Its called economic growth. The next step in industrial nations is to concentrate on the service industry. Change is not always a bad thing. Let it go and see where it leads us.

Where it leads us is a global equalization of lifestyle. We can stop grumping about those people who subsist on rice and live seven to a room, because soon it will be us.

No one likes the changes as it seems to be killing some of our cities but there doesn't seem to be much we can do about this. I guess going with the flow isn't right, but if no one unites and fights, the battle won't be won.
We try not to support stores that carry big price items that we know come from slave labour but I have to confess to being a Dollar Store addict myself.

I was reading about real estate in Detroit a couple of nights ago...so unreal....people losing their homes because they now have no job.
A foreclosure paradise for those who have money.
I dunno....whatever way I look at it.....I can't agree with Rescue's post that it's simply economic growth......I think that some people have their heads in the sand.

Jobs shift to the cheapest labor markets. It has happened since the beginnings of industrialization, and there's no way to artificially stop the movement of industry to cheaper labor without artificially inflating prices (Tariffs).

Thats true.
But Chinese people and middle easten people here in Australia give the majority of their business to their own respective groups, even if it is more expensive. Ther'es nothing artificial about that.
