It's a sign of the times out there. This has happened in the past. Probably a little more then we care to imagine. Just look at the British car and motorcylce industry. Almost non existent in todays modern world. Hard to believe that 50 years ago that the Brits were world leaders.
I do believe we in North America are selling ourselves out to basic corporate greed and we are all to blame for this. We are in the pinch we are in right now because we as a society have gone for the easy cash first instead of helping in the common cause. It is all coming home to roost. I truly do believe that a little bit of protectionism is not a bad thing.
What are we going to do when we have no industry left. How will be able to ramp up for war like we could during the Second World War.
Big business and big government are selling out their people.
