"you lot fail to compete"?
Explain that one.
In a global marketplace it is very dangerous to keep costs that high. Just look at the chinese and the inroads they have made recently. The same goes for most Asian countries, soon to be followed by Viet-Nam.
It takes time , but the trend lines are here.
"you lot fail to compete"?
Explain that one.
I will.
The dollar has fallen something like 100% towards the leading scandinavivian currency, the Swedish Krona (SEK) since 2001.
While the American economy is facing a slowdown, Sweden and the rest of the Scandinavian economies will reach levels as not dreamt of before in the the history of mankind.
Imagine everyone having two homes + the SUV.
That's us.
- The reason I wish to market this concept of society is not that I oppose traditional conservatism and capitalism. The reason, sooner, is that the Scandinavian countries of today is the best example of healthy capitalism and societal organization existing in this world of today!
Long live PROSPERITY!
My compatriot must have imbibed a little too much of those special drinks that usually accompany our Christmas meal.
