The US definitely needs stronger laws here.
As an adult, I’ve enjoyed leisurely reading through this code to help unravel how it works.
Literally everything that does not require a US stamp or certification is being outsourced. Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, non-software architecture, customer support, project management, and even accounting. This is not good for the US as a country. American workers are not competitive right now, unfortunately, considering the high cost of living and strength of the dollar. Also, American workers will find it hard to get a work visa in a very low cost of living country if they do wish to pursue a career where their field has been outsourced.
I think that rust is missing something like the above, and the attempt is appreciated by me.
It’s difficult, and would be painful at first, but as a nation we owe it to each other. We can’t have the whole country turn into the rust belt. We can’t have people turning to drugs to cope with the pain of becoming economically redundant.
I’m surprised no candidate supports this. I think they would win easily.
Meanwhile, while I fly into the Atl, their headquarters, the workers at the airport tell me how they are on food stamps! Come on, America. Wake up.
I think the problem is debt. The power of debt has outstripped any buying power of an individual worker.
I would be careful to read into these things too much.
