Well he ate all his crayons

In 2001.

"Today the House of Representatives has taken an historic step toward continued prosperity in America, reform in China, and peace in the world. . . it will open new doors of trade for America and new hope for change in China." Bill Clinton, U.S. President

Too many Americans have discovered it is easier to latch onto the government teat than to work.

When we pay $15 an hour and they pay $1 per day....

Seriously, go to city hall and deal with the tick turds that work there, any of them, start wading through their paperwork, requirements, waiting on p and z, etc. Get the state and feds involved in it and your problems just went up x100. Then after you have spent piles of money to create jobs in a community they backtrack and f with you forever with stupidity. By the way none want these jobs you created cause they would prefer to sit on their arse. And dont forget the lawyers, they are gonna come after you sooner or later for their pound of flesh. Why the hell anyone would choose to do business here that otherwise doesnt have to is beyond me. Unfortunately I am stuck here as the fries would get cold on the ship.......

Because Japan decided to get into technology.

Because Americans won't work for pennies like little Ling Ling does

This has allowed China to use the money they get from our purchase of their products to loan the US govt over a trillion dollars. Our govt is in a catastrophic condition as we hold the largest debt on the face of this planet. Check out the real time debt clock on the web.

Cheap labor, thanks to the Communist/Socialist government. This could be considered a from of slavery. It certainly would be if we tried to operate businesses like that here in the US. Well, at least until the "Democratic Socialists" succeed in actually implementing Socialism here.

But, China is cool because it isn't the US. And they already have the form of government the US politicians are pushing for, so that makes them cool, too.

The Ruling Elite are in charge and that's cool.
The People shut up and do what they're told. That's cool.
The People are "happy" to have a job that supports the Ruling Elite, because the Ruling Elite knows what's best for the People. That's cool.
The People have no voice and the Ruling Elite like it that way. That's cool.
So many reasons the US should be just like China.

NOT!

And why is our government a mess? Because stupid, lazy people have managed to out breed smart, productive people at a rate of 3 to 1. Then the genius politicians figured out they could create jobs for themselves and there bureaucrat buddies by convincing all the stupid lazy people they are being exploited by the smart productive people and the only way to cure this injustice is to regulate and tax the [censored] outa the smart people and give the proceeds to the lazy ones. So what happens is the smart ones pick up their toys and take them somewhere else...... I think that about sums it up.

perfect

I know, I keep waiting for one of our resident stupid lazy people to argue with me. I'm sure they will muster up their courage when they wake up from their nap.

Because their little fingers are good at getting those tiny screws tight using micro-screw drivers. I can’t do it without squinting, they already have a head start there as well.

Hard to beat cheap Chinese labor:
