So many people don’t realize global trade/economics is always a 2-way street. Of course, everything varies from company to company, product to product. All the whiners are most often the children or grandchildren of folks who worked in industries that moved to Texas or North Carolina, Indiana or Ohio, because wages were cheaper than New England or New York BITD.
Meanwhile, poor folks in Mexico or Bangladesh, VietNam or Ecuador, are raising their own standard of living at the same time ours flattens out. The task at home is to get the creeps at the top who own damned everything to turn loose some of those profits for the hands who built industry in the first place. They ain’t running out of steak and lobster anytime soon.
