I like how the summary of the vid is "we can't find jobs it's too hard, you are an asshole for not recognizing that"
Actually, a better description of the summary is that the Baby Boomer generation has the gall to complain about millenials, while the baby boomers were responsible for the factors that have skyrocketed national debt levels due to unsustainable tax regimes, housing market explosion and subsequent crash which tanked the global economy, outsourcing of the jobs with high pay/pension/benefits which the boomers now complain millenials aren't taking (despite the fact that they're gone), and also continual policies that favor economic growth over environmental stability.
The video authors forgot to mention one of the biggest problems millenials face today: the few really good jobs that the boomers got with virtually no education are now still held by the boomers, because their debt levels are also insane and they can't afford to retire due to the economic havoc they've wreaked.
Yes, I have met some very entitled millenials - but I also notice that the Baby Boomer generation takes no responsibility for the consequences of their policies that have royally screwed their children.
Hipsters driving their foreign-built hybrid cars and talking and texting on their Chinese-built iPhones complain about outsourcing. Hilarious. They have no problem buying foreign when it comes to their shiny gadgets, but condemn their parents for doing the same thing with labor?
How about instead of pointing fingers we work to make the Western world competitive again at manufacturing? It can be done...
The problem is, this is just a small case, and not super repeatable. For instance, Tesla opened a plant in Texas or something with 2,500 workers. Sounds great, right? Compare that to the amount of workers auto factories USED to require. It's a drop in the bucket.
Lots of production IS coming back to the US, but most of it is coming back to automated factories. The fact of the matter is that widespread, low-skill, low-education labor is being replaced by machines, and no amount of name-calling is going to bring it back, at least not on the scale that we "need" it to be. There is simply not enough planet.
That being said, as fuel prices rise, you are going to see more production come back to the US, as the cost of overseas shipping gets prohibitive to our current model of global production.
