Have to feel for the poor fools who felt a 'billionaire capitalist' - who sends his stuff that needs to be manufactured to other countries other than the US - would be the best person to help support manufacturing jobs in the US....as if!
Hahaha, that's what you don't get it. The people in the government caused that. They just want to say f u to the government that destroyed their livelihood
I wrote a whole paper on this issue, focusing on companies like American Giant that are making high quality stuff with local supply chains.
but peopl do want to pay the premium.
This is the new thing on some of the professional or semi-professional levels. They keep you for 4 to 6 months and then they lay half of you off and then in another year or so they lay the rest of you off
I'm curious if Erie stayed the same, worsened or improved during Trumps years
Worsened under Trump. I lived in Erie and nothing changed under him, he lied to the people, just like he lied to coal industry workers who saw coal mines and plants close faster under Trump than anyone.
Jobs go where there is cheap labor. As simple as that. Expecting to earn 40 to 50 dollars an hour, is too much for today’s corporations. They move production to developing countries. This happens in every country in this planet…
That's why we need to put tariffs unto these companies if they want back in the United States market. Make them pay so much where it cost more for them to make it overseas
@@Upper-cr1kh speak for yourself
i do understand where everyone is coming from. i think that we have to stop looking for someone or something to blame. lets look at the root cause of our challenges. i am thinking part of our root cause is we went from lowest cost producer in america to a more lowest cost producer globally. and in many places but not in all cases there are cheaper workers else where. and upper management has to look for the cheapest cost to earn their high pay and incentive bonuses and ability to look for other higher paid positions.
the days of doing your best at your job then you were guaranteed a job for life and you would be rewarded for your dedication with good medical health care a good pension social security benefits and a good life.
it has turned into a dog eat dog world and survival of the fittest. in a merry go round world goes round in circles. if we changed our paradigm ( scripting) from a lowest cost to something like lowest cost american union quality made products.
remember that we are in a global environment. and things change. we americans like reasonable lower cost quality products. i like john deere tractors but in 1980's i bought a 65 hp 525 belarus tractor with front end loader, for its simplicity with no computer chips and farm boy simple technologies based on old american technologies. it had heavier castings because of some old technologies. i bought it with a new kelly back hoe (usa made) a new long bush hog. and a used farmi winch for logging my wood lot.
the 525 tractor was made in the minsk tractor factory in belarus union of soviet socialist republic it entered america via a port of entry in Louisiana or Wisconsin. i took over 6 years before i was convinced it was the right machine for. i bought it from savings for about $25 grand. an equivalent john deere was $75 grand. in a hobby environment i could justify the 25 grand. and i bought it.
today i have to rethink. john deere farm tractors are made in japan or west germany. kioti is made in south korea. Kubota is made in japan. bobcat equipment was bought out by dooson a south korean company.
Mahindra is made in india. tym branson yanmar all off shore operations. low cost and recent quality improvements may warrant looking at offshore built equipment.
note walmart believed in american made when it started. now it is global
with low cost leading the way. times continue to charge and away we go. hopefully to better times.
IT IS NOT DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN. THE WORLD HAS CHANGED AND AMERICANS ARE IS STILL LIVING IN THE PAST. THIS IS NOT 1950, THIS IS 2023. OUR PROBLEMS ARE SELF CREATED. WE NEED TO ADAPT TO A CHANGING WORLD.
This is a very good comment. Perhaps having two parties is very archaic.
Anyone putting hope in Trump who lies about everything is going to be grossly disappointed
As opposed to biden who takes money from china?...
😂
Irony is trump claiming to put America first, yet all his red 'America First' caps are produced in China....at cheaper rates than American workers could make the same (or better) produced hat.
Yeah, because voting Democrat for 40 years was just great for them. 🤦♂🤡
@@rapman5363 It's not dem vs rep
It's leader vs leader.
Independent is the largest political party, and voting for Biden, is working out better. Chips act, inflation reduction act, etc. Samsung is moving to the US, Intel is moving all semiconductor fabrication to the US, US steel (USS) is moving steel manufacturing back, General motors is too, even Toyota, and Nissan, is moving some to the US from Japan. The list goes on.
WHAT? The Big Liar didn't get to Erie yet? Keep waitng. It's "just around the corner" so to speak. Paul Laboda
The problem with Trump is he knows how to say what's needed to get elected but when it came to doing what he said he was going to do, he had no idea or just didn't do it at all
That's how all government elects are.
They don't care, because it's the career politicians that had ruined their city and livelihood.
Hope is not a plan

One problem is management wants make as much as possible as does labor. We can't compete with China. We should gradually find other sources. Than China. And have more worker ownd company's but that requires assistance. Not state companys
State heavily invested in US sector, nebulizer
Job flight is not the problem, it's inevitable that manufacturing jobs will leave the country and be replaced by service jobs. It's the government's fault because they neglected funding programs to help retrain workers or help them transition during frictional unemployment or fund apprenticeship programs. Tariffs may help manufacturing in the short term, but in the long run they would hurt the american economy (like what happened in post colonial india).
ONE REASON NO MFG IN U.S.: U.S. Corporate Income taxes. U.S. corporations use transfer pricing to pay little or no income taxes. Example: (1) Apple builds iPhone 14 in China for $165. (2)Sells it (on paper) to their offshore subsidiary located in a low tax/no tax haven. (3) This offshore subsidiary than "sells" it to APPLE USA AT FULL RETAIL . . . . AND PAYS NO INCOME TAXES IN THE UNITED STATES. (4) All the huge never taxed income is held in the offshore subsidiary. (5) Then every ten years or so Congress passes a "NO TAXES ON REPATRIATING OFFSHORE INCOME" holiday under the pretense as it will be invested in growth (bulldung). Thbuilding. Money goes to shareholders and Congress gets their pockets fill their pockets with cash
Seeing this 5 years after being first published shows what a failure the Trump admin. was and is.
Yeah, it had nothing to do with “ voting blue sine the Reagan administration “
35 years of failure can’t be fixed in 4years. Vote blue no matter who right?
The tariffs on China he put in and that Biden didn’t remove have brought some manufacturing back to America. Re-shoring is increasing, and although Biden is continuing it today, a lot of the efforts to bring back manufacturing started during Trump’s term. After 8 years of offshoring during Obama’s terms, (and not to say this wasn’t happening during Bush too, but Clinton was bigger in making American jobs leave). Trump and Biden have both pushed for America first manufacturing in their admins. It’s not going to be all jobs that come back, some are gone forever, but this isn’t a good video to make the point you’re making. It’s an emotional… but anecdotal video. About a few specific stories. Not about the statistics. Re-shoring is happening. Global supply chains proved to be shaky over the past few years of plague and war, and now we want to have our supply lines in the US… anyway! Just not the right video for that criticism, like the off-shoring issue wasn’t ten times worse 10-20 years ago.
Totally lost me at the very beginning when she cried for Trump.
Same
@docinparadise And that's scary.

They weren't just jibs, they were high paying mostly union jobs, and others that were competitive, or even much more for self employed that made their livings contracting to these major manufacturing employers. Take the construction workers, and plumbers, painters, and electricians, and even the laundry contractors that provided all the uniforms the workers were provided with to work in. Then.... all the other underlying workers that had a part to play... like the food trucks and other many services that catered to the working men and women. It's not Trumps fault, or Joe Bidens fault, or any one persons fault. If anything, it is the GOP's fault for never wanting to spending the money required for making the working ckass folks in jobs. Giving the wealthiest companies, and the ultra wealthy people that own them, a free pass on paying any taxes! That's is what causes the middle class to fail and lose their jobs .
There has to be penalties for out sourcing! If America put the brakes on, on importing 80% if its goods from China, Mexico, and other cheap competition like India, and Pakistan and Bangledesh, Vietnam, and all across Asia...
There should be some new laws that severely tax all importers like Walmart and IKEA, and all the big bix stores, and department store chains that are l making a killing off American consumers that like getting stuff cheap! There is a bug price for getting all that stuff cheaper. The price is ....
We keep losing all our American made manufacturing companies and jobs. Mist of the bug companies are maximizing their profits by going to countries where labor cost is dirt cheap! Plus they don't have to pay benifits, like healthcare insurance packages,or paid sick leave, or retirement pensions.... and way less taxes.
Why wouldn't big companies out source manufacturing and jobs? They are getting filthy rich by doing so....
Look at all the cars in American highways, they're all imported from China, Japan, Kore, and even Mexico!
Almost all American cotton goes to China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and India, or other 3rd world countries where they make all our clothing and shoes.
Look at Jeff Bezos, and the Walton- (Walmart inheritance beneficiaries) decendants. And all the other Billionaires. They just keep getting richer, and richer... but the Goo lets them destroy America by allowing them to not pay their share if taxes... WHY? Because they contribute hundreds of millions to re election campaigns. The Federalist society can determine who will get elected and who will not.
Say no more, very well said.
In economics there is something known as opportunity cost. It is the cost of not doing something else you could have done. This is the driving force for outsourcing. Yes we can produce textiles in the US, but it’s much cheaper to do so in Bangladesh and we in the US can build planes instead. This is great because goods will be cheaper and pay will be better. The issue is that people caught in the middle, those who lost their jobs will be in a bad position and areas that relied on heavily outsourced industry will become depressed. Overall there is a net benefit for America but some people and areas will face hardship in the short term as everything adjusts.
Also, most of the jobs lost in the U.S. are a result of automation and not outsourcing.
The manufacturing jobs we knew from the 20th Century are dead. Manufacturing that required massive human capital has ben replaced by automation, robotics, and AI. A plant that employed 2-300 workers in the 20th Century, will now be operated by 4-5 workers. In the near future, manufacturing will return to N. America. The jobs won't. We are for better or worse a service driven economy as far as workers are concerned. The industrial golden age is over for American workers.
Those jobs are never coming back. Gen Z isn’t going to do them. The only option is to get immigrants to do them.
American Gen Z would gladly take those jobs over a lot of other laborious jobs (I.E FastFood and Retail, the list can go on.) but for the wages and protections they desire, companies are better off just expanding their manufacturing in a country with less labor laws and lower minimum wage like China (Although countries like China are slowly starting to face the same issues so there could be hope for US manufacturing).
It's a massive cultural issue
He gave billionaires a tax cut. That’s all trump did. Was that on your checklist?
He also hurt farmers by starting a tariff war with China.
Maybe you demanded too much. The businesses had to move.
They didn't ''have" to in many cases, they chose to in order to increase their profits.
@@Sdakouls3
Would you drop a few turds to increase your profits?
the EPA is why the US will never get back into major manufacturing.
Maybe but the EPA's rules and enforcement have also reduced deaths from pollution by tens of thousands every year. Isn't it unfair to expect to expect the public to bear the cost of death and disease so that a particular industry can thrive?
@@ace625 I'm not saying that the regulations are a bad thing. Just pointing out that the politicians keep pushing to bring back the manufacturing while completely ignoring the facts as to why it's impossible.
How many western people enjoy their life in the Asian country. Asian people saved for other days. Look Africa now n last time after China step in. They have harbours, speed rail n nice roads
