So somebody here tell me, 'cause I'm stupid - what's the difference between buying a pair of socks made in China and buying a box of sticks made in Cuba?


Paradox? I'm easily confused.

Quite frankly, I feel sorry for the folks that lost their jobs, but I have a hard time believing that blue collar America is where you will find the beef. In our society where we have grown accustomed to competing with the guy next door over everything, we have become an unholy consumer of goods. The overconsumption of goods means we need more income. When we all fight for more income, eventually none of us can afford to compete for our own goods, so we have to buy them cheaper in an effort to stay competitive.

For example, I can't believe the number of yard care tools I have had to buy since last summer when I bought my first home. It is downright obnoxious how many things I need to buy for $30 a pop that I will use once or twice a year. And you know what, all of my neighbors have the same junk that they only use sometimes as well. We have amassed lots of tools that we sparingly use, which is a waste of our resources. It would make more sense to have a community locker where we all invest and buy tools, and we can check things out.

If we weren't all so blindingly stupid about how much we own in our society, we could afford to buy our own goods.

As businesses leave one state to go to another due to state corporate tax structure so to do they leave for another country where they have a more favorable climate for business.

BTW The sources are easy enough to Google should you so desire.

From here forth, I take complete responsibility for the sucking economy.
That should end all further discussion.
Add to that, I'd like to go to Puerto Rico. I'm just afraid to. I don't think it's as nice as the commercials say.
