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.
Nursing as a profession has also been watered down by creating subclasses of credentials.
There are Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Personal Support Workers, etc.
Nursing homes in my jurisdiction are literally hiring FOBs off the street with zero credentials and placing them in care roles by pretending there is a labor shortage and refusing to pay even the lowest credentialed PSWs more than a buck or two above minimum wage.
What does FOB mean? Not familiar with that acronym.
