making a lot of money wasn't my point.
My point was, back in the 50's, the auto industry was the biggest employer, and people that were doing jobs that have long been replaced by automation, were making middle or above class wages.
Now, Walmart is the biggest employer in America and people are making minimum wages on part time hours.
Trump aint going to change that by bringing back coal jobs, building a pipeline, and ruining the environment, for sake of the fossil fuel industry making more money.
