This Is The Vote That Changed China Forever

What can t China do? What can t China make? They have the best port logistics. They have low cost capital, like the U.S. They have abundant labor, more than the U.S. They excel at STEM while the U.S. focuses on the humanities. And their motive is often not profit, but job creation and retention. They will quite literally make a widget for a $1 and sell it to you for $0.50 if it means keeping hundreds of people employed.

Wellstone knew it way back when.

What kind of future do we want, anyway?, he said.  A future in which subsistence wages and abuse of worker rights drag down standards across the globe, or a future in which we civilize the global economy so it can work for working families at home and abroad?

That question has been answered by the majority, and it s the latter. Like before, it s Washington that is still trying to figure it out.
