Qute: I said: American workers are the smartest and most productive of any workers in the world and that is a proven fact.


Idiot said: This is silly: the fact that hiring is done elsewhere proves the opposite.


The reason they are hiring elsewheres is for cheap labor.

I gave you a polite way to think about what makes workers "smarter" than others. How many people with a Ph.D. work at assembly lines anywhere in the world? None. Why? Because people are not paid for their intelligence, athletic abilities, unrelated musical talent, etc --- they are paid in proportion to usefulness of what they produce.

To be more specific. If you, an American worker, are ten times more productive (as you put it) than a Chinese one, you should produce ten time more and get a ten times greater salary. But if you are ten times "smarter" and get eleven time more money, you are not worth it. Think about this.

You should learn how to measure usefulness of labor --- then you will know what "cheap" and "expensive" labor is.

You owe me an apology for your unprovoked rudeness.
