I worked in the retail; it is the shittiest job I ever had. I was given an abnormal schedule: two days closing, one day opening, one mid shift (and I should work either Saturday or Sunday). The churn is really high: people leave even if they find a better yet shitty job. Which jobs do you want to create in US? Retail jobs or manufacturing jobs?

This is a false dichotomy. Creating manufacturing jobs doesn’t mean there are no retail jobs. We should have both. Different people have different preferences. Even the same person at different times in different situations. Why limit ourselves to one option?
