Re: China offers a billion customers, but are they worth the cost of getting to them?
Go read my response to McFly. The one that starts "think hard."
Then you can tell me what will happen to a company that decides "short term profits" can be dispensed with. That decided it's not going to go overseas when five of its competitors are. There are probably a lot of companies that said "thanks, but no thanks." Their windows are boarded up, and their employees are in no better shape than any of the others.
One of the most pervasive delusions of the Left is that people who run businesses are just plain bastards, and they could all make hundred-mile-per-gallon cars and pay someone thirty dollars an hour to paint McDonald's toys or screw a circuit board in if they really wanted to.
