Donald Trump campaigned thru Pennsylvania and the industrial Midwest with a populist message. He praised American workers and pledge to bring back all sorts of jobs.
Then he picks as Sec Labor Andrew Puzder.
Andy enthusiastically supports rep[lacing workers with robots,
"They’re always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there’s never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex or race discrimination case,”
Andrew also, as CEO of Hardees called his own workers "The best of the worst".
How do you see this guy representing the best interests of the working man.
I don't see abunch of robots going to work in the rust belt as an answer to their prayers.
I'd be interested to know.

(WASHINGTON) — President Donald Trump's choice for labor secretary is CEO of a fast food empire that is outsourcing jobs, a stark contrast with Trump's scathing attacks on companies that send jobs overseas.
A filing with the Department of Labor and Trump's criticism of outsourcing could be raised at Andrew Puzder's confirmation hearing, with Democrats questioning how well he can advocate for workers.
Puzder's company, CKE Restaurants Inc., notified the government in August of 2010 that it was outsourcing its restaurant information technology division to the Philippines. Doing so, the agency found, "contributed importantly" to the layoffs of both CKE employees and those of an outside staffing firm at an Anaheim, California facility. The agency's finding made workers eligible for federally funded benefits meant to dampen the impact of globalization on employees.

I guess the trumpers aren't going to weigh in.
Oh well, we aren't missing much.
It would likely start with something silly like, "Well Obama, Blah blah"
