Oh, let's be real, I don't believe for a hot second that these tariffs would bring these garment jobs back to America, but I am not certainly not going to shed a tear if they pick up and move to another country to avoid the risk and tariffs in China. Why? Because **** China! That's why.
American hasn't had the infrastructure for large scale clothing production for decades.
I recall reading somewhere that only 2% of the garments bought in the United States are actually made here. There are a lot reasons for that and NAFTA is certainly one of them as it did away with many of the duties and restrictions on foreign-made clothes. The garment industry here couldn't compete anymore and shed almost 750k jobs in the last 30 years.
What does NAFTA have to do with China and the trade war with China?
The answer is NOTHING.
NAFTA means North American Free Trade Agreement.
In case you didn't learn it in school, China isn't in North America. The nations in North America are The United States, Canada and Mexico.
NAFTA isn't any part of this trade war with China and has nothing to do with jobs going to Bangladesh from China.
Nothing gets by you, does it? lol. I was talking about *one* of the reasons garment jobs have been shed in this nation over the last 30 years. If you had bothered to follow the conversation instead trying to take me school you would’ve known that. Now kindly take your condescending attitude and shove it up your ass.
I have been following this thread. It's about China, jobs moving from China to Bangladesh and about the tariff war with China.
It has absolutely nothing to do with NAFTA or one of the reasons why garment jobs left America.
You tried to change the subject to NAFTA. I'm trying to get you to not do that.
I'm not going to be as rude as you are, just going to point out how thin skinned you are because I'm right and you don't like to be shown you're wrong.
Get over it.
