[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 946324, member: 23516"] Wanna guess what happens when you don't have enough of either? I don't know about you, but I wouldn't pay the lawn company to come mow my lawn in the winter when the grass isn't growing. I doubt you would, either. I wouldn't pay for 2 babysitters when I only needed 1, and neither would you. What's the big deal with China? Do we scream bloody murder when a guy in California or Oregon moves his factory to Podunk, MS or Sleepytown, AL? Nah. Why not? The guy who lost his job is still just as unemployed as he'd be if the factory moved to China. It's exploitation? Alright... We've got a factory full of 'exploited' Chinese workers, and we want to put a stop to the exploitation, so we close down the factory. They were working 70 hours/week for $150. Now they --the ones that managed to find work-- are working 70 hours/week in the fields for $100. I don't think we'd get any thank-you notes. The best think to happen to the Chinese worker is the alleged 'exploitation' that's going on there these days because working conditions are steadily improving, as are wages, although at a faster rate.
