Try paying drunken UAW goons ridiculous salaries to not work for a few years.
Then see if you will still claim that it’s not about unions.
Yes. Quite right.
Right. Got that part from the title.
Still.
We really need to stop this death dance we are fighting with unions in America.
Literally, we are destroying our nation. Some seem, to actually want that.
Why are jobs being outsourced?
Because Mexicans, Chinese, & billions of others in the world will work for jobs that pay far less than they do in America while not demanding 30 days vacation, 10 days sick, being paid for time spent in the bathroom, and demanding that someone hired to put bolts on CANNOT also put the nuts on the bolts.
You want to keep jobs in America with the above rules in place then you must go all over the world and convince the rest of the world those rules are best for them also. Good luck with that one.
Sheese.
Could you please offer a bit more hyperbole?
Thanks in advance,
“Free trader”.
I don't like unions, but this isn't the issue here.
Swedish company with plants all over the world closes two in the U.S. and opens one in Mexico. Clearly, the blame lies at China’s feet.
So you support America’s dismemberment at the hands of globalists?
Because that is what is happening right in front of your eyes, and you are so locked in old ways of thinking you cannot even recognize that our nation, faces the end of our every existence.
We need to start looking out for AMERICA FIRST.
Free Trade = Freedom. Why should anyone stop private individuals from doing business elsewhere. I better not catch you buy anything from China, because you’re a traitor, and don’t complain thats its the cheapest option available. Obviously when it came to your own pocket, you pick freedom, but when it came to someone else’s pocket, you want government to force them to buy American only
Unions are forcing companies to move in order to survive. They are corrupt, and unwilling to face the reality of life in this century.
True, now let’s get back to supporting all of those bonuses this move makes possible.
It isn’t the business community fighting the death dance; it is the Unions not seeing the forest for the trees. They (Unions) must honestly believe that the rest of the world will follow their idea that 30 days vacations, 10 days sick, being paid for time spent in the bathroom, and not allowing someone hired to put bolts on cannot also put nuts on the bolts...
When we have several billion people working to produce the goods that just a billion can afford, expect the worst.
I suppose your solution is to take the wealth of the billion and give it to the several billion making the goods, but then who would buy the goods....or you raise the wages of the several billion to the point that not even the wealthier billion would buy the goods.....
Sheese.
Ask the unions to do that. They’d rather companies died than give up their control.
I still use an Electrolux vacuum that my father bought in 1968. Works as well now as ever—amazing suction unmatched by any of the plastic Chinese crap in stores today.
Another way to look at it is, 500 More families going to lose their homes, well a certain % will.
You’re under the wrong impression that this is a one way street. That China benefit while US suffer. When trade is done voluntarily, both side benefit
There is no need for a pro-American trade policy to play favorites or pick winners and losers.
A single, across the board 100% import tariff on everything from everywhere, would do it. And the revenue would be exactly the same as America’s current tax confiscation - allowing a tariff to replace all other taxation. Income taxes. Sales taxes. Corporate taxes. Cap Gains taxes - all of it.
Come to think of it, that would be picking winners:
AMERICANS.
Electrolux in MN has a largely Islamic night and possibly day shift with Somalis. They have prayer breaks to pray to Allah. I hope the company goes out of business. Their competitor GE (NBC/CNBC/MSNBC) loves China and Islam too.
Thank open borders and a news media and ALL of TV including Fox supporting Hussein and Islam.
