We need to get a handle on that and bring back manufacturing here. Why is it so much cheaper to make stuff there then ship it 6000 miles? Labor costs cant be the only thing

Labor is a huge factor. And risks of unionizing. Health Insurance.

The number one largest expenditure of any company is labor. By a large margin.

It's hard to find investors that will put capitol in your company if you have razor thin margins. That's why China is able to crank shit out. Banks/investors roll them because their profit spreads are usually huge because of the near slave labor.

Democrat regulations, corporate taxes, labor unions, minimum wage hikes... the death of industry.

Born and raised in a blue collar family in Detroit and was indoctrinated regarding unions. Once again, I heard the unpatriotic self-absorbed (all about me) blather from the union bosses on talk radio regarding the presidential election and their support for Joe Biden. And once again, these gullible ignoramuses will take it in their backside by the deep state, who don't give a shit about them or their unions, only their votes.

He is what they deserve. Too bad we're gonna save them from themselves and have four more years of GEOTUS.
