What car is being made in China and sold here?

Parts of every car.

And what companies are making cars in Mexico for sale here?

As far as my “kid” working at a factory with no OSHA, yes.



No kidding.

If you look at the rate of death and injury on the job before OSHA and after OSHA, you will find that the rate of decline (increase in safety, if you will) DID NOT CHANGE.

So your argument is that OSHA did not improve worker safety? Are you sure?

Should I go on about some of the hyper stupidity of EPA or do you get my point?

I ask again, you would live downstream from a Chinese factory?

I said “What car is being made in China and sold here?”

Your answer: “parts of every car.”

That wasn’t the question, but OK, I’ll play along. Name three parts on either of MY cars that are from China. Ought to be easy, as they came from one of your “third world countries”: Japan. One is a 2005 Mazdaspeed MX5, the other is a 2007 Mazda 3. (Which by the way were built when Ford owned controlling interest in Mazda, so guess where the profits went?) Gee this car origin stuff gets complicated, doesn’t it?

“So your argument is that OSHA did not improve worker safety?”

That is EXACTLY my argument.

You are being ridiculous.

The conditions you show in the first picture were gone many decades before OSHA came along. The picture shows what appears to be a young girl working in a textile mill. THAT situation was addressed through child labor laws.

Your second picture has no point.

Do you really believe the only way anything good happens is with a government bureaucracy?

And for your “link” RE Mexican car factories, I see Ford, GM and Chrysler. All of those are “American” companies I am supposed to buy from in order to be a true blue American.

Are you a DU plant?

Union thug?

Communist?

Just wondering.
