Trump needs to take credit for his economic brilliance in these matters (ODT)

Stephen Smith worked at an AT&T call center in Meriden, Connecticut, for over 20 years before the giant telecoms company announced it was closing the city’s three call centers in February 2019.

“At 46 years old, I’m looking for a new job,” Smith said. “They basically told us we either need to move south or lose our job. It was out of the blue. We had no idea.”

These sudden mass layoffs have become increasingly common for workers at AT&T and many other big firms. But it was not meant to be that way.
