Its as if the anti American pro foreign alleged US Gov’t did it all on purpose after 1971. Regarding new business start ups? I saw MANY of them, because wages were so high, before 1970, employees had knowledge and money, quit their jobs and started businesses in their garage. One guy I know had kick presses upstairs in his house. LOL. Later they rent a building and grow.
I always thought we don’t have our own govt, we must have someone else’s. Our own gov’t would not have sold us out like that after 1971. The 2008 crash was sort of a blessing. Causing change. Old Seattle Sun used to say re manufacturing, we only had two choices. Shut down or relocate off shore. Two times I saw trucks loading up production equipment, going to the docks in NYC and machinery going overseas.
