The kicker is, thanks to CPTPP (both Canada & Mexico are members), neither Canada nor Mexico will actually suffer all that much because it'll reduce prices on Japanese cars, and with CETA in play, Canada will also see lower prices on European cars. That'll have a knock-on effect on US automakers and the US economy. Killing NAFTA is a very bad idea.

@moderndilettante68964 жыл бұрын
thats a really good rate of inflation, in economics you aim at having 3-4% of inflation at all times. 25x3.8 should make sense. The reason why you want inflation is to increase output of the economy, to try and break down my whole semester of macro economy of why inflation is good let me explain. Inflation essentially means that workers are producing more and more each year, if 1 worker produces more than 1 unit the difference is inflation. Your employer will probably give you raises as productive you are so 2-4% increase should be guaranteed. if the inflation were to be kept at 0% you employer would have to cut your pay by 2% to maintain their margin and cutting wages has more of a psychological toll on workers than raises so they might become less productive or be afraid of the future of the economy. On the consumer side lower inflation is great but on the producer side it isnt and since the producing side determines wages and outflows it would essentially be detrimental. Technically in a perfect system there still can be growth at 0 inflation but society is not remotely perfect so inflation is the phenomenon we have to deal with. Deflation is just as bad as Stagflation

When businesses don't compete, the markets are no longer dictating the price... that's why rent in NYC and LA are so high. Instead of competing, they've banded together. Greed is prevalent now more than ever. The rich are paying to set laws that benefit the rich.

The one problem with NAFTA was that it killed a lot of manufacturing jobs in the US. Some industries like the car industry weren't affected as much due to the complexity and resources needed to create such an item. Other industries weren't as fortunate. In my home town we lost the Mead plant ( which made folders and trapper keepers for kids Lost to Mexico), Stetson hat plant ( one of only two plants that was in the US. Now there is only one plant in Mexico.), jean plant (forgot the brand. Lost to Mexico), and about three other production plants to Mexico. When people complain about NAFTA; this is what they meant; losing tons of production jobs to Mexico while small blue collar towns are left with nothing. I know that eventually mechanization would of put some of the people out of work; yet others would of been trained on how to operate said machinery and be able to keep their jobs. Yet the US lost tons of blue collar jobs right after NAFTA and started the mass killing of the middle class.

Very informative! Thank you for this. I do agree that by the time that NAFTA was in full effect, automation was just starting to ramp up. So this provided manufacturers with a double prize: lower production costs and fewer workers to pay when automation was able to fill that labor. I think it was just an unfortunate coincidence that ultimately caused nafta to be blamed for these economic issues. In reality, a new deal would disrupt the flow we have now, make prices higher due to tariffs, deter foreign trade due to higher production costs and, to top it off, would not stop automation from playing huge role in the means of production.

I appreciate the clarification on the benefits of NAFTA for North American car manufacturing. What I would like is a breakdown of the economic, environmental and social costs/benefits of free trade for other industries - agriculture, apparel manufacturing, tech, etc. If Vox could do a series of explainers compiling research on the effects of free trade in distinct industries, for distinct groups of people (Mexican farmers, Jamaican clothes factory workers, U.S. middle class consumers, etc.), that would be great.

What the other guys said. It's really easy to make general statements but you should probably pay attention to the underlying point Esteban. Automation like electric streetlights might take jobs away from gas lighters but it gives jobs to electricians. What would you rather have, a low paying unskilled gas light job or a high paying skill trade like electricians? Of course "robots" take jobs. But not as much as people will have you believe and it's not all bad because it opens up new fields

I wanted to see Mexico become a bustling technologically advanced economy with a thriving middle and upper class and an up-and-coming lower class who could buy things from us. Then I read the details and was thoroughly against it. Mexico has a poverty rate of 46%! Many of the workers building those cars in Mexico cannot afford to buy them! NAFTA is nothing more than exploitation!

So a US made car is $1200 dollars more? That would be around three or four more payments a month depending on the payment size. I think that is ok by me as that would give jobs to Americans who would pay taxes and NOT become unemployed and begin to draw from unemployment or somethng else. What is wrong with keeping Americans working? Those who are all into paying higher taxes for government benefits or government sponsored benefits like universal healthcare and the like should be ok with this as well. Willing to pay more for the greater good. That works the same here.

NAFTA and TPP are used to ship high and mid wage american jobs over seas , where corporations can pay their over seas employees less, While Americans are left with low wage jobs that can barely pay the bills. The average american only makes 15,000 to 40,000 a year - down 20 to 50% from 1980's ( depending on where you live ).

And to complicate it, they mentioned the back up cameras, air curtains, etc. so you're comparing two different levels of vehicles that happen to have the same name. And the market is different, how many car companies are there today selling cars? Gasoline, hybrid, electric? If consumers did the math, electric cars aren't worth the money, hybrids are better, etc. Then again in California, with gas about twice as high as anywhere else, it's different math; buy nobody asks why it's so high...

You're right, NAFTA is not to blame for most of the loss in jobs. Most of the outsourcing has gone to China. Automation has definitely played a big part as well, but it's undeniable that many of our manufacturing jobs have been lost because companies move factories to China for cheap labor. Basically everything is made in China these days: medicine, toys, electronics, clothes, you name it. I am not concerned by the potential rise in prices of products if the jobs move back to America. Less outsourcing will increase wages, which will offset the increase in price levels.
@swaggy39875 жыл бұрын
We’re going in the opposite direction as a country when we try to get back jobs for people for things that can and should be automated The solution is not to remove automation.

@Kenneth Holler im just stating why manufacturers have moved from the US. How much do you really think we are saving the planet when China is polluting at the rate they are? Not to mention other countries. So wouldn't it he smarted to somehow make it more affordable for manufacturers to meet requirements rather than just go pollute in china and help China's economy? The pollution is not going to stay confined to other countries. Not to mention imports have led to the death of most of the ash trees in the midwest. We need to find a balance to be environmentally conscious yet profitable for manufacturers to keep jobs and revenue in the US
@alexanderchristopher62374 жыл бұрын
mike taylor yeah, but those measures costs money to the manufacturers. I mean, if treating industrial wastes costs them $1000 per day, then laws that told manufacturers to do that would cost them $1000 per day at the benefit of the environment not being polluted. Getting rid of that law means that the companies can save $1000 per day at the expense of the environment, because they don’t have an incentive to preserve the environment. And you haven’t even considered wages or the labor unions yet. Those things, in my opinion, killed manufacturing even more than the EPA.

Interesting article. As I’ve stated in many automobile writers KZfaq Channels - what galls me as a consumer is significantly increased automotive purchase pricing, while at the same time an inverse effect on product quality. I’d gladly pay Ford or GM full MSRP on a new 2020 Diesel HD Truck, if that unit came with a ten year bumper to bumper warranty. In other words you can’t complain about job losses due to rising labour costs, while year-over-year inflating your sale price, and cutting quality.
