Whaddya think, guys? More "buggy whip" jobs that shouldn't matter anyway? How long before the "if they can't adapt, screw 'em" crowd chimes in? Retraining? Where does a fifty-something factory worker go in a rural area? I know, they should just "move where the jobs are" (i.e., Beijing).

It seems to be the party hacks that show up on every thread regarding these brutal shuts downs and lose of our businesses.

The feds will step in with some idiotic retraining plan, and after a month or two, these folks will fade into the background like much of the middle class and go apply at the nearest Wal-Mart to sell Chinese goods.
