There’s a lot of reasons things went off shore. Labor, regulations, taxes, market location. Most of that hasn’t changed for the better.
When you need to call people names you show a lack of confidence in your facts and logic. I’m not for free trade, I’m for understanding and acknowledging reality. And part of the reality you’re not understanding is those jobs are GONE, forever, never coming back, even if there’s more manufacturing (because out here in reality there is actually quite a bit of manufacturing happening in this country) it will be done by machines, not people.
So keep calling people names if you must, but understand all you’re really doing is pointing out that your position doesn’t hold water.
I predict a hot war with China and perhaps Russia during this century. If that comes to fruition all of the “free trade” BS ends when the wartime embargo begins.
Twaddle. Chinese prison-based forced-labor costs, Indian debt-bondage labor costs, and free-trade policies and politics.
Improved access to destitute labor markets is the ONLY reason American financial types drove American mfr's offshore.
Thank you, Bush Family and Carlyle, and your Wall Street investment advisors.
Oh, and they invented the "Peace Dividend" and Attackable America. Anybody want a chunk of that? Help yourselves. We'll be in Monaco.
