I absolutely understand the value of a country being able to produce its own materials, but one thing I’ve always question is how many people, man or woman is actually willing to work these positions once they get back to the US.
Most of why they were outsourced is because corporations can pay (or not pay) people in third world countries much less than they can Americans, but how do you convince companies to open these mines and factories in the US, and how do you convince these companies to actually play their employees first world wages? A lot of the regulations we have in place in terms of operating mines is because of corporations cutting corners, intentionally hiding the health risks until they were unavoidable and similar actions, so it’s just something I honestly can’t wait to see how it actually comes into action.
Plumbers and electricians get bitches, bro. It’s the seemingly no skill construction jobs that just need some PR.
The handsome, owns-his-own-business, general contractor love interest is absolutely a female fantasy archetype.
I agree. There are exceptions. My niece married a plumber. I'm talking as a whole though.
I would certainly encourage my daughter to marry a tradesman. There's a lot to be said for guaranteed, long term, stable work, even if it's not glamorous.
And you KNOW if you're a woman your man will be able to fix shit. From a practical standpoint that's ez $$$$ saved.
