“You want a job sewing clothes? You want a job soldering circuit boards? “

No offense, but have you bought (anything) recently?

Are you living in a cave?

Sewing clothes? Are you kidding? EVERY job in America is being lost.

All of it. Top to bottom.

If you were to eliminate trade with China, then where do you propose to obtain the goods you used to buy from them? Someone has to make them. Are you suggesting that we buy Chinese products because we just feel like it and if we do not feel like it anymore, then we just do not need that shirt or toy or whatever it was we were just willy nilly spending money on? Not every job is leaving the country. What planet do you live on?

Do you ever look around? Do you live in America? Do you live on the Earth? There are over 139 million people working in this country. About 15 million more than after the 1994 revolution.

Almost all of the soldering I've seen done in Japan is done by wave solder machines, with the components being stuffed automatically, from rolls selected by the machine. That is one reason that through hole soldering has been replaced by surface mount technology, it really lends itself to automation.
