Do you now, or have you ever worked in manufacturing? I have, almost my entire life. Save for my time in the Navy. And, I come from a family of factory workers, management, engineering and blue collar.
From what I've seen, incompetent management kills a factory quicker than any politician could dream of. Even the high tech, world class type of factory. Put a dumbass in the plant managers office and kiss it goodbye. Jimmy Hoffa couldn't kill productivity with such lightning speed. And it usually starts with "cost cutting", yessiree..........
And there is a universe of "other people" to be blamed when it happens.

Not that much in Silicon Valley where I was deep into MANY companies and their manufacturing lines. Usually died from the idea or concept being bad or not enough support from engineering.
Management incompetence WOULD BE tho -- a better excuse than blaming the "free-traders". And in that case, perhaps we deserve to lose because our "moron" filters are not working right.
