Classe move to China

Illiteracy is a point well taken by the automotive industry. Workers here needed color coded manuals to aid in following directions as opposed to the Canadians who didn't. What won out were the guarantees made by our politicians of giant tax breaks and promises to keep the unions out.

Oh, those bad, bad unions who are nothing more than the lobbyist for the workers to help compete against the lobbyists of the corporate masters. Funny how one is lionized and the other disparaged. Those of the upper strata are heavily socialized to the point of absurdity but damn if they'll allow that kind of cooperation for the workers.

Damn commies!

Read Karl Marx, and as some smart guy once said, People always get the type of Government they deserve.

Its kind of sad to be of an age where I've personally witnessed the decline and now, downward spiral, of our economy. It needn't be this way: other courses were and are readily available. Its a failure of will on the part of the electorate to fully participate (by simply paying attention and voting) and the rise of sociopaths in positions of power in industry with the means to buy off politicians. It happens to every great and small country at every stage of our existence. Take any form of government, be it a dictatorship, a monarchy, a democracy and pull away the facade and you'll find oligarchs. Oligarchs are nothing more than people who've amassed great fortunes and are willing to use some degree of coercive violence to keep it. That violence can manifest itself from retinues of personal mercenaries and standing armies to something as ubiquitous as a tax code.

There's lots of window dressing that we all fall for.

As with many countries, both good and bad products come from China.
