Not entirely true, nor entirely false haha. I know USA still does manufacturing but if you looked globally, even China is starting to get out capitalismed. Myanmar is where the cheap labour is at now, though if we go further you'll just see child labour there. Welcome to late stage capitalism.

As for Labour, I believe Mexicans are your equavilents of cheap Labour. I believe in paying good honest money for good honest work, so I do it personally with my construction friends and share the profits equally after sales comms. A very rare thing where I'm from.

different places have different requirements. Your take out meals there generally fall within 10$ I believe while ours here is at 3$. At the end of the day I can't comment too much but USA ain't the friendliest place to start a business with all the overheads and taxes.
