• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Consider:

  scenario today:

  labor cost for product is $3, which goes to a chinese worker. total product cost is $5.

  scenario “manufactured in the USA”:

  labor cost is $6, which goes to american worker. total product cost is $10.

  the product gets more expensive, but the extra expenses partially go to an american worker, which again will spend the money in the US economy, so it doesn’t really cost the national economy that much.

  however, the extra $4 in the “manufactured in the USA” scenario go to american middle-management and “investors” a.k.a skimmed by the owning class. that is why the people would still lose out. that is why “home-shoring” in itself is not enough; a wealth tax is also needed.

  selective breeding

  I wonder, isn’t sexual selection a form of “selective breeding”?
