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.

You can’t be that f-ing stupid? So according to you a made in the USA a widget costs $20 and made in the 3rd world $5? LOL. You are saying per widget, the cost of labor is $15 of per US made widget? So it takes 1 hour to make one $20 widget? Where the F did you go to school?
