    Please try your best to engage in good faith and not make things up.

    if you want, you can try restating the argument you were trying to make before you slipped and typed out a ramble about how the us is bad

    The original topic was investment

    money isn’t the only thing you invest when you set up a manufacturing base

      Slipped up? I directly responded to the comparison to US offshoring that you made to explain why this is different. I guess you have no answer.

      Please do your best to act in good faith. It’s okay for you to say, “that’s a good point, I will think about it” or not reply at all. It is not okay for you to make things up.

      If you took ten seconds to think about it, having any financial component makes my point correct and yours incorrect. Your zero sum game logic simply does not apply on multiple levels, as I have explained.

      This might be clearer to you if you actually dealt with what I said instead of cherry picking.
