  "text": "> I drive by a crumbling elementary school\n\nBecause state and federal governments refuse to fund schools.\n\n> Then a shuttered barber, pizzeria, and convenience store.\n\nBecause supercuts, pizza hut, and walmart drove them out of business\n\n> Then a shuttered fire station.\n\nAgain, because government doesn't want to fund vital infrastructure.  This is a direct result of reaganomics.\n\n> After that comes the giant factory that made US military dress uniforms from the Civil War until it was shuttered in 2008.\n\nAlmost certainly because a US conglomerate undercut that factories prices and/or bribed (lobbied/donated to) the right people to get a contract to produce the goods.\n\n> There it sits, rotting, open dye pools never remediated.\n\nBecause of an activist supreme court undermining the EPA at every turn and Reagan's political ideology of deregulating and defanging agencies that could have done anything about this.\n\n> has the old shuttered nuclear enrichment facility.\n\nThis one is Clinton's fault, but right on the back of Reagan's policies.  Clinton was basically Reagonomics lite.  \"The era of big government is over\".  Nuclear power should have always been state run, but hey, let's privatize the manufacturing and enriching of the most dangerous elements known to man.  How could it go wrong?  It's not lost on me that the only reason these plants failed is because the high liability of making these materials made them financially infeasible.\n\nI get that \"foreigners took our jobs\" has a nice ring to it, but frankly that's wrong.  Capitalists took your jobs.  Capitalism is entirely about using the cheapest labor to create the most value.  Why do you think every single company is losing their shit about integrating AI into everything?  Because they all imagine how many jobs they can eliminate.  How much more of their profit margin can go to shareholders and not employee salaries.\n\nDeregulation made it easy for capitalists to offshore.  Even a modicum of \"if you sell goods in the US, the place that produces them needs to meet these standards\" would have prevented them from ultimately relying on slave labor to undercut worker salaries.\n\nTariffs are a band-aid.  Penalize companies for using non-union labor.  Penalize them every time they are caught violating US labor laws in other countries.  We don't need tariffs, we need aggressive proworker regulations and trust busting.  Let a company outsource to another country, but require them to pay salaries in those regions equal to US salaries.  Require them to follow minimum wage laws.  And fine the companies (not the countries) triple the savings every time they \"woopsie, we had slaves\".\n\nDo all this with a robust and aggressive enforcement agency who's goals is raising the standard of living for all people.",
