The assumption that everyone who worked in manufacturing would get retrained and work in technology was always insane. A very large percentage are suited to hands-on activity oriented work, not sedentary days.
The other assumption that's insane is that lower-income people will find other employment when they can be replaced by invaders and other cheap foreign labor.
What's happening without these jobs being held by US citizens is planners striving for good conclusions from bad premises. The logical side of me cringes.
It however doesn’t change that China is a closed society with more than a billion people, who now export a huge portion of America’s goods right back to us.
Making China stronger, and America weaker.
China isn’t like America. Americans cannot buy land in China. Yet Chinese can buy land in America.
Everything is biased in China’s favor. That must change.
Or America will simply collapse.
We cannot continue to send American industry to China.
Bring back American jobs.
Back to America.
