Those jobs are the crap jobs, the slave jobs. the didn’t ‘leave’, they only exist because of new tech, new tech that depends on horrible conditions for the workers. No one is going to want to work like many of those Chinese slaves, where they have to have suicide nets, where they get rousted out of bed at any hour to start making something because Apple changed a design.

But if we expand our economy the NEW jobs, many of which don’t even exist yet, will be created here and stay here. All it’s going to take is getting government off the back of industry and innovation.

I don’t think either of us want to work for Foxconn for 2 bucks an hour 16 hours a day with no O.T to build Iphones and Garmin GPSs, but oh how I wish I was a younger man and could start a degree in petroleum engineering or mining tech.

Or like me, 30 years in ancient computer programming and now learning how to develop in the cloud. It's very exciting!
