Re: More on the Gibson story
I don't think they think it's OK they are just not capable of doing what it takes to attract business here, instead of chasing it off.
An interesting blurb that was leaked from the upcoming Steve Jobs biography was a conversation about why he doesn't build his Apple products here. The answer from him reportedly was because he couldn't source the several hundred engineers here to work in the factories to support the tens of thousands of workers to assemble the I-poop.
I don't think it's quite that simple, as there is a huge supply chain infrastructure for components and sub assemblies that has gravitated to that far east center of gravity for manufacturing, but it's clear we need to improve our schools and somehow motivate kids to pursue science.
We need to do more positive things, like the free trade bills finally approved, and less negative for trade moves like the tariffs on imported tires, that just caused China to react in kind with duties on chicken and other US farm exports.
I don't think it's governments job to somehow create jobs or save the economy, but I wish they would stop fiddling about and claiming they can or will, like all the several candidates

PS: Hon Hai who currently still builds the I-poop has announced they will buy one million robots. Apparently hey figure the robots won't jump from tall dormitory buildings and cause them embarrassment.
