So we want to bring manufacturing back to America.

[SavannahMann]

We hear all the time how the Right is going to bring the jobs back. Back from overseas. Where thanks to trade deals, it’s cheaper to manufacture, package, ship and then distribute the items from other nations, than it is to just make it here.

Ok. Tell me this my friends. Who wants these jobs brought back to America?



Nobody would go to work in some abandoned building that was taken over. Nobody would allow anyone to go to work in a place that is a Dust Initiator explosion waiting to happen. There was literally not one single step involved in that entire process that wasn’t hazardous to your health.

So tell me again, how does this work? It would cost you ten times as much to manufacture the same stupid balls in the United States, minimum.

I think you are right. Most on the left would rather stay home in the basement then actually have a productive job. It only makes sense to bring jobs to those that actually want to work

1. We understand that this would lead to higher consumer prices.

2. I like that you admit that the current status quo means that you get cheap prices so that rich assholes can have underpaid workers working in unsafe conditions and dying, so that they can have nice profits and you can have cheap shit.

Yeah tennis balls are vital to national security ....

The idea was that lower level manufacturing like that would go elsewhere, and we would build stuff like Jet Planes and computers.


But, other countries want those higher end jobs too. And they are competing for that, with aggressive trade policy.


While we talk shit about Free Trade and training, and keep brining in immigrants to do the ever decreasing number of high tech manufacturing jobs anyways.

americans have the greatest work ethic in the world and that still applies today.

No, you won’t pay more. That is how the manufacturing got moved from the country in the first place. You won’t pay more. Want to know how I can tell?

Search results for query: Gas prices

Because the Right can’t stop wailing and gnashing their teeth about gasoline prices.

So no, you won’t pay more.

 

[SavannahMann]

And the workers in that factory make in a day what the average American worker expects to make in an hour.

Do you really want me to laugh out loud at that? Or do you want to just slink off and pretend you never said it?

I don’t see the Right Wing lining up to pick vegetables for a few cents an hour. I don’t see the Right Wing signing up to work menial labor jobs for minimum wage, maybe.

 

[initforme]

American workers should receive per hour what those workers make per day.

Productivity is tied to wages. More wage more productivity. Less wage is less productivity.

I don’t see many on the left getting out of the basement to work any job. I did see them creating a lot of chaos during the pandemic and killing a lot of people with their idea of the right way to do things.
But oh well

Capitalism is about spending as little as you can to get as much as you can.

That is the reality.

Big difference between paying more because we moved jobs back to here, and paying more because we stop drilling here.

No. You won’t pay more. Ford and GM moved factories to Mexico. Why? Because it was the only way to stay competitive. Saturn was a GM product in a Right to Work state. Where is it now?

You won’t pay more. IBM started the PC market. And were undercut by every single upstart company. Where is IBM now? Gone. History.

Gateway offered quality with higher prices. Gateway is gone.

You won’t pay more. Because people rarely do. The only time they do is to show off. They’ll buy a Rolex watch. But only if they can flash it every fifteen seconds to the masses. They’ll buy a Ferrari. But only if they can arrive at a nightclub with a trophy blond.

Every single product is exactly the same. People will not pay more.

I mean it was Family Guy who joked that we should buy more American Made products. Which at last check were down to Porn and cheeseburgers. But people don’t pay for porn anymore either. They get that free. Sure they risk a computer virus. But hey that’s better than having porn dot com on your credit card bill.

They don’t pay more. They won’t do so happily. And as evidenced by the Gas complaints. They won’t pay more without screaming bloody murder.

And your answer. You will only pay more if it is somehow able to be proven to you that it helps Americans. In a way you approve of.

So drop the bullshit. You won’t pay more. You like everyone want the 65 inch ultra HD tv for the low low price of what you can get it for. You don’t care any more than anyone else if the name brand is child labor sweat shop.

This works very easily… those in prison would have no choice but work. Those whose social safety net has been burned down can choose between work or death by starvation or exposure.

Tell me. What has been the result. Historically. With that sort of approach?

I couldn’t care less. It’s the RIGHT thing to do, whether it succeeds or not.
