$30,000 a year for a manufacturing job in America? Someone hasn't worked in a warehouse before have they?

So since we buy those products that means we should be ok with human torture? Since 90% of things are built in those factories it's pretty impossible not to own something made there. You can still have a voice in how you want a product made without having to threaten a company by with holding your money.

I've seen that before during a rain storm here in Illinois. A second or two after a lightning strike you could see that huge blue ball encompass the sky. It would of scared the crap out of me more if I wasn't already scared shitless due to the rain making it impossible to see the road (and also a major highway not…

10 hours a day = 36 hours straight? Are you really comparing those two as if they are almost the same? Also most people who live in NYC have either a living room and kitchen or live in a moderate sized loft. Not some 10x10 cube. Even college dorms are more spacious then these dilapidated holes. Also does your boss…

$300 a month for enslavement isn't worth it. Your acting like it's just poor wages that's the problem with these jobs. It's also unhealthy work conditions be it working 36 hours straight or sucking in toxic fumes that can cause brain damage or cancer. Also poor housing units. 4+ people to a small cramped room, and…

Really? Like looking at Google Maps wouldn't give almost the exact same results? Really?

I hope to get early in the line. I have a pair of brass knuckles to try out.

That is why I suggest finding a spot with minimal drug killings....which I am sure is still a lot.

Oh, I agree. I don't think either side would win if China cashed in on it's holdings of our debt. It's just a tool they use to persuade the laws to favor them. I think it would be a long shot we would just give up our country to China over some financial pressures.

Maybe they like to be in the submissive role?

Slaves believed they were coming over as indentured servants for a few years. They were to work to pay off the cost of there travel and land they were to be given at the end of the contract. None of that was true.

No, retire in Mexico. If you want a job move to China. Your money might go a little farther in China if you retired there but all the restrictions would sure be a turn off. Isn't all their porn censored or is that just Japan?

When you consider that is over a trillion dollars it comes out to be.

It's hard to really define it as voluntary when you really have no choice. When there are 1 billion people in your country and your biggest industry in your country is manufacturing what are you going to do? Only so many people can farm the paddies. Also just cause they "chose" to work there doesn't give anyone the…

That is a reason a good chunk of people are retiring down in Mexico (or working here and then sending most of there check to Mexico). For $50,000 you can get a nice house and live off your pension/401k/kids much easier then you could in America. Medicine is cheaper down there as well. Just make sure to move somewhere…

So when Poppa Newt tells college students that they need to work to pay off there tuition he is really telling them that we need to go to China during summer break?

That wasn't a shortage that was the Apple trying to stifle the third party market. Since most of the people at the front of the line were hired to buy up product for the official third party stores, Apple decided not to open there flagship store. If they didn't horde all the phones to themselves they wouldn't of had…

Don't worry. They own a good amount of our debt so I think China (the government/industry) will be ok.

After being appraised (which no one said how long that process is). At $500 I would have to spend less then $20 a day which is doable but that means I have to live a bare mininum life in order to save up anything which is one of the main reasons people work there. Also is $500 a month worth being over worked, mentally…

Errr delete me posted in the wrong spot.
