Mr. Reich, Thank you for doing what you thought was right, even when it was not popular. If Americans knew how much they were being exploited, they would not support Candidates who support Corporations, at the expense of American Citizens.

[@Andyhoffman98]

No one is trying to create a Soviet Union. It’s all you guys have to say against any regulations. We all want capitalism but with regulations.

[@akashzz4347]

Michael Mansheim I think we both agree on the point that, "in communist state there is no market", in Russia throughout the cold war era, job market did exist. Now, coming to HDI, let's measure based upon RI(Religious Index, (there is no such Index)) middle east fares far better than western Europe, the point I would like to make is development have many meanings, according to some it is modern education, for some religious education, for some staying alive, for some living with honor, for some it is social security, for some it is wealth, we should not force one meaning of development on others. Protect diversity

[@djrocksgaming6255]

Michael Mansheim The Soviet Union wasn't communist-it was socialistic (it was technically a mixed-market economy). There has NEVER been a communist country, as communism can't be communism if the state is involved. Denmark isn't socialist either; it's social democratic, which is still capitalism but more industries are socialized and there's a welfare state involved. Btw, I live in Texas, and the only reason that Texas is doing good is because of its natural resources (something California doesn't exploit very much) and the liberal cities like Houston and Austin.

[@UpperCaseX]

You had me until you incentivised in the investment in the failed education system here. I don't think the college snowflake culture being pumped out today will help with building high quality anything. Neither will your social justice and violence promoting videos aide the manufacturing industries. The overreacting regulations for corporations likely do not create incentive for companies to flourish. And most of all, the socialism system which you support will create worse product quality, much like from Soviet Russia or China

[@UpperCaseX]

But on a lighter note, I do admire the time you put into the graphics. Hopefully, those students who helped you get some extra points

[@Crovea]

I live in the most "socialistic" country in the world and our products and companies are highly regarded around the world. The countries in this video also has just as many regulations on corporations as the U.S. The US campus culture has gotten to a weird spot I agree but that affects politics, not education and quality of work done.

[@UpperCaseX]

Jacob Jensen Its not impossible to have that as a case for a short time. I have several questions, perhaps you can disclose. What country do you live in? What is the population there? How long has it been 'socialistic'?

[@Crovea]

Denmark, 6 million, something like since the end of ww2. Our government runs a surplus and has no foreign debt so I'm pretty sure it's as least as sustainable as certain countries with massive deficits that I can think of.

[@davidhollenshead4892]

"I don't think the college snowflake culture being pumped out today will help with building high quality anything. " Because you are Ignorant, because a college degree shows that a job applicant can handle declines, do research, discuss their work, etc. etc. "Neither will your social justice and violence promoting videos aide the manufacturing industries." Mr. Reich has never promoted violence. "The overreacting regulations for corporations likely do not create incentive for companies to flourish." While Japan has been successful, despite dumping it's Toxic Waste in the ocean, most of our Successful NATO Allies have strong environmental regulations. The reason we have regulations for corporations is to prevent harm, like the Radium Women [also known as Radium Girls]: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls

[@aixamagr2897]

@Dennis Young Mr Reich did not mention OUTSOURCING at all. Doesn't fit his agenda it seems. Will Trump's policies bring back jobs to Boeing and other companies? Isn't that the point? Mr Reich also complains about economic nationalism but at least two of the countries, South Korea and Japan, have such policies. There are other problems with this presentation such as the wage comparison at the beginning. These countries all have variable policies and cultures so mixing them up to get the desired talking points is completely disingenuous. I hope more people read your comment.

A couple of problems here. While improved education and training may help Americans become more competitive with the countries that produce parts for Boeing, how would they help Americans be more competitive with China, Mexico and Guatemala? Secretary Riech gives a lecture that is clearly motivated by politics. I would like him to explain how American manufacturing workers are to compete against workers from third world countries making a fraction of their wages. Huffy bicycles, Radio Flier wagons and and Arrow shirts are not made in Japan or Europe. But they were once made in the US. And where do you suppose they are made today? Mr Riech should visit Millville NJ, Bridgeton NJ,and Bethlehem PA and tell the people how his ideas will get the jobs back. Saying that the US must invest in better training and education is just politicianspeak for "We really don't have a plan at all".

[@themetricsystem7967]

"the conscious consumer" is the latest thing in norway. more and more people choose quality products from norway over cheap crappy things from china, over child labor products, over long distance shipped products, over unethically produced products, but we can afford to use our voice as consumers and be patriotic in our shopping. the reason we can afford it, involves the rest of the economic and political system in our country. particularly that our system have largely made social mobility upwards possible for most people since the end of WW II. the off-spring has generally been better off than their parents for the last 4-5 generations. neither is consumerism in the form of buy-and-throw as strong as in the US any more. many norwegians (and other western europeans as well) have switched their priorities. we did have that big consumerism trend, but it is a trend that has decreased. spending money on quiet places/holiday real estates, mountain hiking trips and experiences, and making leisure periods as peaceful and quiet as possible, over huge houses and lots of things, is the new trend. this trend is linked to environment consciousness as well. this trend is going back to the old days, in a way. some of the items you buy - sometimes handcrafted - might cost several times more than something produced in china, but you know it will also last you a lot longer, sometimes for generations.

[@xebek]

Which definition is that? Trade is any exchange of goods and/or services. I can import cars while also exporting my own cars. We routinely trade for items we also produce. Whether it be for mutually beneficial agreements or simply more variety for both markets. Sure, you can trade for items you don't have, but we import and export the same - or similar - items all the time. Also, your stereotypes about Chinese goods is hundreds of years out of date.

[@tonyofarrell2775]

Sorry, but Trump doesn't have the intelligence to understand this

[@jimScienceNerd]

When the plane was first being made, their were some big problems with parts made in other countries not fitting together. That was a serious problem at the start. And it was easy to fault the company for outsourcing the wages and parts while retaining the risk for things not fitting. I think sales were delayed because of this, and that made money tight at Boeing for a while. Of course, i think money is tight when any new aircraft is starting up.

[@rparl]

When I worked for an aerospace firm, we subcontracted on a bid which was to study a particular French technology. But the bid had the customary Buy American clause added. So the prime contractor subcontracted with us to acquire the items.

isnt trumps plan to increase manufacturing and tariffs. Companies are smart enough to make a cost analysis of import export as well as if they should open a factory internationally. If more factories are opened in America and we pay less for imports thats a win... up to covid all the data point towards trumps economic growth plan working. The goal isnt to build parts here if the cost of sourcing the raw materials is more expensive... its to increase manufacturing jobs and have better import export deals that dont force us to lose jobs to globalism.

Automakers from Japan and Germany have set up massive operations in the U.S. and Trump still rages against them. He doesn't understand how global supply chains work with respect to manufacturing. It's also important to note that regarding services - where the U.S. consistently runs a huge trade surplus with the rest of the world - they might just as well not exist as far as Trump is concerned, because he really does not seem to grasp that whole aspect of the trade equation at all. His mindset is stuck firmly in the mid-20th century.
