Lol, and you are another who insists that other commenters prove your assertions for you. Why don’t you provide specific examples of all the plants you claim cannot be built due to red tape.

You don't have to prove my assertions, just your own.

So far you've established your ignorance on zoning, building, environmental and regulatory law in America.

Why not double down? Opinion's as good as fact.

You've proved your ignorance of the history of the loss of US manufacturing jobs and the more recent trend of outsourcing skilled jobs. As I said, the movement of US manufacturing to cheap labor nations preceded the EPA and most of the other more restrictive laws brought about by extreme environmentalists.

Learn something about US/Japan trade in the 1950s and 1960s. Learn something about the Maquiladora program started in the 1960s. That's when the big moves to cheap labor started, well before the EPA. The movement of jobs to cheap labor exactly follows the removal of import tariffs, as with Japan fifty years ago, and as with the Maquiladoras before NAFTA, and after,(also had to reduce tariffs into Mexico in the 1960s, IF the materials were to be reprocessed and exported back to the US).

Like so many on here, you seem to have only begun noting US trade policies very recently. It's a post WWII story, at least, not a story of the past couple of decades.
