A good start is the no tax on tips
I really hate this idea. Waiters in high end fine dining places can make 6 figure incomes on tips. Its absurd to say that a waiter making $100k will have practically zero federal income tax obligation, while someone making the same amount working as an accountant will be paying up to a 22% federal tax rate.
If Trump wants to help service industry people out, raise the standard deduction or something along those lines.

What is the answer? What would you recommend Trump do that completely pulls the rug out from under the Dems and where people in these conditions can say, "The Dems never gave me these options. Only Trump. I'll never vote Dem, again."
Is that even possible?
I don't think learning to code is the answer.
If I was a younger person under age 50 I would learn home remodeling, particularly bathroom remodeling, you can make a lot of money remodeling bathrooms for all the Boomers wanting walk in showers.

No shite Sherlock, ever heard of the planning department?
I was a land developer in Texas and dealing with city planners is like talking to a wall.
All they do is frick things even more

Yeah I don't agree with the tips thing either but at least it's a start.

It used to be a college degree practically guaranteed a middle class living... or so we were lead to believe. Today, college tuition is astronomically high and the degrees that might land you a secure middle class salary are far fewer and further between than they used to be. Trades are highly competitive and oversaturated in many places. They also have to compete with low cost foreign laborers. Meanwhile, we've given over nearly our entire industrial capability - which built the middle class, which won world wars, which pushed us to the top of the economic ladder and re-shaped the world economy - to a communist country for higher stock numbers and cheap shite.
Your arcade worker is the brighter part of the future if something doesn't change. At least he's working. More and more aren't and the homeless keep multiplying.
