I was trying to find something that was not made in China when I was buying flowers in a shop the other day; a gesture of condolence for my ex mother-in-law who had just passed away. I was unsuccessful. I was assured however, that the flowers were not from China. Hmmm. Thank you, Tom. Love and peace,
All this slipped by our consciousness during the past twenty years. Chinese manufacturers not only pay young people who come from the provinces less, they also do not have any regulations controlling safety and working conditions. If they have any costly regulations, these are easily changed by greasing the palms of the Communist elite to look the other way.
Why our altruistic captains of industry would do this is simply as you stated, greed. There is very little altruism in large corporations.
Delight in the end of the tunnel is that they are buying from us. For the growing middle class, American goods are prized. For example, Chinese love Buicks (perhaps because Tiger Woods was promoting them) and that is one reason why General Motors retained Buick while it dropped the Pontiac and Oldsmobile lines.
The Chinese are also trying to get back all the artifacts that were taken out of the country in the past. So if you have a Ming Dynasty trinket lying around, some Chinese billionaire wants to make you rich, too. ;-)
and usually if anybody can shovel shit, it is you, but herein you are very right, not to be mistaken with the extreme left...you have said and asked a mouthful & as usual diarrhea of the mouth you have...a bunch of good questions and we all know the answer to them...a resounding YES...e
The grasping greedos who run our corporations buy from China because the Chinese can put out all these gim-cracks in mass quantity and hardly pay the people that make them. That way there is more money for bigwigs and big stockholders..."Pay my employees more? Don't be ridiculous!!!!! I have my Lamborghini and cottage in the Hamptons to pay for. I'd much rather see the money going into MY pockets than into the pockets of all the people who do the work."
South Baltimore serves as the backdrop for this gripping story of three brothers leading very different lives but joined forever by the secrets of a painful family past.
A homonymless man writes shows what it's like to look up the laid he skirts when you’re lying prone(d) to the sidewalk, beer / joint / needle dangling from your hand /lips / arm.
In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.
