Made in USA: Bringing manufacturing jobs back to the homeland

That's only 1/2 of the world's population! This is why it is imperative to replace industries that are poisoning Earth with other options...

 

The manufacturing of Soylent Green seems to be the best option.

I would set up these Soylent Green factories along the U.S. / Mexico border and where large crime invested cities that are run by Democrats are located.

 

I guess you missed the government report that border cities along the Mexican/US border are some of the safest areas in the US...

 

They are until you go beyond the city limits.

Do you know how many gun owners live near the border ?

In El Paso there are over 2,000 U.S. Border Patrol agents who live in the El Paso area and pack a gun when off duty.

 

You are the one who claimed that this income was coming to the government out of the pockets of US consumers.

Or, the exporter is absorbing the cost by reducing their prices.

And yet we aren't seeing any unusual consumer price pressure, in fact, inflation is quite tame. And not just on the consumer level, but also at the wholesale level suggestion that importers aren't picking up the tariff costs either. That leaves the exporter.

Inflation still tame as wholesale prices rise just 0.2 percent ...

Aug 10, 2019 - (CN) – U.S. wholesale prices increased by only 0.2 percent in July, another indication of the mild inflation pressures that drove the Federal ...

 

Only those who have the education and training to get new jobs enjoy it. Most of the people who are losing jobs to robots don't have the training to work in automated industries.

And these industries CLAIMED that automation would allow them to lower prices because production cost would be less, but they have RAISED prices. Because they don't really care about lower prices, and know that people will still buy their products.

 

And yet collected money from tariffs are skyrocketing. That money isn't coming from thin air, IT'S COMING FROM AMERICANS!!!! And you trumpers claim to be pro-business/anti tax. G.t.g.Fo.h.!

 

There you go folks, yet another trumper with no idea how the free market works. smh...

 

There is no real way to avoid that in a global economy.

 

Actually it is NOT a fact. The prices we are paying for imports has gone DOWN, not up, since Trump's tariffs kicked in in the second half of 2018.

 

My focus is on your ability or lack thereof to comprehend that making one hoodie in 30 years is obviously superior environmentally to making six in the same period. You choose to focus on my opinion that you are a liberal is a way to run from that

 

Very good. Now you see why cheap labor is becoming less of a factor and more industries can come home.

 

You need to do some reading of facts;

Facts disagree with you. It is unlikely that tariffs can extract $10 billion from exporters and importers and not have negative impacts on business and consumers.

Who cares about overall inflation? The topic was tariffs and tariffs are increasing consumer prices...

 

Why don't you democrats want manufacturing to come back? I don't get it. Why do you like China so much better?

 

Nearly everything in your current life is made possible by technology, automation and robotics.

People who lose their jobs, no matter the reasons, it is their responsibility to retrain or reeducate or relocate or whatever it requires to achieve new employment.

You are naive about automation and robotics...go to any company in the US, like a candy factory, and learn the role of automation/robotics, and then try to fathom what the costs of those products would be today without automation/robotics??

Consumer decide the prices...

 

You must look at the prices of those products directly effected by tariffs and allow enough time to see the full effects of tariffs...

 

I run from ignorance...and political bias...

 

Another news flash for you; LABOR is not the only cost of doing business and usually does not represent more than 30%. You must also factor all the other HIGH costs of doing business in the US, ALL of which determines the viability of the business unit...

 

This is such a political and naive statement...'democrats or republicans' DO NOT determine where businesses choose to operate facilities and procure materials/services...

 

Every country has gone thru it's environmental problems getting to a successful industrial country.
It wasn't that long ago we had the same problems as China.

Pittsburg.
How do you feel about Trump rolling back our environmental regulations to the "good old days?"

If you think I'm buying my grandkids a 108 dollar hoodie to wear for 1 year, your nuts.

 

They do through their "trade deals" and what I've seen from the past 30 years is dems getting NAFTA passed and were about to get T.P.P passed if it wasn't for Trump becoming president. So now tell which party has really been on the side of working class Americans and middle class? not the donkey party.

 

One more thing who also wants illegal immigrants here who take our jobs? not the elephant party.

 

So the US backs out of TPP and all the other countries sign it without most of the intellectual property protections and we are out in the cold with a disadvantage in trade with those countries.
Good plan.

 

Cheap Democrats who buy the least expensive products then complain that capitalists who find the cheapest labor to deliver what they want are the problem.
