No. He’s a survivor. When the industry dies is he supposed to just cash it in?

No industries that moved to the slave labor world were dying. That is myth. All it took was to make a few MORE cents on the dollar and it was screw the USA hello commies. The man deals with commies in a daily basis and has no problem with that.

There are 22 Right-To-Work states to move to also. He is a traitor and I hope he never comes back.

You got it backwards. The promise of free traders was that Americans would have the advantage of technology (robots and the like) and use advanced technology to compete against cheap foreign labor competition. Well in the meantime both Republicans and Deomcrats opened the borders to cheap immigrant labor. This cheap labor undercut our businesses who would have otherwise invested in technology like Scot now sees in Chicago. The concept of free trade is sound. Unequal application to the rules is a problem. Illegal immgration is unfavorable to America. The Value Added Tax applied to American goods while at the same time we do not put an equivalent tarrif on foreign goods is another unfavorable practice. Thank your trade negotiators from both parties for our screwing.

It’s not all about labor rates. It’s about regulation. OSHA, EPA and taxation of captital. Industries like plastic injection molding and metal stamping were disfavored in all these areas and year after year became less competitive on a world scale. I lived it as a machine tool distributor. Every year I lost customers as more of them went out of business and the remainders downsized.
