those jobs are in guatemala because thats where free markets dictate they belong. We can certainly bring those jobs back by eliminating minimum wages. But its pointless to discuss that since it is the wrong direction & will never happen.

The reason #2 is the religion of shareholder value that took hold in MBA programs as the 80s went on. As the labor is nothing more than a cost center to wharton MBAs, & there is no morality left in business school, the labor side gets the shaft.

a solution you & i would agree upon is a good dose of elizabeth warren style populism! jack up those tariffs. Stop this unfair trade crap with china. alter the taxes to incentivize insourcing instead of outsourcing.

& maybe Harvard business school should do studies on Costco & market basket & realize that paying higher wages gives you better employees & happier customers due to those happier employees.

good luck with getting the 1% on board with that. They might have to sacrifice a yacht!

I completely agree about tariffs. There are many places in the world that tax the hell out of US goods, but we don't do it to them in return. By taking away the incentive of moving offshore it can keep those jobs here.
