Or look at it this way:
My grandfather went from riding a horse to school and milling grain with water power to being a penniless refugee to flying in jet planes and laying out highways with lasers.
And we are complaining that the world changes?

The world changes, that's the constant.
The next constant is that thus far, we have not only survived, but we have prospered.
We will again.

When competition tries to break one's market, the best (and simplest) solution is to buy the competition.
When we contract these Indian factories to produce goods for us, we are effectively buying the competition.

We "protected" our auto industry from the Japanese with tariffs.
In turn, they had no option but to build factories here.
We think we saved our auto industry that way, and we saved lots of jobs.
Yet...
The Japanese now own the home market.
I'd rather employ foreigners, than be employed by them.
So, we go to India, and build factories.
They are OUR factories.
