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

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.

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