It’s crazy.

They have to bring this stuff to us in ships, which uses up fossil fuels and sends even more CO2 into the atmosphere and goodness knows what other pollutants into the air and the ocean on the way over, while using up the world’s supply of oil.

What’s worse, we even ship stuff over there that they work on and ship back.

And for what?

In ten or twenty years, when China becomes prosperous enough, it will cost a lot to make things there, too.

So there’s not even a permanent benefit to buying things from China that we used to produce here.

It’s just the rich and powerful that want to fill their pockets over the next decade or two, and take the money and run.
