Lol, brilliant analysis and refutation. And if you don't think cheap labor is the main reason plants leave the US for cheap labor nations, then you have ignorance crawling all over you, up and down and all around.
Government has made American labor very expensive. It has done this via taxation, regulation and lawfare (particularly through deep pockets-doctrines). Our education establishment does little to teach the fact that free markets make the consumer king. They teach socialism and so you have the public largely indoctrinated against business and biased in favor of claimants no matter what the facts.
Here’s a true story: a woman who’d worked for a company for 28 years developed MS. She asked for an accommodation under federal law. The corporation didn’t make the accommodation and were in fact pretty unfair with her. They fired her. At the time of her firing her salary was $48 grand a year.
She took the ‘violation’ up with the EEOC. She laid claim to two additional years of pay. What did the company owe her? They were jerks for certain and made little effort to accommodate a person who up until the time of the manifestation of her disease had been a good worker. The EEOC found a violation of federal law and the arbitration granted her $2 million dollars, plus attorney’s fees. The feeling was that they really needed to be punished. Is that a fair settlement?
