- ivankirigin 19y agoThe same people that worry about trade from china tend to claim that it is cheap and worthless. Think for a moment about that, and you'll realize neither make sense. People want it, so it isn't worthless. They make it with a competitive advantage. I'd prefer to live in a country whose competitive advantage was in designing products, not manufacturing them. It's obviously higher value.
- awt 19y agoI'm just saying there's no reason to panic. There is is an upside as well as a downside to this whole devaluation thing. People on the right AND left have been complaining about the loss of manufacturing jobs for years -- well, now they can have them again -- if that's what they want. I personally wouldn't enjoy working on an assembly line. Hell I don't really like working at all.
