That was such a great and timely video
America has lost its manufacturing greatness, we don't make things or things people want. Sure iPods and so on, but where are they made?
The last part about commerce and how money flows back to the consumers own pocket book is SO PROFOUND! Where is China's wealth coming from? They made s#%t and lots of it.......their quality is good and getting better. Cars? Japan beat our butts in the 80's and 90's and we are paying for it now....Booo

Simple solution! Tell the fucking ignorant corporations, sure!, you can sell your Chinese made goods here, with a 50% tariff....... Oh, I forgot, the corporations tell the government what to do!

7 billion people need 7 billion jobs so it's not impossible to keep up with the the demand of 7 billion people by using people. Robots are for reducing labor costs, so that the manufacturers make more money. Things would have worked much better if the manufactures where willing to meet the consumer & labor somewhere in the middle Well yea it's over, but it could be said it has been over for some time now.

Made In The USA, those were the days? Then came the Japanese, and Korean goods, Then the Chinese. I remember when people used to bitch about everything being made in Japan. Those were good times compared to the days of everything being made in China. Didn't slavery end? Not in China! We support slavery in China, right here in America, when we buy Chinese goods. People don't even give a shit anymore, it's disgusting what we've become?

Somebody still has to build the 400 burger per minute machines and all the robotics used to build robots. At the very source of manufacturing there is still a need for a person in the loop.

In Australia, to receive radio (and later TV), your household had to have a licence (license), up until 1972. At that time I listened to a 'crystal set' which did not require one. With the proliferation of radios (mainly transistor radios) and their portability, and radios which ceased to work (mainly tube ones) people objected to paying for something which does not work in their house..

There were only TWO Billion people in the world in the 50's, SEVEN Billion now. Do you people even understand this type of Human Assembly you see here, It would have been Impossible to keep up with demand for Seven Billion people?.
Even IF the Jobs were in America, It would be manned by ROBOTS. It would be as if it wasn't here anyway. So please, get that through your thick skulls.
fast food chains will soon be manned by 400 Burger Per Minute Machines. It's over people, grow up.

China's success has been based on the genius of American inventors. Remember that we still have dominance in the product design department. I wish I grew up in a time when we still made our own stuff though.
