What's wrong with the World/US pondering...

. .or maybe too much Bailey's Irish cream in my coffee this morning!?!

Today's China is a disposable society. What I mean is the things they manufacture today are all designed to break within 2-4 years. When they break down, you simply buy a new item. Who fixes TVs any longer? You buy a new one when the old one breaks.

All this is designed to keep the bazillion Chinese employed. After all, you can't loot and pillage when you are working unlike here in the U.S.

Chinese have figured out if they keep the plants running 24/7 all have a purpose and some sort of living wage.

Greed, materialism, selfishness, laziness and a Godless society have put us where we are today as a country.

I remember the old Walmart commercials where Sam Walton would proudly proclaim most of the products in his store were American made.

Everyone in America want to buy items manufactured with slave labor because it’s cheaper. However nobody wants to be the slave labor. Seems to be the issue we have. We think everything should be cheap....except for our labor.
