Yes, blue collar workers are usually conservative. This isn't news.

foreign government subsidies undercutting local production and tarrifs are the wat to level the field.

Also, lack of labor, safety, and environmental regulations. Chinese companies literally own slaves, no worker can't compete with free. Combine that with safety and environmental, you get cheap manufacturing.

Are you sure about that? Or are they trying to break them in different ways?

Yes, because the middle east never happened.

It's a cover for the class issue. Just a slapdash of paint to keep the workers from getting along.

The issue isn't one of race. It's of defeating unions by importing cheap abusable labor. The propoganda here is making it out to be racist, when it's a class issue.

Well that bit is more about importing cheap abusable labor, and making talking about it into something that's perceived to be racist

I mean, I didn't read the article, but anyone can go look at the demographics over time and see that white people are having less babies, and becoming less of a majority every census. It's not a theory, it's statistical fact.

I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is that the schools don't want to pay a good wage
