You are quite right. Thanks for the history lesson. The labor thing was also regional. The New england knitting mills all moved down South because of its abundance of cheap labor. The political solution many times is and was add some type of political barrier, which was always too little too

There is an open source aspect to all of this that may be good news for domestic technical workers. The more open source software is used by end users and companies, the more need there will be for folks that are local. That is, when a business is using Linux for example, they will need to have co
