The New York Times Thinks Americans Don’t Work Night Shifts

Another frustration with manufacturing in Texas: American workers won’t work around the clock. Chinese factories have shifts working at all hours, if necessary, and workers are sometimes even roused from their sleep to meet production goals. That was not an option in Texas.

Twenty-nine agents went to arrest 66-year-old Roger Stone, a longtime Trump-supporter. The agents went in full battle dress in the early morning hours, as if mounting an attack on an enemy position during a full-blown war.

Stone stands accused of lying to the FBI. He poses no threat of resistance. At his age and given his peaceful, good-citizen background, there was no reason to expect trouble arresting him. Yet 29 agents showed up, armed to the teeth, as if Stone were Pablo Escobar, ready to fight to the death.

We had hoped FBI insanity would lessen with Trump in the White House. This re-enactment of Elián González, of overkill on steroids replete with tip-offs to CNN so the network was there with cameras, shows that nothing has changed at the FBI of Christopher Wray from the days of James Comey. The place was an out-of-control rogue then; it's an out-of-control rogue now.

The findings are a direct contradiction of two top tenets of President Trump’s foreign policy.

There's a difference.

“China is not just cheap. It’s a place where, because it’s an authoritarian government, you can marshal 100,000 people to work all night for you,” said Susan Helper, an economics professor at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and the former chief economist at the Commerce Department. “That has become an essential part of the product-rollout strategy.”

Tor is right. You are not.

Get a grip.

How is drawing attention to the protection US workers enjoy through laws prohibiting workplace exploitation in any way "insulting" to the USA or its workforce?

Most people know that is not tolerated here.

They are telling us we can't keep up with China. That is an insult.

You must be awfully thin-skinned if you take that as an insult.
