Yeah, sure.
But why can they sell for that price? Because enough people had it to spend and wanted it.
Why did they have it to spend? Because they *made* enough money. Wages. Higher wages.
Since these companies send the work overseas, fewer people here have that much money.
The owners of America are basically encouraging wage arbitrage because they can pick up a good number more dollars doing it.
But don't forget, markets work. As we ship more of the jobs overseas, the average wage here will fall. ( is this not what we are seeing? )
( we will ignore the pain of those who are losing their jobs, unimportant )
The ability to spend will fall.
Demand will fall. People will lose jobs due to layoffs, average wages fall some more,
Places that used to do things here will ( to the extent possible ) decline in doing so.
Wages will, in the longer term, adjust out to some kind of average.
Prices here will have to fall in line with the wages. Again, in the longer term.
Greed will cause the prices to be sticky for some period of time.
And lower cost places will be chased when/if the wages in a particular place overseas begin to climb.
Yes, factory build costs will make that sticky, but in the longer term, it will happen. ( and are we not seeing it? )
Think we will be allowed to sell stuff ( free market, man ) in those overseas places when wages have averaged out? ( arent there already restrictions? )
I don't think so. If you do, I'd like to know why you think that.
So, yeah, it is "working" for them, by giving the shaft to the customers they sell to.
Strikes me as stupid.
