No one "shipped jobs overseas." What happens is that foreign manufacturers get
better and better at producing goods that Americans will buy, and because their
costs are lower, production shifts to foreign firms.

In the 1960s, Japanese cars imported into the USA were seen as inferior — they
were small, flimsy, and somewhat unreliable. Some people who couldn't afford
huge gas-guzzling American land yachts, which were *equally* unreliable, bought
the Japanese cars. Over time, Japanese cars became sturdy and reliable, and
their market share rose. American car manufacturing jobs declined. Those jobs
were not "shipped overseas" to Japan. The Japanese car companies simply
out-competed the American manufacturers, and the American firms' market shares
declined...and they *shrank*, which means shedding employees. *That's just how
it goes*.

No jobs are ever "shipped overseas." What happens is that foreign firms who sell
us stuff grow, while domestic firms who used to make the same stuff shrink, and
thus domestic employment in the manufacture of that stuff falls, while foreign
employment in the manufacture of the same stuff grows. But no jobs are "shipped"
overseas. That's a nonsense metaphor. Nonsense = bullshit = stupid.

Where were you when we all sold our souls to Audi? It's the Alienware

What don't you like about Audi? I had a 1992 Audi 90, and it was a great car.

More delusions from "Cunt Flaps" Canoza.

WHY do you insist on proving what a stupid fuck you are EVERY SINGLE
DAY?
