Donald Trump was elected partly on the promise of a factory renaissance. Made-in-America may come back, but not necessarily in the places that led U.S. manufacturing 80 years ago. #jobs #factories #RustBelt

Andrerseits verscheißt sich's halt #tRump im #Rustbelt der #USA mit seinen Wählern.
Oder habt ihr deswegen Jens Spahn zur Republican convention in the US election 2024 geschickt?

Elogio dell’eccesso / 7 – L’atlante del dolore di William T.

“The story of automation in the US is that it has mostly impacted on manual workers in manufacturing. For example, factory employees — such as carmakers — performing routine tasks have lost their jobs to robots — or lower-cost Asian competitors.
#IndustrialAutomation has tended to affect lower-skilled, #BlueCollar jobs in the “#rustbelt” heartlands and small-town, less-educated communities in the south and midwest.
But a recent study from the #BrookingsInstitution suggests that the communities most exposed to AI-driven job dislocation will be #WhiteCollar information workers. The researchers studied the usage of #OpenAI’s #GenerativeAI tools across more than 1,000 occupations and mapped this against where those jobs were most commonly located.
Their analysis suggests that many #coders, #lawyers, #FinancialAnalysts and #bureaucrats in cities such as San Jose, San Francisco, Durham, New York and Washington DC might want to rethink their futures. But #NonOffice-bound #workers in places such as Las Vegas, Toledo, Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana may be less exposed to AI disruption.”
My observation since 2022 when #ChristopherHohn an influential shareholder decided to *speak out* about “reducing its head count and paying (hi-tech) workers less”. [1]
This is the decade where extreme (cost) pressure will be forced on White collar workers by the introduction of AI.

The #RustBelt - First Impressions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qZDkXNgbwQ&list=WL
Just south of #Pittsburgh, PA is a region known as the #MonValley in the heart of #America's Rust Belt. It was once the epicenter of industry that built the country, a place where people from around the world came to find their opportunities. #Steel and #coal haven't entirely gone away, but the once-prospering towns of the Mon Valley have changed dramatically.
ary, Indiana, was once a symbol of America’s industrial might. One artist believes it’s ripe for rejuvenation. #art #Indiana #rustbelt

This morning at my local beach. I was too late to catch the gorgeous sunrise, but this view is always interesting to me. Always.
Today in Labor History January 20, 1986: Bruce Springsteen's "My Hometown" topped the music charts on this date. The song, a eulogy for dying industrial cities, includes the lines: "Now Main Street's whitewashed windows and vacant stores / Seems like there ain't nobody wants to come down here no more / They're closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks / Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown / Your hometown / Your hometown / Your hometown . . ." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77gKSp8WoRg

This is a travesty, and I would love to find the lessor to tell them to get bent.
