SOrry, but I don't see that being forced to pay high prioces for cheap
crap is a "win", esp. when the people who used to make decent stuff are
being laid off or forced to scramble for jobs that don't pay a living
wage.
I recognize that not everyone can eb a genius - maybe being a pipe-fitter
*is* what someone can do, and all they can do. I've done volunteer work
with people of limited intellect, who are nevertheless fine people who,
like anyone else, are trying live live their own lives and get by. Not
everyone is capable fo jumping from career to career, and I don't see
that it's a good thing to force those folks onto UI/welfare, while their
jobs are sent to some other country.
I don't have hours and hours to write endless essays about this stuff, so
all i'll say is that I do not agree *one bit* that the current trend is
at all a good one - all that is being done is that the power brokers are
"robbing Peter to pay Paul", and ONLY because by doing so, they can stuff
an extra nickel per dollar into their personal bank accounts.
