Doesn't mean it's wrong, though. I found the part enlightening about America not being able to compete with China in manufacturing (if they wanted to) because health care, housing, education is so expensive in the US. Of course everything is more expensive in America than in China, that's crystal clear. However and nonetheless there's a reason why Germany still has a lot of industry and the US has not and the point that the US just puts its money where it generates the most money (not where it necessarily strenghens the local economy) resonates. It's really a shame how little the US politics influenced the economy in the right ways in the last 20-30 years. I'm talking infrastructure, affordable health care, minimum wages, TAXES etc.
