Scott Bessent: Federal layoffs will help fill factory jobs created by Trump tariffs https://t.co/q2RE8JGYoF

When the bureaucrats are manning the assembly lines, we will enter a time of prosperity in the reorganization. Next on the list, the decadent professors will be removed from their ivory towers and returned to the soil.
Farming?
If they are lucky!
I'm trying to be appropriately glib--I truly don't think we're listening to rational people in this administration. They see things are coming apart and have reached for a tube of strong glue. They then proceed to sniff it.
These are the same folks who will tell you that they foresee the factory pound-y-screw-y types of jobs will be done by robots, and the think-y-talk-y jobs will be done by AI. After all, you could solve most of your labor problems if you just didn't have people doing the labor, which is similar to the problems of voting.
I'm still wondering about the sort of Field of Dreams approach to reindustrialization. If you build an empty space for the factories, will they come?
It has been a long, stupid day. I am very certain these people don't have a good handle on history.
