Howard Nutlick continues to show what an idiot he is

In an interview with CNBC last month, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick talked about the progress the Trump administration has made so far in reshoring key manufacturing. Lutnick said the U.S. needs to cut its reliance on foreign manufacturing for national security and economic progress.

‘Jobs of the Future'

Asked how the U.S. would secure the workforce needed for manufacturing, Lutnick said community colleges need to start training people for "jobs of the future" based on a "new model" where American families would work in major manufacturing plants.

When asked about the potential impact of automation and robotics on manufacturing, Lutnick said that even highly automated plants need humans to operate and fix equipment.

"What you're going to see is a highly automated plant that employs three thousand people per plant," he said. "You’ve got to remember these plants, all these automated arms and stuff. They need to be fixed. They all need a technician to fix them."
