You mean, they picked a job in manufacturing that anyone can do, but they're upset when they want cheaper prices and move?
Pick a real job that requires skill and makes you an asset.

Manufacturing is LITERALLY this nations backbone, we can't be an independent country without manufacturing. Do you want a shitty service economy?
Here's a previous comment of mine addressing the benefits of manufacturing in the US https://voat.co/v/politics/comments/815466/4041797

That's exactly what has to happen. Almost all of my friends kids in law school were open borders/free trade until they started outsourcing document review (the job that goes to law students and new hires). Now suddenly they give a damn about outsourcing. I have really mixed emotions - on the one hand, foreigners taking American jobs, on the other hand, unemployed lawyers.
