I've explained it 50 times in words you should be able to understand.

LAST time:

40 years ago - you want a automobile

Mines were constructed to mine iron to make steel to process and put into
tools that had to be designed, engineered and built in separate companies so
designers could design a part to assemble to a vehicle that other engineers,
metallurgists, chemists, capital equipment builders, machinery builders,
paint manufacturers, trim designers engineers and assembly people could work
in a plant built by steel makers, engineers, managers, architects and on and
on and on and on -

biggest factor in decrease of steel mills

plastic cars.

i'm a chemical engineer from pittsburgh. i know a BIT about
manufacturing and the steel industry.


Today: A foreign company is offered a site at specialty rates (tax
exemptions), are granted foreign trade zone status to avoid tariffs

IOW subsidies...taxes on working people in those countries...

US companies went overseas while our right wing reaganites and george
bushes didn't tax imports to level the playing field

thanks, wall street.


Use Vaseline, it's cheaper, and you don't have to vote to gain the thrill.

you know NOTHING of technology or economics. you have never taken ANY
coursework in any of these


If you don't grasp the demise of CORE industries in North America for the
demise of the previous middle class, you're not paying attention or both of
your brain cells are on non speaking terms.

you have your right wing delusions. i have the evidence


You should be ****ED about the demise of the U.S., instead of blaming an
entity that has no connection to you

really? has no connection to me? wall street sucked up ALL the equity
in the country, paid BILLIONS in bonuses to top executives and that
has no connection to me??

what planet you from?
