Which is one of the reasons business likes doing business there. A company can make a lot of profit manufacturing there because they don’t have to waste money on things like worker safety, environmental standards or decent wages.

That is going to be changing. China is realizing there was a reason for all those standards in America. Their issues with pollution and factories blowing clear off the face of the planet is going to force it. People are not going to stand for it. Other countries will follow too. People want to live decently so they loved the jobs when they got them, even at low rates. Then they get some economy going and they want more and a better life. It’s natural.

I think there will be a way to do business equilibrium that goes across the world where manufacturing, etc. all become similar and it will be just as costly to manufacture there as it is here.

I have always thought economies strengthening and global trade and commercialism would be an end to wars and to some degree outrageous governments.
