Just one small, most recent example..
I've experienced this at multiple places I worked at quite a many years ago,
all in the manufacturing field. It started in the 90's thanks to Bush and Clinton.
America is falling apart. Too many voters believed all the lies and did nothing about it.
15% of all US manufacturing jobs were permanently eliminated due to technology substitution between 2000- 2010. Speculation on my part that the percentage of jobs lost due to tech substitution 2010-2020 will be even greater.
This is certainly not unique to the US.
What can a government do about this? Force business to be less productive? That's silly.
I feel so sorry for these Carrier and UTEC families who will lose their jobs forever to Mexican workers. Thanks NAFTA, Obama, and Clinton who choose immigrants, regulations and anti-business policy over American skilled workers.

What would the government do 30 years ago if they were not bought and paid for by Corporate Lobbyists?
You see, our government in collusion with the heads of Corporations and Banks are not innocent bystanders in Global Competition among other nations, but are actually responsible for this.
Where would China be without the thousands of manufacturing equipment and technical know how shipped to their country 20 years ago from this country?
This is all planned in the meetings they have had without citizen oversight in the Bilderberg and CFR get togethers.
I Mean WTF? What do people think they were discussing in those meetings where you had the heads of Corporations, Banks and Politicians getting together?
Were they laughing and telling jokes, and drinking tea and eating biscuits?
No, they were colluding together on Globalist Ambitions and the American People were not a part of that.
As it is now, our military should be disbanded are shrunk to border protection only
American Tax Payers are footing the bill to police their Corporate Globalist Utopia, rather than this nation.
That is THEFT.
Globalists should be on the hook for all Global Policing
Free market? That is a laugh. If we had a free market America would be competitive with Mexico. That country doesn't have the outrageous Federal regulations, unions, corporate taxes, race based quotes that we do. Mexico doesn't have the legal and illegal immigration issues either.
Yep, agree. It was all done for the top ruling elite.
If Ross Perot had not dropped out of the race, foolishly in my opinion, he would have been the first candidate to change the system after being elected. We could be in a stable economy with nothing but promise. It is very unfortunate he dropped out and then came back in later. Our hope in breaking the system now sits in the hands of much less worthy men in my opinion.
I voted for Perot. I like boring politicians who attempt to tell the people the truth.
Ross Perot like Ron Paul would have united Congress across party lines against them.
Same deal with Bernie. Jury is out on Trump and Cruz.
POTUS can lead with any agenda. If Congress does not go along, nothing changes.

Exactly
If we had Free Trade, Mexicans and Chinese that would have rights and freedoms like us, would be making comparable wages. Organised Business and Organized Labor need to exist, otherwise, the power rests too much on one side. In Communist China, workers have no rights.
The Chinese work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, no overtime and based on the average yearly wage, it comes out to a dollar an hour
You could cut taxes to zero in this country and it still would not matter
[quote=J746NEW;42996281]Yep it was all part of the plan
With a lot of items made in China, their designed and manufactured with built-in obsolescence as a primary feature. It doesn't last very long, and it's not cost effective to repair. So we just trash the old stuff and buy another one.
It ends up costing us more then, than if it was American made with HQ in mind.
There is no green or efficiency in that.
It just means more profits and money to the elite class[/QUOTE

I was for Ross Perot as well.
Clinton struck me as a conniving backstabbing politician even then and I was right.
Every politician we have had since then have been Globalists selling out this country for they and their cronies own gain.

China or any other country is capable of manufacturing to any specification.
Products built to last don't need to be replaced which is not good for business.
Planned obsolescence has been happening for going on 60 years.
How did business ever stay afloat then when we made high quality American Made Goods?
They were competing in America for the highest quality and paid people enough to afford it.
The direction has changed where $$$ is all that matters and quality took a dump
