It never ceases to amaze me when people (no one specific) are sitting at the desk of their $40-60,000 job complaining because "Americans" won't take the same pay as people in Sri Lanka or wherever. Let's suppose that we wanted to start competing with China, are you willing to pay 4-10 times as much for stuff as you do now? In many cases, more expensive American versions of products are available, why don't you buy them? No offense but the OP typed this thread on a computer, most likely made overseas. Sitting at a desk, most likely made overseas. A desk cluttered with items most of which were made overseas...  |
Exactly. There is a book out called
Cheap. It goes into detail the reason our economy is in the shiiter. It also talks about the Walmart Effect. There is a movie called Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price. You should check out both of those.
