So you feel the US is still in that intermediate sweatshop stage and that will go away if they could just get the capital to modernize?

    Some areas - yes. Developing a local economy is tricky, for places that don't have historic concentration of logistics, there has to be a some attractive force to offset geographic conditions, and attract capital and employers to an area.

    I'm all for providing alternative jobs to communities, a national Job corps, increasing military pay, or providing labor laws saying that rotating shift jobs are not allowed. Those are all fine. Giving people better options is the solution.
