How true. While not a M. Moore fan, I did recently catch his old film "The Big One" he made in the 1990's in support of the book "Downsize This!" For each target Moore researched the incredible $$ each company made (Billions) and then simply to enrich the shareholders closed up shop and moved the plants over seas.
The part of the film about the Nike CEO and the tennis shoes and the people of Flint was a prime example of exactly what is wrong at the top of many US corporations today.
The Nike CEO was 100% convinced that Americans did not and could not even make tennis shoes.

Phil, if we keep on the road we are on, as a country this will be true. Right now most of the doctors and engineers we are turning out are foreign. Even though my kids have three times the homework that I did, they, at the ages of 7 and 9 know way less in Science than I did at that age. This is at a private school (I went to a public school).
I don't know the answers, but it has taken decades to drag America down as far as we have come, I fear it will take decades to make up for the lost time, if we even can.
