The problem is in our trading partner China which artificially surpresses the value of its currency.

And the people who keep buying cheap *****.

if you want jobs back here all you need to do is return something that you broke.....

heres how it is now:

buy cheap crap, it breaks after 5 minutes, you say oh well its cheap crap, accept it that it broke and throw it away, maybe even buy another to finish the job

cheap crap maker says, hey they dont bring stuff back so it must be too good, shame on me I made it too good the next one will be worse or even cheaper.

now if you take it back:

cheap crap maker gets flooded with returns, cost of return and logistics is 5X the cost of the product sold, profits go down and then into red on that peice of crap. wont sell that particular peice of crap any more, or will make a little better quality peice of crap until the return rate makes it profitable again, suddenly it cost the crap maker the same as here plus he has to ship it, cant compete with a local maker, out of this crap making business
