The “real time” host Bill Maher He challenged one of the central arguments of President Trump as he paid a tariff war among several countries.
“I have one basic question: Why do we want to restore production?” Maher asked his panel on Friday. “That’s the 1970s, you know? I mean, that ship sailed. You know, there are countries that make jeans for $ 11. We will never be that country again.”
“China is moving in AI times and wants to return to production, which, by the way, if you create new jobs, who will take them? Robots,” Maher continued. “It is who will take them anyway! It repeats itself as if the progress itself was awakened. And no one spoke no more against noisy bulls — from me, but the progress was not awakened. We crossed at another time.”

The associate of MSNBC, and I agreed, saying that “AI Revolution will completely increase it” and make the “outdated” production affairs. However, a free print columnist Batya Ungar-Sargon “People want to come back in the 70s” is claimed because of how strong the middle class was at the time.
“In the 70’s, the biggest share of our GDP was in the middle class. And it was not separate from the fact that 25% of our economy was in production,” Ungar-Sargon said. “Now, the first 20% controls more than 50% of GDP. Our economy was a rise flow of wealth, and the highest share, which was once in production, which gave many middle-class people, and now is the biggest share of real estate and finances, which means that they received over 50% and those who were from GDP.

“Production is still being done. This is done only in other countries,” she emphasized.
“We won’t work for salaries,” Maher interjected.
“That’s right, Bill,” Ungar-Sargon replied. “The tariffs are for that. They will make American workers more competitive in the global market. Why do we accept that there should be a race to the bottom? You know, China, what is his competitive advantage over us? This is that he pays the salary of slaves. Why should we accept this?

After repeating Trump’s argument that the outsourcing of the key goods “national security” for the US, Ungar-Sargon told Maher that “it is really important that we have a stake in the production of things we need as a nation, so when China decides to go to war against us, not to fight them.”

“Okay, at least that’s the answer,” Maher replied. “And you think it will come out like that? We will go through this ‘transitional period-‘
“Who is so upset?
“Well, a lot of people,” Maher pushed out. “Even people who are not rich … people have 401k-“
“This is a class war on behalf of the working class by our president,” Ungar-Sargon added.
