Comments by "Jason Dashney" (@jasondashney) on "3 lies politicians tell about globalization" video.

  1. Normally I like your stuff, but this video does not live up to your normal standards. It talks out of both sides of its mouth, like saying that automation killed the manufacturing and not sending production overseas, but then also talking about how "millions and millions of workers" can earn a wage and get out of poverty overseas. I was very interested in the answers to these questions but I didn't get real data to chew on. This guy gives things much closer to sound bites that don't have any substance. America is the second biggest manufacturing base in the world, but what was it before? Don't ever give me data that's not relative to anything. One data point doesn't help with anything. It also ignores the fact that the United States has a giant population. You can't compare its manufacturing output to Germany on an even basis. Comparing it to Germany is silly if it's not based on population, and it's silly anyways because Germany has done the same thing as America with outsourcing. I don't really have an opinion on globalization and I was hoping this video would help me come to a conclusion but it doesn't at all. I'm sorry but I'm very disappointed in this video. It was sorely lacking in substance. He also talks about things like how worker output is higher in America. Who cares? That literally has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is whether it is good or bad or a mix to have more things produced overseas. It's also absolute complete nonsense to say that there are less jobs overall but that's a global phenomenon. It's complete nonsense because right after it you specifically talk about all kinds of jobs that went overseas. This feels like a rushed video. Next time I'm really hoping you make a video that's more logical and objective because this one is purely rhetoric.
