      You joke but Maga dad says we should be like China every time we talk. And he gets his news from that Oan whatever you call it.

      Last conversation, "Your son get job yet? " “Nope got 3 months of high school left.” “In China they send kids to work when they are 6.” “Okay dad but this isn’t China.”

      “Well we should work like they do, and they willing to work for way less.”

      Fucker really thinks we can bring jobs back to America if we are willing to work for the same pay and hours that they do in China.

        He’s not wrong, though. If people were willing to work for slave wages, they’d bring the jobs back. Outsourcing and shipping finished products across the world would be more expensive at that point.

        The problem is that it requires people being willing to work for slave wages.
