Why America's Economy Fell off The Cliff
SO TRUE!!!!!!
John Doe started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG), He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA ), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE), and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA), he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO), to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN), to the radio (MADE IN INDIA), he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY), filled it with GAS (from SAUDIA ARABIA), and continued his search for a good paying AMERICAN JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his computer (made in MALAYSIA), John decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL), poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE), and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in AMERICA. AND NOW HE'S HOPING HE CAN GET HELP FROM A PRESIDENT (MADE IN KENYA). HELLO, ANYONE HOME IN THERE . . . . . . . WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!! Don't know if this should be here or war room???? Mods move it where you want if not the right thread

Well, people anywhere but here wouldn't have half that shit. Reason he can't/won't "find" a job is he won't accept anything less than what he considers decent pay. America was founded on cheap labor and now there is no such thing. Buying sneakers that cost $200 just so an American can make $30 lacing them up is lame. Kids from overseas whip our kids asses in school as well.
Wake up America ! You need your ass kicked into gear !! |

that's the dumbest thing I ever read
My alarm clock is made in China,my coffeepot made in Italy I don't wear designer Jeans...cupcake. Don't wear a watch Fucking Calculator? They're goddamn sneakers not fucking tennis shoes. New electric skillet? I'm sorry I have fully functioning kitchen and barbecue. I don't need an "electric skillet. My radio is part of my alarm clock, I haven't had a dedicated "radio" in years. My jap car was made in America My gas was most likely made in America using crude ship from America. The rest of it is just isolationist, protectionist xenophobic entitlement driven bullshit probably written by some overpaid union worker who likes to divide everything in to "us' (meaning the other guys in the union) and "them" (everybody else) finished off with a ignorant racist bullshit. |

In a way I agree with this sentiment!
The problem with a lot of the complaining about products being made overseas is one simple question. Are you willing to go to work for $3 an hour? Maybe we should bring slavery or child labor back. That's how we used to compete... It never ceases to amaze me when people (no one specific) are sitting at the desk of their $40-60,000 job complaining because "Americans" won't take the same pay as people in Sri Lanka or wherever. Let's suppose that we wanted to start competing with China, are you willing to pay 4-10 times as much for stuff as you do now? In many cases, more expensive American versions of products are available, why don't you buy them? No offense but the OP typed this thread on a computer, most likely made overseas. Sitting at a desk, most likely made overseas. A desk cluttered with items most of which were made overseas... |

Every job sent out of country, one less American able to buy products.
Someday Americans will get clue, you need people with jobs to buy your products. |
