“pissplatteln” pops up in my mind every time someone says “piss”

those who know, know

Consider:

scenario today:

labor cost for product is $3, which goes to a chinese worker. total product cost is $5.

scenario “manufactured in the USA”:

labor cost is $6, which goes to american worker. total product cost is $10.

the product gets more expensive, but the extra expenses partially go to an american worker, which again will spend the money in the US economy, so it doesn’t really cost the national economy that much.

however, the extra $4 in the “manufactured in the USA” scenario go to american middle-management and “investors” a.k.a skimmed by the owning class. that is why the people would still lose out. that is why “home-shoring” in itself is not enough; a wealth tax is also needed.

You can make it if you just believe in yourself!

At some point one has to ask oneself not whether one can, but whether one should. Is it really worth it trying everything and giving your all for a company which will probably ditch you in the end, after all? I don’t think so. Don’t put in more effort than you expect to get as a result.

I understand you’re excited, but aren’t you overdoing it a bit?

In fact not. I may be awkward, but I’m not evil or cruel. So that’s that.
