People complained about mechanical production replacing human labor, but in the long run it meant products were manufactured more efficiently at a lower cost resulting a higher standard of living for all.

Made by machines and made by people is still manufacturing.

So what if the slave labor wages in China mean some low tech manufacturing jobs go there. It frees up Americans for better paying high tech jobs, and the low price China products raise our standard of living. Just like we had our own slaves.

What better paying high tech jobs? And if they weren't moving to India, what do those high paying high tech jobs depend on? High tech equipment. And where is the high tech equipment and/or the components thereof made?
