I personally like that he's not appointing idiot nobodies to his cabinet...
I mean I didn't buy into the draintheswamp stuff so it's actually good that he's keeping people that have experience on his team.
it'll be interesting to see how things shake out in the next few years. Like these promises to bring manufacturing jobs back to america and restore the rust belt or whatever...
Those jobs are gone. In the near future they'll be replaced by robotics/automation anyway.

The real point though was that he at least vocalized his intention to try, whereas Hillary did not.
Trump picks Elaine Chao for secretary of transportation.
Because Asian women are the best drivers.
I'm going to be curious to see if companies eventually start to get subsidies for maintaining human workers over machines
a new form of welfare emerging. either that or a universal income. I was re-reading about the rise of automation - apparently scientists over the last 2 years have come into agreement that we are going to start losing jobs due to new technology as opposed to what technology did say in the late 1800s...create a deluge of jobs with not enough bodies.
amram:
in my eyes: he like petraeus but isn't very seriously considering him for a major post, but is angling to put the leaking of national secrets back into the press given he was crucified over it while clinton wasn't.
By The Numbers: The U.S. Has 12 Million Manufacturing Workers; China Has Ten Times That Number -- 114 Million
That's a lot of people who have not yet been replaced by robots. I think there is still plenty of potential to employ many Americans by making products in the U.S.

If more people had higher paying jobs making products instead of burgers, there would be a greater ability to pay for the higher cost products. A lot of decrease in business regulations but in accounting and auditing and the OSHA type stuff (push liability off the business onto...?) for the figured to line up.
People don't always buy cheaper versions. If they did, we wouldn't have expensive name brands. Apple would be out of business.

Maybe..or he doesn't give a fuck.
By most accounts, Petraeus is a fucking boss.. he'd probably be awesome for the position.
