Comment on Realistically... How fucked is the US?

Why would they? You can’t beat Chinese factory workers at less than a dollar a day. This won’t do shit but make things more expensive. American Workers would have to be devalued massively to move the jobs back. Is that something you’re willing to put up with?

I don’t think you understand. Things SHOULD be more expensive and that money should go back in our own pockets instead of the pockets of people who exploit cheap labor elsewhere.

I dont think YOU understand, that money isn’t going in our pockets.

Maybe not yours, but I work hard enough that I became the QA director of my company in less than a year. I’m doing okay and so are my techs.
