This is simply astounding. It's actually cheaper to manufacture goods in America now than in China? Amazing! I had been feeling pretty glum about the economic outlook of America, but now I feel a little better. Thank you.

I actually liked JD's comment. I think you’re mistaking satire with hypocrisy. I actually liked JD’s comment.

So here we are, busily preparing for the next Super Bowl, and next thing you know, we find out that we don't own the place anymore. Those evil little workers have finally arrived, and they have come to collect their debts. They want to trade some of those little pieces of paper for something more substantial, because, well, those little pieces of paper aren't worth as much as they used to be anymore, and it's only going to get worse. Too many little pieces of paper, not enough goods. Can you imagine such a thing? Workers wanting to be paid 'in kind,' if not in specie, for their work? Outrageous. Intolerable. For 20 years, they were working for what we thought was basically nothing, never living it up like us, never traveling all over the world like us, never getting involved in any conflicts trying to bring democracy to the world like us, never consuming what they produced, and suddenly, they feel like they own the place. I think there ought to be a law to make this illegal. I think foreign workers should be forced to only ever be able to accept little pieces of paper for their work, but never be able to trade those little pieces of paper for anything else. Yes, we need a law. Hillary? Mrs. Clinton? Help, please.
