Big business remind me of locusts at times. The only standards they have is that they have no standards

The USA is grotesquely over-regulated - and there is very little political support for correcting that. Vietnam is too small. India is too far. Mexico is too corrupt. Brazil under Bolsonaro would be a possibility - under Lula, forget it.

Producing goods anywhere just isn't so easy, any more. Expect indefinite inflation.

Sure, there are evil companies. But in general I don’t blame big business much.

Let’s say there are American companies that make widgets. Their factories are in the USA. They all sell widgets for around $20 apiece. Company #20 decides to move its factories to China.

Company #20 can now sell its widgets for $5 apiece. The quality isn’t quite as good as the ones made in America. But it’s good enough.

The other 19 companies now have a choice. Move to China, or go bankrupt.

It’s not up to business to solve this problem. It’s up to the government. And as others here have noted, that won’t be an easy task.

Cut welfare off completely to the people who should be working.

In Taiwan they train disabled people for whatever job they can do. For example blind people are taught massage and they are pretty good at it.

Sorry. In post#24 it should read:

Let’s say there are 20 American companies that make widgets.

RE: India is too far.

So is China, but we used them. So, why not India?

“Can Any of These Countries Replace China as the Factory of the World?”

Well, the US certainly cannot replace China, unless it first does away with its labor unions. Beyond that, the US also has to deal with Leftists who make it next to impossible to do business in this country.

“CO2 produced by white people is bad.
CO2 produced by non whites is okay.
Understood?”

I wish that were the case, but as far as I can see, the MAIN REASON the Neocons and Globalists are teasing WW3 is to bring Russia to heel, so they STOP selling their hydrocarbons to the rest of the world. Similar with China, to get them to stop burning coal and turn back the clock on their development to a ‘more sustainable’ (i.e., poverty) level.

And, assuming that Neocons/Globalists somehow manage to succeed with Russia/China without wiping out 90% of humanity in the process, then the rest of the world will be powerless to stop them.

And if they wipe out 90% of humanity trying to take down Russia and China - same result, far less use of hydrocarbons and when they emerge from their bunkers, so they’ll also consider themselves successful.

Uranium, oil, minerals, coasts on two oceans, a religious population, plenty of sun for solar... the only excuse Mexico has for not being one of the richest nations on the planet is their government.

I was just being my usual smartass self.

On a serious level, a lot of situations that are arising do not portend well.

Globalists/NeoCons want war and they’ll get it.

Why “replace”? It’s more like “supplement.” India, Southeast Asia (with Indonesia and The Philippines), Brazil, and various countries in Latin America are all possibilities for more manufacturing, but the US also has to get into the act. It was stupid to think that we were going to go on designing everything when we stopped being where things are made.

Cheap energy from abundant natural gas would provide a major competitive advantage for the US, especially in industries that are energy intensive.

India is almost twice as far by ocean from West Coast container ports. We can and already do use them, but it won’t be cheap.

The reason? Most right wingers are DEVOUT Free Traitors™. The though of repatriation of industry is an anathema to them, economic heresy.
