    Capitalism needs adjustment, put US citizens first.
    Globalism and modern monetary theory is not sustainable.
    Corporations are short sighted, extracting wealth from an unrepresented working class.

    Some US citizens are shareholders, and they do come first.

    I can say from personal experience working in a US based major tech manufacturer for five years which split the world into Americas, Europe/Africa and Asia based out of Malaysia that the European, mostly Irish and UK operation, absolutely trounced the Texas operation in productivity and low initial failure of identical manufactured equipment.

    The Irish guys and girls particularly just had their eyes on the horizon and nose in the air much more. Quite honestly I think it was that they had vastly better work life balance and were not as ground down or headless chicken, perpetual bordering burnout and not only socialising with work colleagues/their families at weekends.

    That and it never hurts to have people a little over talented for the job they are doing. In Texas the Peter Principle was fully in force. You will rise to your level of incompetence etc.

    Every quarter the Texas base was embarrassed by the muck savages.

    It was extremely difficult to move between business units due to visas. This was a good thing management said as it European workers moving to Texas were not going to make Texas better but Texas guys moving to the European business units were definitely going to make them worse, the only advantage was occasional visits to improve channels of communication.

    Longer term, it can be beneficial to keep people where they best fit.

    Just so we are keeping score.

    We have the following 'people' commenting on this thread.

    Tuxan = Loser Who Thought Kamala Was Going To Win and a Foreigner
    Pinto = Loser Who Thought Kamala Was Going To Win and a Foreigner
    Ricter = Loser Who Thought Kamala Was Going To Win and a Foreigner
    FredForekin = Loser Who Thought Kamala Was Going To Win and a Foreigner

    These people have been wrong about everything and there is no indication they are going to improve in the future. They are anti-woman, anti-Semitic, and anti-American.
