The people weren't offered a choice, "you can have inexpensive goods and go on unemployment, OR you an keep your jobs but with a 10% markup on electronics" (btw there was massive collusion by Samsung and Sony with subsequent settlement for price fixing in flat-panel TVs).

Moving jobs overseas is evading the "free market" by literally moving the labor market somewhere else. The corporation captures the benefit, the old workers are unemployed, the new workers do not benefit from the social benefits of the nation to which the corporation pays it taxes, and the shareholders get an extra $1.00EPS on their dividend sheet (that they pay very litle tax on because their rates are lower than wage tax). It's an all-around scam.

In my view, people were offered a very clear choice: Made in China or made in the USA, and they very consistently and unambiguously made their choice at every given opportunity with their wallets.

Probably not the same people, mind you. People are inherently selfish. It's likely that those whose livelihoods depend on manufacturing realize the importance of buying domestic. But for everyone else, it's all about the wallet. Your sentence could be rephrased as: "I can have my inexpensive goods with a 10% markdown. You can go on unemployment."

If people were not so selfish in their spending habits the more socially conscientious corporations would be the dominant ones, but clearly that is not the case today.
