The ITW move was announced in March 2016. The 60 jobs in the Mazon "plant" are moving to a pre-existing, much larger (over 1000 employees) ITW facility in Ciudad Juárez.

it has something to do with the whole - he's just like me phenomenon that Sarah Palin embodied...they're like so they'll look out for me..fact is most people are morons, and just about nobody you bump into day to day is fit to be POTUS, but somehow that's become an ideology- the regular Joe should lead the free world....

I voted third party but I have to note......we are twenty trillion in debt. We are in five wars and things were a mess before Trump.

You use this as an example of those with experience knowing what to do?

Well, as ol PT himself supposedly used to say: "a sucker is born every minute" ...

I still can't believe that people fell for his cons, it makes me very fearful of the future

Makes sense.
Yes, it does make sense.

It's a fact of life.
Workers in 3rd World States are paid premium wages consistent with the level of economic development for the State in question. The minimum wage in India is $0.28/hour, and while you might not be able to live on that, Indians certainly can. The best most expensive private school in India is only $639/year per student. Seeing how India is taking US IT jobs, they must be doing something right.

It's a fact of life (and economics).

If you're young just get into electrical or mechanical engineering then you don't have to worry about any of this.

almost like getting an education and acquiring a skill (white or blue collar) that can't be done by a guy who can't read or write in a third word country is valuable in the age of the internet...hmmm- I think you're onto something...

Mets do you actually believe that most of the people who voted for trump idolize him and believed he would accomplish everything he said?

If you actually think that then you are in a deep, deep state of denial. And until you set aside your anger and hate you, like the rest of the hardcore left will only destroy your party further. Get a grip and rebuild.

Outsourcing will be a free market thing again as soon as the populist Trump fever burns out, and all his regulations will be considered anti-business.
