Comment on The US Used to Demand the Best Tech. Now We Ban Itparent

You've cracked the code on this one, it's not the fact that someone realized they could use labor arbitrage 50 years ago to get rich while selling the American people down the river. Treason in the name of profit.

Labor arbitrage isn't why the average personal vehicle MPG in the US is 25, but 40 in Europe.

Nobody bombed us, all our problems are self-inflicted. Reducing America's oil and energy consumption was a priority for both parties until fracking was discovered and the Republicans fully committed to setting the world on fire.

Labor arbitrage as treason is a very interesting idea. It's a major reason why China is as developed as it is now.
