• July 2017

最近我们听到许多传言，像美国这样的国家正在将珍贵的制造业工作岗位让给中国、墨西哥和越南这样的国家，因为那里的成本比较低，而贸易保护主义可以防止这一切的发生。然而跨境物流专家奥吉·皮卡多对此并不赞同。他为我们分析了全球贸易现状，以及协同生产和开放的边境如何帮助我们生产物美价廉的产品。

If you're American, call your senators and representatives and let them know your opinion about trade. Currently, NAFTA is being renegotiated. In my talk, I show that automation is responsible for lost US manufacturing jobs, not NAFTA. NAFTA is, however, responsible for the efficient trade between our North American neighbors, enabling shared production processes which helps keep consumer prices down. But whatever your opinion, take the time to make it known to your elected representatives.
