The American left wing (Democrats) have spent over half a century driving
businesses out of the country and now they're complaining that the jobs
went with them.  Many people think it's because the American worker has
priced him(her)self out of the International market, but I think the main
reason is government meddling.

It is cheaper to import NAILS into this country than it is to make them
here.  Since almost no labor is involved in making nails the problem must
be government regulation.  Those who might not believe me should wander
down to Lowe's or Home Depot and look at the boxes of nails and see where
they're made - China, India and eastern Europe.  Likewise galvanized
electrical conduit and galvanized fence posts and fittings for chain link
fences are made in India and imported into the US.

Seamstresses.  Sewers are something else .  And no, I wouldn't.

Heh.  There's a local museum near my house that puts on a demonstration
every year of how harvesting was done a century ago.  They grow a couple
of acres of wheat and run it through a Case thresher.  It takes about
seven men and a tractor to run that thresher, and it takes another
tractor and five more men to bale the wheat straw that comes out of the
thresher.  In 1910 this was labor saving equipment.  Today one guy (or
gal) sitting in an air-conditioned combine cab harvests and threshes the
wheat in one operation, moving a LOT faster than his
great-great-grandfather did.

I live on the side of a 158-acre corn field (usually corn, sometimes
soybeans).  The farmer can harvest that whole field in one day, one guy
in one combine and one guy driving loads of grain back to the base for
storage in bins.
