Watch our snivelling Political Class do a 180% turn on sending jobs overseas. For 30 years they have been screwing us with the Globalisation crap. With Trump reversing the practise watch the whores follow him.

Make it in America
Liveris is the author of Make It in America: The Case for Re-Inventing The Economy, a book released in January 2011, based on Dow's vision for an 'Advanced Manufacturing Plan' announced in June 2010.[43][44] It is divided into eight chapters and is 240 pages long.[45] The book,[46] published by John Wiley & Sons, was named No. 9 on the Inc./800-CEO-READ best-seller list for 2011.[47]
His first book, updated in paperback in January 2012, received wide publicity in the business world.[48][49] The Financial Times called it a "widely praised polemic".[50] According to the Wall Street Journal, in the book Liveris "calls for a national strategy to revive manufacturing", while proposing several reform ideas.[48]
The book argues that when US-based firms move their high-tech manufacturing processes overseas, the country loses skills needed for "whole groups of products", citing the Amazon Kindle as an example. Industries born in the US, such as highly advanced computer circuitry, are for this reason now existent only outside the country. Liveris, among other proposals to stimulate the industry, seeks an overhaul of the K-12 education system to include a greater focus on the sciences; and thinks the government should sign more free-trade agreements and implement a national strategy to encourage more manufacturing, a strategy including cutting taxes and making regulations more uniform in order to compete with other continents.[48] Manufacturing, he posits, "can create jobs, economic health and growth at a level such that the services industry will never be able to do".[51]
Talking about the current state of manufacturing in an address at the University of Technology Sydney in 2016, Liveris stated "advanced manufacturing is all about short-cycle innovation, smart scale hi-tech." Commenting on Dow's incorporation of robots into its production cycle, he went on to disclose Dow now performs two million experiments a year with robots, up from 20000. Similarly, he declared Dow launched 5000 new products the previous year, while ten years back they would have launched "less than 500", alluding to technological advancements.[52]
Additionally, Liveris argued in favour of "a more inclusive capitalism" in a Times op-ed published in December 2016. In it, he argued that while free trade has lifted millions of people out of poverty since the Second World War, "not everyone has shared in this progress". He continued that fair trade policies must benefit everyone, and global businesses (such as Dow) have a role to play in addressing this challenge.

How will this benefit Australia?
Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'
And your point stupid? Wages to the moon or something dumb like that?
Are you saying I'm wrong when I said wages went backwards over decades?
Wages today are where they were in 1972-3.
Yes you are completely wrong. Wages are rising in real terms and have been doing so as a trend for the last 20 years.
You're right to be embarrassed at your blunder. Anyone with a working eyeball can see the trend only needs t continue for a very short time and wages will be at an all time high.

No wonder you invest in residential property!
WHAT WOULD EDDIE DO? MAAAATE! Share a cot with Milton?
I recall an anecdote when Obama made some weak sauce appeal for more jobs in America and Steve Jobs leaned into his face and said, "Those jobs aren't coming back!". I'd like to see the Jobs equivalent try that with Trump. Obama was a piece of wet cardboard.

Do you consider iPhones to be an example of high-tech manufacturing?
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
