I don’t remember saying anything about shutting down factories here or globalism, the unions have done a GREAT JOB at that.
In fact I have a big problem with globalism, as I’ve posted here, because a country like China could simply cut off our supply of a few key components and within 6 months every tractor less than 20 years old would be inoperative because due to the inability to replace broken parts. Same for our military. I have a HUGE PROBLEM with globalism - we don’t need china in the critical path for literally everything that has electronics in it...which is just about everything.
I also see unions as what drove our manufacturing base out of this country and the BIGGEST PROBLEM in bringing it back. If you don’t believe me, talk to people like my brother that have had to SHUT DOWN large factories ONLY because of union intransigence - not because China was cheaper, but because Honda could make cars without a union and GM cannot.
