Shouldn't we agree some goods just don't make sense for an American to make?
Shouldn't we agree some goods just don't make sense for an American to make?
we make the robots that can do that anon
So just make high quality textiles? wtf
do liberals really want slave children making their clothes that badly?
wtf?
Everything should be made in America. Imported goods should be a novelty like they were in the 80s.
those factories take say 3000 people per? (whatever est) we can built them automate them and employ say 200 Americans in a skilled but easy maintenance job per factory or more
I’d rather pay $300 for a good pair of jeans made locally than $60 for a pair that lasts a year at best. It’s expensive to be poor, buying cheap crap costs more in the long run.
yeah, I don't know what that retard thinks would happen if there's suddenly a 100% tariff on a country we import clothes from
A t-shirt going from $2 to $4 to import causing the end consumer to have to pay $16 instead of $12? No not that
The actual result would be this absurd fantasy where people are asked/forced to work for well below market rate
Barring the issue of minimum wage, Nobody is going to work for $3 a day when McDonalds pays $15 an hour. They'll either pay the tariff or build a robot since obviously paying american workers $15 an hour to put buttons on a shirt when a robot that costs $1 an hour to run can do it better is not reasonable.
3000 workers
3000 garments/hour
total salary $4500/hour
clothes fall apart in 1 year
vs
300 workers
300 garments/hour
total salary also $4500/hour
clothes last 10 years
its funny here in texas mcdonalds metric is 18 an hour. possibly energy cost going into that or the remodel costs don't justify it yet.
not opposed to that but i am opposed to repetitive work injury for Whites
Why are all the shills ignoring how much these countries tariff our products? Do you think just maybe it's possible that Trump is trying to get them to drop their tariffs on our products? Then he'll drop the tariffs on their products? Hmm, seems too fair
i am opposed to repetitive work injury for Whites
Let me tell you about retail, manufacturing, warehousing, assembling, transportation, contracting, public utilities work... heck, even office workers have carpal tunnel or back problems all the time.
i rock a desk now days but used to rock a parachute, all that shit for Whites needs to stop is all I am saying,
You shouldn't be, there is no shortage of low tier Whites that are perfect for menial labor and if they're working then they're not niggering. They deserve wages that they can be self sufficient though, meaning own a home and afford groceries.
idiot. Americans would just automate the button sewing
some things take longer than a few days to make sense and sometimes you have to make decisions that hurt for the moment but help you in the future. the capacity to do that is something that sets us apart from the animals
Buy expensive clothes that look great and last a long time
Use hemp instead of cotton which could be grown in vast quantities and is three times more durable.
pay White people good wages and keep money circulating here instead of hemorrhaging it overseas.
What about $300 for a pair of jeans that lasts a year vs $60 for a pair of jeans that last a year? Because that is realistically what you will get.
The US South used to have hundreds of textile plants turning US cotton into clothing of all kinds with US leather products as well as recently as the 1980s. Milliken for example.
We've done this shit before so don't tell me we can't do it again.

Uh huh... And where are those companies now? They uhh... They went out of business.
Yeah, no. Western craftsmanship is superior. I have 1960s Craftsman tools I got from my Father-in-Law and can feel the quality compared to the modern ones made by the ho-chis. Now you need to pay 4x the import price to get high-quality Snap-On tools. Once manufacturing comes back to the US scale economies will kick in and production costs will go down.
How much did your Father-in-Law pay for those Craftsman tools in the 1960s? I bet you have no idea, do you?
Less than the cost of buying chinese-shit every year or two of your life. Lmao.
Plus unlike the chinesium it's built to spec and actually does the job properly.
Yep, you have no fucking clue. How did I know?
Nigger people in the 60's could buy a fucking house on a single average wage.
Tools were never as expensive as a house. Why are you trying to perform historical revisionism?
muh direction brain
Anyway
Would be nice to have generations of people who *do* know how to sew a button back on
Jesus christ
Yes we should absolutely let China continue to make our American flags.
based redneck understander
Do trumptards really want American children making their clothes that badly for two to three times the cost of imported clothes?
wtf?
Why would someone in Australia know how much my FiL paid for tools? And no, I don’t know either. The point is that they are 60 years old and still work great.
All my stuff is old, I don’t need to go shopping all the time like some teeny bopper. Americans consoom way too much, it’s a sickness. These tariffs on our allies are goofy but maybe Americans having to pay more for stuff will help them appreciate what they have.
These are the same pieces of shit proclaiming any business that can't pay a "living wage" should be allowed to exist. They're hypocrites all of them
Tools were never as expensive as a house.
When did I say tools were as expensive as a house? Are you high? Are you blind?
Any job that can be done by a keyboard is being replaced by AI
Manual labor jobs require hardware investment
Majority of Americans are still brain washed into thinking UBI is evil communism.
Whats your alternative exactly? Lose our jobs to AI and replace them with nothing but homelessness?
Why are kikes so mad about Americans wanting to bring back manufacturing jobs? Dreyfuss
American children making their clothes
There’s a lot of girl bosses in DC who are recently out of work. Maybe they should learn 2 sew.
You think it was not kikes who came up with this plan?
nike cant make a profit on $200 shoes unless they are made in a vietnamese sweatshop
Why can't countries make their own basic necessities?
They can't make their own clothes? Their own dishes and silverware?
I could see why some objects require a world effort but not basics...

The United States used to have a booming textile and furniture industry before the 90's gutted all of it. As a southerner I watched my town die and agonizing death as all the factories shit down and all our parents lost their jobs and had to become nurses or some other bullshit. The 90's wasn't a great decade for everyone. Everyone down here realized both political parties hated us.
This. Lefties talk about equity and muh carbon footprint but then chimp out when they have to pay $2 more for their throw-away fashion that was made by slave labor.
Are you brown? Are you jewish? Gross.
UBI is evil communism.
UBI isn't communism, it's just impossible, because it's based on a fundamental misunderstanding of what money is.
An economy is just a pile of stuff. Money is a thing we all agree to exchange for every other kind of stuff, in ratios that reflect how much people care about each kind of stuff. If you give everyone money, all that happens is the ratio of money to stuff changes, so it takes more money to buy the same amount of stuff. We just went through 4 years of this.
UBI seeks to make stuff more affordable by increasing the amount of money. But if you don't increase the amount of stuff, you just end up with higher prices, because that's what price is.
women, idiots, old people, etc working in a sustainable cottage industry
how is this bad at all?
$3 shirt becomes $3.50
Oh shit the world is collapsing! I'm still waiting for then day when I actually get to see a leftist admit that he's not as smart as he thinks he is.
all jobs should pay enough to buy a house
just not here in our country
The left, everyone.
slave children making their clothes
guess what nigger, you don't need children to sew clothes
you also don't need a billion new shirts produced every day to be sold by 700% margin in malls
that's how world functioned 40 years ago
Yes. Liberals are entirely driven by their desire to maintain and expand their bourgeois lifestyle. They don't care about truth, justice, objectivity, or consistency, just whoever they have been programmed to believe will allow them to continue to consoom product.
tariff imports and prevent flow of cheap labour via mass immigration
local companies forced to hire local OR automate and upgrade their tech
creates more tech jobs and fuel the robot automation revolution
How can normies still not understand that globalization and mass migration have fucked the middle class 90% of them are worse off than their parents generation?
How can normies still not understand
millions in MSM narratives? you can see the trends daily, every local newspaper sources Reuters and such conglomerate jewish companies
No, UBI alters the form money takes (interest bearing to non-interest bearing) and changes the distribution.
I think i still have a Girbaud sweatshirt from the late 80s that was made in the usa. Its very thin though.
The whole manufacturing process has changed since then and shady companies degrade steel. they can still be made cheaper in the usa than they were made back then adjusted for inflation.
When I was a kid in North Carolina in the 80s and early 90s the textile industry was the backbone of our economy and because of Clinton's trade policies all those jobs moved away so our ruling class could run sweat shops overseas.
When those jobs were here they were supporting American families with a living wage.
I'm sure those who prefer doing textile work in Indonesia rather than rice farming will appreciate your disdain for those "slave jobs."
No, UBI alters the form money takes (interest bearing to non-interest bearing) and changes the distribution.
It doesn't matter. You have the same number of people wanting the same amount of stuff. If you want more people to be able to afford more stuff, there has to be more stuff, not more money.
Because of low tariffs on China and Walmart lobbying.
Go ahead side with Walmart against American workers.
I really miss quality textiles. Twisted t-shirts after one wash. Fuck global trade, I want local.
what happens when these countries continue to develop and they prefer neither? or are we supposed to prevent that so they become permanent proles for us. your logic is fucking retarded.
no more retail therapy, poorfags.
Do trumptards really want American children making their clothes that badly for two to three times the cost of imported clothes?
wtf?
No, they want beaners and pajeets making them, but inside the US so that all the profit goes to jews.
A t-shirt going from $2 to $4 to import causing the end consumer to have to pay $16 instead of $12? No not that
If that's the case why the fuck would you tariff them in the first place? It's just a flat tax increase on whatever we can't make here.
You MIGA faggots support tax increases now?
it's hilarious that this becomes a "moral issue" when you have no other way to defend the absolute retardation here. good show
It depends on the pay. With strong enough tariffs to make foreign imports completely obsolete, domestic alternatives become possible for reasonable prices & salary, but would likely require subsidies.
You act like this is some great own without realizing that America is a consumer based economy and without the poorfags spending every cent they have our whole nation would collapse. This whole fucking thing exposes the retardation of nu Anon Babble.

What a stupid fucking argument.
America is by far the biggest consumer market. If we only made $3/day, there would be nobody to buy your shitty $100 jacket.
If we purchase the robot ourselves and send to work in a factory we can make money off of it and bring back slavery. No one would be able to stop us because who gives a shit about robo-rights?
(((Dreyfuss)))
Also, this is an incredibly racist take. Also, it confronts people like him with the uncomfortable proposition that those of the types of jobs they SHOULD have, instead of whatever cushy make-work desktop shit they're currently doing.
