You are too fucking late ...


Outsourcing to China Cost U.S. 3.2 Million Jobs Since 2001 - US News

Now China's business leaders are outsourcing to sub-Saharan Africa.
Chinese manufacturers are now outsourcing to Africa

Stop thinking like it's 1996 ... Trade is global now. The second article says the shoe factory wages in Ethiopia is $30 A MONTH! You want those jobs? You ain't going to get them -- that is a ridiculously low wage.

I bought hiking shoes "Garmont" brand from Amazon. The (now?) marketing brand's corporation is in the UK but the shoes are assembled in China, (maybe made with Ethiopian made components?). They were not cheap by any means and the profits were distributed between the US (Amazon) UK (Garmont) and China (Assembly - Fabrication) for certain.

This "bring back the jobs" is political bullshit. That is why your city's @grapesoda and my own city's local business is falling apart -- the jobs are obsoleted and the workers and the government cannot agree on a course of occupational retraining. The sad fact is: most of these workers are not re-trainable because they do not have the aptitude and wiliness to relearn. So, they are made to sit on their asses and collect meager government stipends and of course, complain a lot and constitute a ''low hanging fruit'' voting block. I don't have an answer -- I am just pointing out the cold facts.

Let's go top war with Ethiopia and slaughter those factory workers that the Chinese are playing against their own workers and ours? That would be a ludicrous platform but that would mobilize all the riff-raff to new easy to understand jobs in the military -- stupid isn't it? So is this 'bring back the jobs' bullshit.
