Reply #13: You mean the people in your town are "stealing French jobs"? [View All]

If the $3.5T of US direct foreign investment in other countries (like the plant in Mexico from the OP) is giving away American jobs, what possible reason can there be to think the $2.7T of direct foreign investment in the US from other nations isn't them giving away their jobs to Americans for shiftless corporate greed? (in this case French - St Gobain I assume, that was actually a direct grant from the French king and therefore arguably more a national ownership than pretty much any US company).

Makes you wonder what Chinese and Indian companies are doing employing Americans here if the only reason to locate overseas is for cheap labor...
