    …are you fucking serious right now? Do you really think that offshoring your manufacturing means ‘moving out of America’, or that it’s done to ‘avoid paying taxes’? Do you not understand that the vast majority of a company’s value isn’t created in the sweatshops where laborers are paid nickels and dimes, but in the boardrooms of megacorps where marketing departments put thousand-dollar labels on smartphones that cost a hundred dollars to make?

        Wow, rock solid argument. ‘Yeah, idc if the US economy loses literal trillions if companies like MS and Apple move out! Who cares right?!’

        Seriously, thanks for reminding me that, while things are already pretty fucking bleak, we’re still not living in the worst-case scenario.

            Better that than someone with no substantial argument to make. Maybe take some time to actually learn about how our economy functions? From books I mean, not YouTube videos
