If that is your stance make sure you invest with the same thing in mind.

Companies move their production to boost the stock price to get investors to buy stock and boost company value.

Companies are "making more money" because we are rewarding them with investment.

The problem with Made in the USA is that everyone has principles until their own pocketbook is involved.

Yep. The limits of my virtual signal ends at free.

The "Americans won't do those jobs" line is utter bullshite. They just want a living wage to do it,

Careful. You're dangerously close to the other side.

I think there is some truth to it. I have a friend who runs a landscape company. He tried to start hiring more Americans and found that he could hire them, but they didn’t last more than a week or two. I’ll concede that you could pay enough to overcome that. Just to make the point, if you paid a million dollars per year you’d have people who stayed on the job, but the point is that the rate you’d have to pay would destroy half the industry because customers would not cover those costs.

The largest employer in the US going out of business wouldn’t affect you one iota?

Trading with China raises our standard of living. Our hyper manic tariff policy is stupid.

The problem with the lower skilled trades like concrete finishers, bricklayers, handymen, etc is the white people that do it are shitty compared to the Mexicans. They don’t show up on time, they’re trashy, and their quality of work is terrible compared to a legal or illegal Mexican.
