I wonder if the Chinese will ever get sick and tired of being our slaves? Working for 2 bucks a day and a bowl of rice. When do they get pay back? Or is it that there are so many freaking people in China, they can just go out in the back woods and get more slaves to work in the factories.
Or maybe as the Chinese start to want to buy shit it will create a domestic market for their crap and the prices will increase.
My personal belief is that North Americans did it to ourselves. We all want cheap crap and huge bottom lines so that our share values go up. So they ship the manufacturing to China. Ironically, the union guys are the guys going to Walmart and buying the cheap shit figuring that they will never be affected but surprise, they are.
So they end up working at Walmart.
Only instead of generating wealth like they did when they worked in the Steel Mill for $20.00 an hour, now they're working at Walmart for $8.00 an hour and they're just moving shit around.
We used to build things in North America. Some of the best things in the world. Now we just buy crap that was made somewhere else.
