A Rather Indicative Trend.

 Statista compiled a report on Trump's reindustrialization efforts: 

While most Americans agree that having more manufacturing in the United States would be better for the country, much fewer U.S. residents could see themselves working in the sector. In a survey by Cato Institute and YouGov, only 20 percent of Americans said that they'd rather work in manufacturing, while 80 percent said that more manufacturing would be good for the country. Only 2 percent of survey respondents said that they were currently working in manufacturing. The discrepancy in replies might stem from the fact that fewer Americans today work in blue color occupations and that a well-paying job in manufacturing would only be an upgrade for this subset of the population as well as potentially some workers in lower paid service jobs. However, even if this is the case, it shows that the majority of the workforce in the U.S. has either moved past manufacturing as a lucrative job option or is otherwise not interested in employment in the sector. Manufacturing plants in the U.S. have in fact reported issues in finding enough suitable workers for some years and say that the problem is getting worse.

It is startling statistics. 

Especially when it comes to cadres who ARE suited for manufacturing jobs. We discussed this problem here (this blog) on a number of occasions, especially as this huge problem is compounded by a new generation's view of such employment as anathema both for the reasons of all kinds of drugs use (smoking pot has become a cultural norm) and modern media culture where this: 

Has been substituted with this. 

The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star feels empowered running her own empire at OnlyFans. It’s why she decided to join her 18-year-old daughter Sami Sheen after she joined the platform first. Being a woman in this business, who has also done sexy roles, I thought, ‘I am going to do it too. I don’t care,’” she told SheKnows in December. “I think it’s important as a woman to do what we want to do and not make decisions on being judged on what other people may think or say.”

Yes, enslutization of American young woman is almost complete, while saturating the culture with military porn, actually, achieves the opposite result in the culture which hasn't been conditioned by the continental warfare. This is not the pool of people capable of going out on the manufacturing floor and learning skills which require a serious intellectual effort, apart from a physical one. Boy, try to explain to a kid who dreams of becoming a "blogger" and "influencer" that "monetization" dynamics even in on-line live porn is radically negative and that understanding the G-Code programming for CNC requires math and concentration. Forget about ethical issue here, which is a whole other thing. 

Meanwhile, a famous Russian retail company Wildberries started to hire ... North Korean women. There is a video now of the first 100 North Korean girls being led to the Wildberries storage. 

Russians like this very much, because North Koreans are disciplined, law-abiding and hard-working people, while for many of them this employment will pay them well-enough to have some much-needed money to send home, even considering the fact that the state will still profit from them. Surely better than "importing", now being severely constricted by the Russian state, many laborers from Middle Asia "stans". This is why Kim was smiling after signing with Vladimir Putin a strategic partnership with Russia.
