It would be much easier to produce an accurate list of what the Left isn’t lying about.

When a company closes a factory here and builds one in Mexico or China, that is a lost job. When all of our clothing has a label on it 'made somewhere else', that is a job that should be here. When IPhones should be made here and are made somewhere else, that is a lost job. When a Ford, the great American company, makes any of its autos or trucks elsewhere, those are lost jobs.
That missive is papering-over-BS.

I have a fried in HR for a textile company. He told me their equipment is horribly outdated. Profit margin isn’t large enough to afford the new stuff,

Bull. NAFTA and soon the TPP, have and will weaken America, loose more jobs than they create and enrich the establishment politicians in Washington.

Candidates cannot bring jobs and production back from overseas, since they didnt go there in the first place. The fact that the "Made in" labels on the majority of what Americans buy list something other than "USA" easily demonstrates that this assertion is ridiculous nonsense.
North Carolina's textile industry didn't disappear from the state because of robots.

North Carolina’s textile industry came from Massachusetts because it was easier and cheaper to exist in the South than unionized Yankee land.
So, North Carolina lost the business for precisely the same reason as it got it in the first place

And that’s why a combination of tariffs and CGT cuts can bring it back.
Point remains - it didn’t disappear because of “robots.”

No, all the mill machines are gone. I was present to witness the inventory of stuff being crated up and shipped out of the country.
The stuff needed for manufacturing is gone

I witnessed the packing and shipping of a cotton yarn plant from NC to Bangladesh.
It received bales of cotton on one end and spit out yarn on the other. It was state of the art and required a very minimum of people.
There are going to be out of work Bangladeshis as a result of this robot plant coming into operation

It probably also applies to freepers like me for editing the articles so they "fit" on the FR. So far nobody's made a fuss on this one nor on Manufacturing a Crisis so if all goes well for a few hours I may also post Millennials Get Free Trade, Why Doesnt Anyone Else?. Anyone here think I should?

Stuff can be repacked, right?
I mean, it’s not like it’s permanently gravity-locked into place.
