’t) want to hear that those manufacturing jobs aren’t coming back. In part because manufacturing has become a smaller and smaller part of our economy and in part because of automation. It’s one of the things that confused me about the debates this week - everyone kept talking about bringing jobs back and creating more manufacturing jobs, and I kept wondering who is going to work those jobs when we have such low unemployment and a service based economy. It just seems detached from reality.

Yeah I don’t either. Our economy is in transition. This isn’t the economy of the 50’s.
