Classe move to China

Lower Classe now?

It's a global economy now and will become more so as time goes on. Its the natural progression of things. Other than complain, not much choice but to get used to it and adapt. Change is hard.

"We didn't notice or care because we were living better than the rest of the world. "

Used to be the case for sure. We still live better than most of the world, but not all. Chances are others will continue catch and perhaps surpass us as well.

There have never been any guarantees though. Things change but individuals that are motivated and have ability will continue to find a way, assuming they are able to afford an education.....

TO bad nobody has ever been able to find a cure for human greed. Things might be different.......

FWIW, my dog did an optional overnight at a vets recently for treatment for a minor infection and dehydration.

Cost: almost $400. For a dog. O love my dog, but still, for a DOG!

To me this was a clear indicator of how out of whack this countries priorities and social services delivery capabilities are.

Of course, high end audio affectionados like us know a lot from exprience about the economic perils of priorities that are perhaps a bit out of sync with those of the general public, right?

"China sells us tangible goods"

Bingo.

And also importantly goods that more can afford. For better or for worse, however they do it.

Greed will catch up with China as it does to all eventually. Hopefully it will not have finished the US off beforehand already.

Well, at least with all this new man made input into global warming I may no longer need to head south to escape the cold weather when I retire.....

Plenty of blame to go around......

Lazy people, get up off your butts and do something.

Overachieving, greedy elitists, have some compassion for those who need it.
