i'm not saying it's good or bad, but if this doesn't happen this task will be totaly outsourced overseas, but then again if that happens it will be $200 pc's
And if we sent all production overseas and brought in cheap immigrant labor to do everything, think of how cheap everything could be. Of course 10 cents might as well be 10,000 dollars if no Americans have any jobs and can't make any money. And if you think the idea of an American nobility living high on the hog with immigrant serfs doing all the work, I suggest reading some Byzantine history. Let's just say that Hagia Sophia didn't always have those minarets out front and the canons that smashed Istambul's walls was simply the end-game of a much longer process that bears an eerie resemblance to modern attitudes toward cheap immigrant labor.
Excellent analogy.
The Byzantines outsourced their sea going trade to the Venetians. Result ? The Fourth Crusade and the sack of Constantinople by these same Venetians.
