[QUOTE="klein, post: 711651, member: 23950"] Well, North America has something the Chinese don't have. It's agriculture and a lot of food, also tons of raw material, commodaties. We can't expect the Chinese to have a 1000% inflation rate, to get to our wages and prices overnight. It will all take a lot of time, before they even get close to that. I do feel sorry for thier workers there. I still chat with a bc member named "darkangel" from the Phillipines. She works for UPS over there. Has zero sick days, and only earns $300 per month. No company pension either, and helathcare bennies, like most countries are paid for by the government. People like that, have no means to ever travel anywhere. How can you, when a week hotel stay will cost you 2 months of work. Nevermind the flight or food costs associated with it. She basically works there so UPS Europe and North America can get paid higher wages, to the cost of them. But, she doesn't complain, because even there, UPS pays a good salary compared to other companies. Just remember, once they do get at par with us, wage wise, (which will probably take another 50 years or more), everything else will go up here, too. As in prices and Inflation. Like I said previously, we are actually benefiting from thier cheap, slavery, labor. If we changed that overnight, we wouldn't be living in the luxery we do now. [/QUOTE]
