Some people are just starting to notice how many products are manufactured in China. To the point that it's not practical to just stop buying products from China.

I lump the business decision-makers that got us here -- suffering the ill effects of deceptive manufacturing practices in China -- with the decision-makers that profit from illegal immigration.

"Manufacturing in the US is too expensive" = "Illegals do the jobs Americans won't do"

With a wink-wink nudge-nudge about what is really happening in their businesses.

The manufacturing oversight and standard of living for workers that were important last century in the US, may be deemed valuable again for products and services coming from other countries in this century.

Takes strong people to get past the "Screw everyone else so I can get mine" mentality that motivates many busines decisions.

When Chinese products gather dust on the shelves and Chinese food rots on the docks, the "screw everyone" decison will be to stop importing from China.
