I may whine, cry, piss, and moan about the plight of the state of American industry, but what can one do to reverse to the exodus of work and technology, and the brain drain out of the US?
How do we compete with first world knowledge, that is being paid with third world wages?

If I were you I wouldn’t agonize over it too much. It’s an important issue, but a lot of what is discussed here is pretty much the inevitable consequence of living in a powerful nation with a very high standard of living. Eventually you reach the point where you realize you can have a lot of people working or you can have a very high standard of living, but you probably can’t have both.
