value is largely generated in design, engineering and financing. assembly of goods designed by others is a pretty weaksauce way to make a living.

where's the schtick.

I've noticed this nationalistic idea, where people want to think that "their" front end labor is somehow better than the front end labor anywhere else... or that the nation is declining when another nation has better front end labor.

but the truth is, front end labor is the most interchangeable thing in the world.

people used to go on and on about how the japanese produced cheaper and more efficient cars because the workers in the factories did it better... so why does japan outsource to the U.S. now?

It's not that they had better "workers," they had better engineers, mangement, etc.

"Workers" are basically the same everywhere, it's white collar type shit that can really vary from place to place.
