Retail Jobs are vanishing

I was reading this NYtimes article about rural communities that were hit by steel mill closings, and are now being hit by the loss of retail jobs:

I'd like to think I have a stable job, but in this environment of constantly changing technology and corporations cutting costs; you never know. Being uncertain about your job is just the reality of being of working age and living in the U.S. at this moment in time. And now, we, the struggling masses, have to worry about Trumpcare. It didn't surprise me about the people portrayed in the NY times article:  "The county voted overwhelmingly for Mr. Trump", but the question is; will they hold Trump accountable for all the promises of "good jobs"?

If the results of the Georgia special election are any indication, I'm not so sure. Also, people who will lose their jobs, like the ones portrayed in the story, would benefit from medicaid in case of illness or Obamacare subsidies if they're between jobs. But it's because of how this particular county voted that all of it's in jeopardy: elections have consequences as they say (and people voting against their interests: clichéd but true nonetheless).

So whenever I start to feel hopeful about the future (despite our government seemingly voting against our interests), there are always news days like today to keep me in check.
