Why make tires in Oklahoma for a hundred bucks when you can in Mexico for 19.99?

A Big Mac meal is now about 18 bucks....

Think hard

I remember when Yugoslavia produced most of the European tires. Now it's Serbia. Most every major manufacturer makes tires there.
It's always been the low labor cost thing.

Yes, offshoring never occurred before Biden.

With unions striking for higher wages, I imagine we will see more.

Serbia was in Yugoslavia when it was still a country.

Wait. I thought Trump’s biggest accomplishment in his first year was renaming NAFTA to USMC. Or is that a lie now? It’s so hard to keep up with the ever changing claims on Trump’s presidency.
