>>I think that severe Federal regulations have more to do with outsourcing labor than supply-side economics. Moving a company outside the borders reflects poor tax policy. Outsourcing labor reflects excessive regulations, i.e. setting the minimum wage to $15.
The big outsourcing boom began 20 years before anyone mentioned a $15/hr minimum wage. That’s just a boogeyman. Outsourcing happened because the internet and the ISO container ship made it cheap. Period. Everything else is just an excuse used to cover the real reason.
