Offshoring can make sense if you want 24/7 development with the onshore team working with an offshore team, but not when you replace the entire onshore team with the offshore team.
If you mean that one can trade a service economy for a manufacturing economy and claim it’s a plus, then yes, it is a faulty assumption. But one cannot have a manufacturing economy without a service economy, so I wouldn’t go as far as to claim that providing services is necessarily a subsidiary function of producing goods.
If being for American jobs and American workers is “leftist”, then “conservatives” as thus defined - those who are against American workers, will well and truly vanish from American politics.
The GOP should not. Must not. Be the party, of firing Americans!
That’s just stupid. It’s horrible politics, and it’s bad for America.
AMERICA FIRST.
Common sense. One needs not be an overeducated economist of a union activist to see that.
In the heyday of American excellence, there was a healthy mixture of both. No sane, aware person can argue that a service component of any economy is not necessary.
“Another idiot who would like americans to be less productive by keeping disfunctional manufacturing jobs here in the states just so corporations could “employ” people.”
I’m trying to figure out what is wrong with having jobs in this country so that people could be employed.
Isn’t this how most people pay the mortgage and put food on the table? What about you, are you a trust fund baby?
No problem having jobs, but do we want to keep making buggy whips? Labor intensive jobs have left for two factors. Competitive forces and human labor costs in the final product and a new generation that is averse to working in factories. The American labor force cannot be rigid to one job type. You must improvise and be able to be retrained for alternative jobs.There is no choice in that. Gone are the days when you could walk into the door of the Rambler auto company and expect to work there for 25 years. The names of companies that no longer are could fill a Manhattan phone book.
"American power is on the precipice, about to fall. Perhaps it is a good thing. The world will be rid of bullying, of invasions of innocent countries based on blatant lies, of torture and murder of woman and children, of redistribution of income from the poor to the rich. The criminal record accumulated by the United States makes it the least indispensable country on earth." - Article
I'm all for American jobs, but when you talk about America like he did in the above paragraph, he has clearly been drinking the lefist coolaid.
Apparently.
You are so right. We all steal from the poor b/c that’s where the money is.
Maybe they grew up in the same lead paint house?
Economic theory has been shattered because there is no longer any connection between the profits of American companies and the welfare of Americans.
Where are the profits of American companies going if not to the American's that own these companies. He takes nonsensery to new heights.
Local, state, and Federal governments have worked hard to generate the current level of unemployment. More government meddling is the problem, not the solution.
LOL! Pica twins separated at birth?
The criminal record accumulated by the United States makes it the least indispensable country on earth.
Yikes! Hey Rude, where do you find this stuff-- and he gets paid to for these rants?
