Re: Made in America
[quote=JackS;1347529]I'm going to stop you right here. This statement shows a remarkable lack of understanding about the basic principles of economics, specifically regarding international trade. Trading with other countries HAS NO EFFECT on the number of jobs in the US economy.
As an engineer that has changed companies at least four times when the business went overseas, yes, economics decides how many jobs a country has, but technology decides which countries have engineering jobs. I'm a fan of being an engineer and of doing it in US too. And I want kids in the US to be able to be engineers if they want.
But that being said, FIRST is about ENGINEERING and STEM in general and engineering and stem is about the future success of humans altogether regardless of country.
Without teaching people to be innovators, the human race will be at risk.
my two cents.
