Re: Sold American!
The indentured servant will eventually become more savvy and demand higher wages.
But if people smarter than me are correct, computers and 3d printers are going to displace so many workers there won't be enough jobs. Of course right now there are not enough workers. We need more people every day.

Re: Sold American!
"..The indentured servant will eventually become more savvy and demand higher wages."
Very good point.... I work in engineering and I was in China this past summer and their middle class is booming...particularly anyone who is reasonably educated....such as engineers, tekkies, management, etc. Its not uncommon for this group to see double digit raises every year due to their economy. The group that is not getting this advantage is the uneducated 'labor' group...at least not yet, but the push for better wages etc is constant there. All of this means that their prices go up every year relative to anything that is outsourced there....so the clock is ticking. So apparently 'paradise found....is also paradise lost' when it comes to cheap labor that eventually brings wealth to those who create it. Coley

Re: Sold American!
My uncle works in aerospace. He spent a lot of time In China over the last ten years.
I asked him this summer about the China project and he said they had aborted the whole thing, because the quality VS cost didn't compute for them. A bit of trivia that might surprise you about us hillbillys. Arkansas' #1 export is aerospace.

Re: Sold American!
Agriculture being our largest industry, chickens are a big part of that.
Cotton is no longer king. Arkansas produces about half the rice in the united states.
