If you move your business back to the U.S. then labor costs spike and you can't compete price wise.

Whose fault is that that a few bucks is big money in the 3rd world and why are we competing with the 3rd world standard when obviously it lowers our own?

Because, like I said, if you move your business back to the U.S. then labor costs spike and you can't compete price wise. So you go out of business because you have to sell your products at a loss.

Sometimes you can make that work but not all the time. The difference between 20 dollars an hour here versus 3 dollars an hour in China is enormous. You also have to factor in that Chinese workers are happy to get a job, will show up on time, and work efficiently. Too many American workers are liberal dems who count on the federal government to take money from other Americans (or just borrow it) to give to them.
Besides, the great majority of American jobs are non-union.

Wonder what those conservative repubs are doing when they wake up with no job tomorrow? You mean those repubs won't file for unemployment and food stamps and subsidized heating bills?

Average hourly pay in the United States is about 23 dollars per hour.

I'm sure they will. What's your point?

Repubs aren't the only ones that deserve help from their local state and federal government and ideology and party and church affiliations are meaningless in a crisis event. That's my point! Easy to holler and espouse when things are smooth and normal, but this ain't that time.

That's where we differ. I'm not convinced anyone "deserves" someone else's money.

for them it's easy money . They write the laws ;and one of the laws on the books for years is their exemption to insider trader laws . Michael Milken ,went to jail for much less ..... so did Martha Stewart .
This is why they don't want to go after quid pro Joe . They'd all become vulnerable .

I don't think it takes a rocket scientist or an inside trader to see the market crashing, and everybody has a financial advisor who get paid the big bucks, but let's keep it real, if rich folks is bailing guess who gets left holding the bag. We have discussed those junk bonds before which may be the other leg of the stool to fall.
When the fed is lowering interests though, and infusing cash to regional banks, yeah I would say something bad was coming down the pike. How far things fall, and for how long becomes the question.

You mean stealing as in taking money by force from one person and just giving it to another? Is that the stealing you're referring to?
