For me it's kind of arguing 2 points

1: Automation is killing jobs
2: The USA hasn't kept pace with technology

As long ago as 1997, he found at Kodak that, despite a highly-automated production line, the company could not make digital cameras in the US because there just weren't the people with the knowledge to make the parts. In 2009, he co-authored a paper showing the Amazon Kindle could not be made in the US, even though the core technology was developed there.

So for me I 100% agree with the notion of being able to manufacture in the USA or AU. There might be far less jobs in the new world of automation but there should be some jobs... not like what is happening now.
