Nope. I’m simply pointing out reality. America is a terrible place to do business, especially something with a serious footprint like a factory.

Here’s a thought experiment: let’s say you wanted to build a factory. And you have 2 choices of where to build it. In one place you will spend a minimum of 5 years wrangling through the courts with environmental impact studies, and spotted owl hunts, and zoning issues and every other nuisance possible before you can even break ground at a cost of millions. In another place for a “fee” of about 1/10 that you can break ground in 6 months, no lawsuits, no studies, no BS, your factory will be up and running for 4 years before place 1 will even let start.

Given those two options where do you build your factory?

The problem isn’t who loves or hates America. The problem is who America loves and hates. And modern America hates business of any and all kinds. Our government and people specifically hamper industry, we crush expansion, we reroute water, we desperately look for any lizard that might be affected and cancel the project. Pretty much the only part of your post that’s accurate is labeling it disgusting. It is disgusting how much effort we as a country put into killing businesses and then bitching they don’t hire enough people.

It is my contention you could take away ALL regulations, taxes and unions and the anti American Free Traitors would still move their factories over seas.
