I'm sure you believed the same about Japan back in the 1980s.

1980s: "The Japanese are taking our JAHBS!!!"

1990s: "The Mexicans are taking our JAHBS!!!"

2000s: "The Chinese are taking our JAHBS!!!"

BTW: Don't the wannabe proletarians realize that industrial employment as a share of total employment has DROPPED WORLDWIDE, even in China?

In Soviet Russia, Americans take jobs from YOU. :D

Nice post, btw!

I’m glad someone else remembers these things you’ve listed. I’m no economist, but I remember the fears people had of the Japanese in the 80s. A horrible movie, Gung-ho, was made about it (I believe that’s the name— Michael Keaton??).

Far too many lack faith in America and our ability to adapt and excel. They were crying about jobs in the buggy whip industry back in the day.
