They still have a choice in most things, even in textiles and small appliances, the real question is do they care.

Most do not, hence my reference to "gonads". I'm sure they wouldn't like it if I were trying my darnedest to make sure THEIR job was eliminated.

But are they trying to get rid of people's jobs or just shopping with different priorities? I think most people just don't care, they don't pay attention to where something is made or by whom, they want it, it fits their price demands, they buy. I think this is especially true in the low end where the discount retailers live, part of shopping cheap is prioritizing that above other decision points frequently.

And, of course, inside the world of manufacturing everybody is trying to get rid of everybody else's job. That's competition.
