When did China become part of North America?
Automation is what gutted the US manufacturing sector, not globalization. Some jobs moved, yes. Far more of themā¦ just stopped existing because we no longer needed 5 people to do what 1 machine can do better, more accurately, and faster, at higher volume.

To be fair, my Galaxy SII is 6 years old. Most of the newer phones are bigger, and I find them a little unwieldy. I might upgrade soon, though.
The United States complains Chinese industry development plans [. . .] might erode American industrial leadership.
So maybe invest some money in actual improvements in infrastructure and education, you IDIOT.

The news is stating that Wilbur Ross just said that the American people will not realize the price increase of products as the increases are spread out over many products. Just like DHS - ICE when they separated families of people request asylum, thought the American people would not care. They donāt live in the real world, when people have a very limited resources to buy food or any other item that are increased they will notice. Trump administration. just doesnāt care about anyone but themselves and their ābaseā.

Nothing to do with a GOP Congress, I guess?
The USA didnāt gut itās industrial base, the owners of industry decided to put profit before their fellow country people.
And dude, I have worked in industry, and industrial high-tech. Rent-seeking is the rule, not the exception.
I disagree to an extent.
In recent years, automation has been a big deal.
But in the 70s and 80s? Nope.
90s? Maybe.
I grew up next town over from the āplastics capital of the worldā. By 1990 they still hadnāt figured out how to fully automate injection molding. And a college student could make good money working temp over the summer.
But US companies standing up units overseas to offshore work? LOLOLMFAO. Started in the 60s and I helped IBM make my job obsolete in the early 2010s. By helping stand up automation to create accounts and access to resources and source code for new units in India and China ā¦ But, you know - no users in APAC, no need for automation . . .
Yeah. That is going to have to be physically beaten into many of them.
Iāll help!
You want to hold down, or beat?
Mind you, OSHA will probably insist we switch regularly to avoid repetitive motion injuries ā¦
