why blame the players rather than the game? It's the government's job to prioritize long term health of the nation

Plenty of people warned about the hazards of allowing these companies to outsource everything, government did nothing. Mostly because they are bought off by lobbyists. This could have pretty easily been prevented by putting tariffs on key industries to keep manufacturing here or at least in North America

  > tariffs on key industries to keep manufacturing here or at least in North America
would businesses be ok with that? it seems alot of expensive investing at home when it could be done cheaper overseas...

im pretty sure massive lobbying would incur... but maybe im not seeing the whole picture.
