President Trump promised to bring jobs back to America in his «America First» and «Make America Great Again» campaigns. That sounds great for the 97% of American employees, but is that at all possible today? Please click on the following link to find out: https://youtu.be/8SqMbz_1lSw
It’s not, unless the United States (US) becomes a real democracy. Therefore, the bigger question that no one is asking is why did the US deindustrialize in the first place?
The US deindustrialized in the 1980’s, because it is not a real democracy. The US is governed for the 3% of Americans who are employers.
In order to avoid paying Americans employees good salaries, US employers moved their industries out of the US. If the US were a real democracy, that would have never happened!
Today, other nations have the resources, technology, infrastructure, and the workforce to provide at the best prices what the US used to provide. US capitalists will never be willing to sacrifice their profits in order to set up the conditions in the US to outcompete their foreign competitors.
If they were, why are 40 million Americans living today in poverty, and another 201 million living from paycheck to paycheck, while 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are Americans too.
And, why have the US consistently ignored 43 United Nations’ (UN) resolutions demanding the immediate return of Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. In the meantime, 6 million Puerto Ricans have abandoned their national territory (gentrification), and half of the 3 million people in Puerto Rico live in poverty too. The UN’s annual Puerto Rico decolonization hearing was on Monday, June 16, 2025.
Make the 97% of Americans first!
