All this IMO started with nut and bolt? Around 1966 or 1967. When top three automakers started sourcing out parts form South America. these parts had metric bolts and nuts. Once it was known this could be done with cheap labor and NO tarriffs or penalties it caught on. Once politicians got greased the blue collar worker become extinct. Especially after the NAFTA.
After the current killing off any jobs that left with the new proposed agreement with Asia the only blue collar jobs left will be burgar flippers and waiters, but who cares about blue collar jobs when every level of management could care less and only worried about greasing their pockets.
