The link above is yet another comparison to China as far as money is concerned. If this article is true then we are at a turning point in time where manufacturing goods in the U.S. in now less expensive than having China do it for us. Also, if this is true then come five to ten years from now I'm not going to have anything to complain about, lol...
In all seriousness I never could understand how something could be made on foriegn land, packaged and handled and delivered for shipping. Then put on a ship that required no telling how many gallons of fuel to arrive here in the U.S., THEN, someone had to unload the goods, deliver the goods to the respective retailers, unpackage it and put it on the shelf. How has this been less expensive than hiring Bob White Quail down the street who drives 10 miles to work one way? I sure don't know but I guess it was or the company man wouldn't have sold out to the foriegners to do the work.
