Its cheaper to dis-assemble an entire manufacturing plant bolt by bolt, ship it all off to Brazil or South east Asia, re-assemble, and resume production than it is to continue operations in the USA.


Because the US economic model is flawed. As technology increased production, workers wages or hours didn't reflect that....however the owners and CEO's and mangers did. We (were there any justice in the world) could have 20 hour work weeks, plenty of vacation-that hasn't been the case. It's called a class war-the wealthy are fighting it with lobbyists and campaign financing every single day, while the majority, most of the middle and lower classes -don't even realize a war is being waged.

Coupled with a corrupt banking system, and "fractional reserve banking", wealth is funneled toward the top...and entire states, towns, cities-those manufacturing jobs paid the bills, put food on the table...to see it go so bad, AND to see corruption from so called leaders, can sure drive someone crazy.


A profit motivated system doesn't always to what's best for the people working within it, and i'd say mostly does the opposite. As far as mental health-its is no sign of health to be well-adjusted to a sick society.
There's plenty for all.

We are an impossibility in an impossible universe.
