Folks of your ilk would come here on a daily basis promoting the good that would come from offshore outsourcing. AMERICAN businesses would offshore as much because it was trendy as for efficiency, (in many cases it was LESS efficent).
For you to compare my post, with someone who takes issue with the word “shipping” and it’s use in the vernacular, is much less than I’ve come to expect from you.
Perhaps you are desperate and feel the need to take a jab even though your position is weak? Doesn’t matter, there no longer is a debate. Offshoring has occurred. China is a rising power, the second largest economy in the world, and WILL overtake the US in that measure.
Things are going your way, why the deseration chumley?
No, folks of your ilk come here on a daily basis in order to put words in our mouths. It's utterly boring, and predictable.
Someone asked you how many jobs can fit in a container . . . big deal. Others try to explain why those jobs are being offshored. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is more funny than watching a protectionist play stupid when that happens. But what do you expect, when your solution to the problem is to throw the government at it?
Is there anything in the world a protectionist cannot fix with another government program?
