It's amazing how truly stupid this guy is. 

Sort of yes and sort of no.  We shouldn’t be surprised by what an idiot he is.  The guy was born on third base, has no significant academic success,  is a mediocre businessman,  has a massive ego,  and hopelessly thin skin likely occasioned by his awareness of his own, significant limitations.

Why should we care about American made again? 
 

Like, why are our workers inherently more important?

It's a fair question.  I think the answer is that they aren't.  especially when so many enabled trump and continue to cheer his madness on.

Complete and total realignment :

 

From The Nation in 2004:

 

Toward a Progressive View on Outsourcing

 

 

When Gregory Mankiw, the head of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers, remarked on February 9 that outsourcing “is probably a plus for the economy in the long run,” he added heat to a debate that has been growing in ferocity as American job losses have mounted and as trade policy has developed into a key issue in the Democratic presidential primaries. In an effort to help develop a progressive position on outsourcing–one that reflects a concern about the well-being of American workers and those in the countries to which many US jobs have fled–we have solicited three views on the subject. We invite readers to respond.    –The Editors
 

 

“Don’t worry; they’ll get better jobs in the service sector.” This used to be the mantra of free-trade supporters when confronted with the shift of auto or apparel jobs to Mexico or China. That line doesn’t work anymore, since service jobs, including high-skill computer programming, financial analysis and X-ray reading, are going overseas as well. 

Global outsourcing of service jobs is one of the most disturbing manifestations of the US government’s corporate-friendly approach to globalization and requires a fundamental reorientation of policy that will aid workers at home and abroad.
 

Democrats have rightly seized on the issue. They are touting an array of anti-outsourcing proposals, mostly focusing on national measures, such as elimination of taxpayer subsidies. For example, John Kerry advocates banning foreign outsourcing of state and federal government contract work and would also eliminate tax breaks for firms that outsource, while giving tax credits to those that do not. 

 

…..But the comments of the Bush Administration’s chief economist were still infuriating. They oversimplified trade theory, for one thing. But more disturbing, they were issued by a member of an Administration that is presiding over a jobless recovery and showing only insensitivity to the considerable pain of massive job dislocation and slow wage growth that the theory itself predicts. Most important, the remarks, and most of the reaction to them, overlook the possibility that something new is occurring in the age of both the Internet and the rapidly growing low-wage economies in Asia and the Far East. 

For evidence, take the current recovery. Job growth may yet arrive, but by historical standards, a million or two new jobs at least should already have been created. Manufacturing jobs in particular, the easiest to export, are being lost by the millions and are now down to a level first reached in 1958. Weak labor markets are showing up in poor wage growth. Josh Bivens of the Economic Policy Institute points out that labor compensation has gained less in the current economic recovery than in any other in the post-World War II period. The growth of Gross Domestic Product is flowing largely into profits.

Sooooo...

 

This is going to lower living costs, health care costs, housing costs, grocery costs, utility costs, government spending, raise wages... literally any of these things?

I mean if it’s that easy to do Biden wouldn’t have let them skyrocket the last 4 years.

Hear me out. 
 

 

I, the modern consumer, want my goods as abundant and affordable as possible. 
 

Insane protectionist shite like today’s tariffs or the Jones Act prevents that. It makes goods scarcer and less affordable. 
 

If I have the choice, I might consider buying an American made item, but it by no means is some kind of deal-breaker whether or not it was made by some guy in Ohio pushing a button on an assembly line all day or some machine in Bangladesh. 
 

Trump had one thing correct today - China is killing us on shipbuilding. But his solution is all wrong. We prevent ourselves from building like that. Our insipid unions prevent us from automating our ports. The Jones Act prevents international ships in our waters. 
 

Thus, it matters little to me where my goods are made. So long as they’re safe and not made by gulag labor in North Korea, no skin off my nose. Sorry.

Ding, why should I subsidize the poor and uneducated of this country with jobs by paying more money for the crap I want. No thanks. If your job is that easily replaced and that unskilled you really should look at alternative options. What isn't an option is making everything more expensive for the rest of the country so you don't have to solve the issue yourself. In the best case scenario this is manufacturing welfare for the uneducated and unskilled. No thanks.

That's the world to the Trumpies. The mainstream media is actually inferior to some rando named George. And some rando named George is superior to the poster here. Otherwise they'd just say it themselves instead of parroting every "George" who pops up on their Twitter feed.

[BillsFanNC]

Lol. You commies like to make ***** up while I've got you on ignore.

Yeah, you’re spot on. 

 

Manufacturing jobs suck. They’re dangerous and pay nothing. I’m glad we can automate as much of the process as possible. 
 

All we’re doing is making ourselves much less efficient, which is ironic coming from the side screeching about DOGE.
