When you showed the president's... Reagan was a union buster and Clinton did NAFTA. Ever if you get a manufacturing job it starts at 10 dollars an hour which is the same rate as the 90's, no pensions crappy benefits if you even get benefits. Jobs have been leaving since NAFTA. Slow decline ever since. Can't support a family on 10 dollars an hour in this economy. Jobs went to China. There's over 1.4 billion people in China, 1.4 billion people buying your product. We are the richest country in the world with the most citizens living in poverty. Fact. We also have the most citizens in prison in the world. America is and will fall. Just a matter of time.
A big problem with manufacturing jobs is that their so corporate. Smaller local or regional manufacturing is far more appealing to workers than a massive factory that tries to supply the whole country with lots of strict rules and long hours.
I worked at a saw mill most my life, im on disability now, i forgot when, but it was the late nintees or early two thousands, i went to the hardwhare store, in town three miles from the sawmill, or lumber mill, which ever you want to call it, and asked where they got their lumber, sinced the mill sold trucks full of lumber all over the united states, the lumber at the hardware store, came from russia, i didnt say any thing, but i was pissed, the mill closed down three years ago because the pine beetle epademic wrecked the black hills, of s.d, in the sixtees their was an epademic, and they sprayed, solving the problem, didnt hurt anybody, didnt devastate the wildlife, this go around, the environmental movement which is now huge, wouldnt let them spray, millions of trees that the mill could use went to pot , then bidan did somthing, he cut all tree cutting in half , every place, mills have several problems anyway, after that , it shut down, my brother was a ford auto mecanic, i always bought ford, and he would worked on them, saving me labor costs, one time i mentioned to a mechanic, i buy ford mainly because its made in america, that i wouldnt by a japanese car, the mechanic said half my puckup parts were made in japan, that was twenty years ago, i heard at one time also, that years ago, before foreian competition, u.s. factories, incuding sawmills, pushed so much garbage out the door , as fast as posible, that people started buying japanese, that upset me
I am watching this from Norway. There's a lot of differences between our two countries, but this problem is exacly the same here. We don't have manufacturing jobs anymore, we buy low quality products from China instead.
Northern Nevada is the new American manufacturing ground zero. Tesla Gigafactory, Lithium America’s, West Coast Salmon etc etc.... Washoe, Pershing and Humboldt counties!! $$$$$$$$$$$$❤. You’re welcome 😊
I have been working with a US manufacturing company for over 15 years now, selling their product to, the most hated, China. Unfortunately, this specific US company, unlike what's described in this movie, really can't care less about its work, or its clients. I am deeply upset about the fact, although this company is still looked at as the top in its trade. I see a hell lot of problems in US manufacturing. I think I'll have to talk to them shortly in order to move the assembly of the equipment I order from them from under their management here in the United States to China, which is going to fall under my supervision
No cry,s because Facebook and WhatsApp is getting more revenue from other country's.dont blame china,Indian etc because they are working for half of your pay.

Reganomics and Thatcherism

Greed, bad policy,and extreme regulation. Pretty much what did us in
Well the regulations are about over. Now we have 12 year old kids cleaning the machines in meat packing plants.
Reganomics
I did it at 12 in a dry cleaner plant and made college money. I'm all for 12 and working
THIS IS WHY WE NEED A FULL GOVERNMENT INDUSTRIAL POLICY SO WE CAN COMPETE GLOBALLY
The government got us into this mess by signing NAFTA but I do agree

If your "high quality" products are in demand then your company would prosper. But no, people want the affordable low quality producs.
Woohoo,Wow.insane editing-fellow~
Thank you all for watching. We love seeing the conversations and thoughts sparked here.
It is all about wall street and banking profit margins. The producers are not part of the equation. This is free trade=free workers.
At 50:01 it shows a Tajima embroidery machine (Japanese) stitching 'Made In USA' on a New Balance shoe tongue.
Oh the irony.
God Bless America......unless you're American
High salary, unions and strong dollar make American manufacturing not competitive in global productivity.
Americans are concerned about growth of china,leaving behind nato and europe these people are really they are big exports

Is that you, Elon?

Of course now all this is considered toxic masculinity.
Blame Henry Kissinger and Bill Clinton for selling jobs overseas
How does that help?
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Plenty of work in the booming porn industry.
But even that will be made in China soon
