That's false. If that was case then they would be making even more money since the keep charging more for the same services. Costs keep rising due to a multitude of things like unions, employee benefits, prices of materials, new taxes/fees, inflation, etc. It's a fact. For example, those $15/hr minium wage knuckleheads don't realize they'll lose a lot of jobs if that's implemented because it would increase the cost for businesses by a considerable amount. Mcdonalds would just become automated and everyone would suffer in some sense because of that. I can't imagine what their sandwhiches would taste like if that happened. haha. People need to learn how to be more pragmatic.
Competition between countries for business. That's never gonna stop and it's a good thing in general.
I already gave a solution. Just reduce costs for businesses to operate and have employees. It will solve itself.

And I already explained to you in detail why that doesn't work.

And maybe you should research things properly before spouting neoliberal nonsense.

Using fast food as an example compared to manufacturing isn't really a good comparison.
People gotta eat. People don't have to drive over priced cars when they can get a cheap chinese made one.
Here in Aus manfuacturing got so expesive that local cars were costing 2to3x more than imports. Their sales declined year on year. 40K+ vs 20K is a big difference and a money saver. Even with subadies from the government they charged so much.
I do agree with you how Ford and GM even tak local money waste it (probably hide it offshore and not spend it locallt) then vanish a few years later should be held accoutable.
