Re: Re:Musk being on the left?
Sanders has been on the "jobs jobs jobs" train for decades - despite us all knowing that even if businesses return to an area, most of the jobs won't
The primary reason businesses move manufacturing/etc bases isn't "cheap labour" but "automation" - it's much harder to lay of 75% of your workforce in-place than to simply up sticks and start from scratch elsewhere (Classic example: 12,000 employee car factories in Detroit became 1500 employee car factories in Sonora - whilst the rhetoric was about "cheap mexican workers", those workers are actually extremely well paid and it's merely a distraction. The British ship building industry lost to Japan for the same reason and Japan lost to Korea because the Koreans developed modularised techniques which vastly reduced the amount of time lost to labour simply getting on/off the jobsite)
