Has a lot of old school hot rodding been lost?

Hey EVERONE we all have to wake up they are going overseas because WE just don't make any money over here. Especially the working people. Mechanics, Truck drivers, retail, waitresses, general labor etc. Prices have doubled and tripled, so than should wages. They are trying to run us dry. So any ideas out there? Help is needed out here. signed Just a poor old guy. ps I'm not picking on anyone.
