    Due to the loose labour laws, weak unions and low low wages in Germany and the UK plenty of jobs went from the US to those countries. Especially Britain is known for having taken many jobs in the manufacturing sector.

      You kid. Yet, fwiw, those jobs didn’t go to the US either, “despite” weak unions, low taxes and prevalent right-to-work BS. Wages in manufacturing are still high compared to Chinese wages. And in addition, China suddenly has a supply-chain advantage in a lot of niches because everyone went there.

        Also, I’m pretty sure Germany has pretty strong unions. Hell, even the UK unions are probably 10x better than American ones.
