the issue is North American jobs
the US loses hundred of thousands of blue collar jobs every year. these are the jobs that fuel the consumer economy.

that is an important video.
it also conflicts with my apparent support of knock-offs. i dont support poor quality items, i support competition.
i also dont support the fact that people in Canada and the US are losing jobs, but there are many things that can be done by these companies and the governments to keep them competitive. if they dont do them then people should not be buying their products JUST to keep them in business.
if you arent offering value then you shouldnt be selling anything
