They could easily stay in the USA IFF we're willing to pay more for consumer goods.I'm not at all happy the U.S. has little manufacturing left.
However, I'm not delusional into believing a false reality where I can pretend all these manufacturing jobs could viably stay in the U.S.

I don't have a clue as to what your statement means in terms of what I quoted and made a statement to. I think you've got some wires crossed somewhere. From what I read, he was talking about partisan politics and deep political divide that this country has (see this forum). As for the other half, they simply want to play whatever the hot video game is and don't give a shit about the country or the downward spiral.
And you just proved that you lick the walls.
Not nearly to the degree that it was even a decade ago. China has embraced the power inherent in capitalism. Take a look at any cutting edge subject, such as LED lighting, and you'll find literally dozens of private start-up manufacturing AND DESIGN companies run by very smart, very well-educated people. And along side those you'll find massive companies, some state-owned but most not, competing with them. There is simply a huge amount of economic freedom in China today.China has a State Capitalist model, with State Owned Enterprises all over their economy, you imbeciles.
Yep. Except for the people with the wealth and/or connections to buy politicians - they're still doing fine. They can move their factories to China and even get taxpayers to pony up to cover their costs in doing so.We will be paying for it one way or another (i.e. Welfare on the rise, massive debt, bubble after bubble....and on...and on..).
And he doubles down. Keep up the good work.
Victorian Gray, sounds like some kind of Limey Parrot. Fitting.

Really? How does Germany do it?

Do you have anything worthwhile to say other than an idiotic rant that has nothing to do with the discussion, and then childish retorts attempting to cover up for your earlier buffoonery?
The elites better start speaking Mandarin and the rest Spanish.
Common Core will make us #1 in education. screw STEM.
Oh back to TV , the Karthrashians are on.
Don't worry guys, capitalism will save us along with the job creators!

How did China achieve so much in such a short amount of time? Was it the grand design of leftist centralized government planning or via adopting free market ideals and liberalizing their marketplace (even if it is to lesser extend to what we see in the US) by having government get the fuck out of the way??? I'd imagine if they really did embrace capitalism and free markets they'd not only finally supplant the US they'd dominate us economically and eventually militarily for centuries to come.
So as you deride capitalism you ignore the fact that the Chinese got to where they are at right now (on the cusp of dominating the US economically and educationally on many fronts) by abandoning the Marxist based economic and social engineering garbage that held their nation back and caused millions of Chinese citizens to die at the hands of the "Great Leader" (Mao Zedong) and his policies. Meanwhile here in the US we have idiots like you who think the way forward is to go back to old and defunct economic and political systems of centralized planning and government control of everything in life from cradle to grave that even the remnants of Chinese communist party now realize are/were stupid and destructive.
Then what do you suggest then?
I don't know maybe something simple like government to step out of the way of choosing winners and losers in our economy and distorting it our economy with often needless taxes, regulation, mandates, etc that add imposed upon additional costs onto businesses? Or how about we stopping the top down politicization of our educational process which started when the Department of Education was established in 1970?
Obviously the current trend of a larger and larger government is not working out for us and greater and greater control of our educational system by the Fed and those who have more political rather then educational interests is not producing any worthy results? Unless you think we should just double down on everything as the solution.
In 1971, 1993 and 2001, the US gave up the farm to China (and other nations) during the zenith position of their strength.
The only logical explanation for giving way more than was ever gotten (to a society that probably didn't deserve it): a) ignorance b) corruption c) all of the above.
Today, the US is making decisions from places of economic weakness, especially with a fiat currency or strong military to back it.
Sounds like you would like to take our workers back to the Chinese worker level as far as pay, safety, benefits, worker rights, etc.?
Sounds like you would want to make the US even less attractive to businesses, while allowing government to pick winners and losers based on who can sway the political machines that run government rather then have actual competition and worse have more Americans dependent on government. As the solution that you seem to want is to embrace a system of envy and scapegoating rather then having a actual functioning economy that is not distorted by the hand of government which has lead us to the point where we are at as a nation.
See I can play that game as well.
Or corporations and Wall Street were willing to accept lower profits.They could easily stay in the USA IFF we're willing to pay more for consumer goods.
