Lost Jobs

Millions of American jobs have been lost in the last few years. Shipped to China, Mexico, or other places with cheap labor, miniscule taxes, and impotent governments. The places which took American jobs, all had several things in common. Things which America used to possess, but no longer has. Skill? Ability and desire to work? Hardly. American workers are the best in the world. Education? Learning has little to do with factory work, which has vanished. Tax benefits for corporations who ship jobs overseas? Partially, and perhaps this should be examined, but not here.
Don is pondering the jobs - or lack of them - problem.
