What trade with China has gotten us is fewer jobs, fewer jobs with benefits, fewer good jobs,less quality in what is offered for sale, higher cost as most must be replaced as warranties are worthless and product does not meet advertising or expectation.
Big boxes now only carry things they force to be produced at the maximum profit margin. Therefore there is very little variety and few to none quality products offered. Shelves are full but all of one or two items. Nothing we want just what we can get.
Doesn't matter a hoot what Buick and Ford makes in China. It does not benefit Americans or the value of our dollar.
I was involved in buying trips early on, in the seventies of items offered from china, Taiwan and so on but not poor copies of American quality goods.
Laws protecting American manufacturing, jobs and our interest were struck down
When foreign money and Influence now called Globalists came after our wealth.
Americans are not allowed to protect American jobs/production.
American companies and corporations are a thing of the past. Globalist bought them stripped out the equity and drove them into the ground sold the scraps and got junk made in China and their trademark labels slapped on it.
You can buy Black and Decker or a hundred other tools and they are all the same except for color or some small items and label and price.
What is happening to Sears is exactly the point and K Mart nad a thousand others. No amount of talking to that jerk that owns it will get him to manage it for sustainability, jobs and profits. he made his percentage and is running it into the ground.
