Fine. So what is you advice for American workers? How can they compete with the Chinese and Indian workers who have less living expenses?

You have convinced me—the situation is hopeless. Hence my advice to American workers is to climb the nearest mountain, bridge, or tall building and jump off.

Not really.

If the problem is living expenses that are too high, then the answer is simple: reduce your expenses.

Interesting. But in order to make expenses comparable to Chinese or Indian, the American worker would have either to move to China or India or to live on less than workers in these countries as housing/food/transportation/medical care is more expensive in USA.

Do you think it is possible?
