Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
If anyone has an idea of how to compete against $0.13/hr wages I'm all ears. Anyone not involved in manufacturingand particularly textiles can't seem to grasp that concept.
US manufacturing as this country once knew is not coming back. Ever. And to believe so is disillusion. Verbiage such as coming (or not coming) "back" is probably confusing to most. As this yields a theory that it is away somewhere else. Which isn't entirely true. The fact is, robots replace more jobs than trade policies ever have or will.
This will change 20x over before it happens. I wish more shirts were made here but know it will never happen again.A 20% increase is like $.35 to most of us on a shirt?I just raised my prices $1 to cover USPS increases and it will cover me on any price increases for this.It is what it is. Taxation is theft.
This "proposed" policy will help some, yet hurt many. There needs to be a bit of give-and-take built into the language and not be an absolute, across-the-board memorandum. I remember back in the early 90's paying about $36/dz. for white FOL Lofteez shirts. We may me looking at these levels yet again.
You contradicted yourself there.So you're saying that if Trump trained them in coal mining, then those jobs would suddenly be needed?
