Comment on Dear Americans, be prepare to get screwed!
HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 1 week agoYes it does.
Do you know why we outsourced everything to China? Because they can do it cheaper.
You can get it back, have it higher quality, more jobs, better control over it, all that good stuff. But it won’t be cheaper.
The US sells things they can make comparatively cheaper (not just price, its an opportunity cost) - better educated population, logistic, access to raw material, infrastructure investments. China sells things they can do cheaper - usually the fact that life is cheap in China.

I agree with a lot of what you said. “Better educated population.”
Doubt

While I mostly agree, but let’s not underestimate Chinese education and the culture built around overachieving.

Nah, I was joking about the fact I wouldn’t say we are more educated than anyone ever again. After this week, I’m going to assume we are around 192nd in education, maybe 193rd. Out of the 193 members of the UN

Sorry clarification.
I listed things a country may have that can create a competition advantage. I’d also argue the better infrastructure for the US as well.
