Isn't the "cheap labour" thing just how all mainstream manufacturing works? We've probably all been buying tat from China and Taiwan for years. They do have an import tax in the EU/UK, but it's still much cheaper to pay a Chinaman $1 a day to build them, transport them and pay the taxes when it gets here, than it is to build it in a first-world country where people are paid £7/$10 an hour along with all the health and safety, environmental compliance, holiday pay, all the red tape etc. that us first worlders are used to! Hasn't it always been like this?

I'm split on the Trump and big business argument. People say that Trump is already successful so doesn't have to answer to corporate political sponsors, which I believe, but surely since he is "big business" himself, he's not gonna do anything to make himself pay more taxes etc, is he?

If he wins, I think it will be quite interesting to see how he goes about it. For all his faults, he is quite a bolshy character, a do-er rather than just a talker and I'm sure he's had more dealings with the "real world" than most "career politicians" have, since he's a business man I'm sure he'll have ideas on ways to create jobs too...

It's kinda the opposite for high ticket items too, luxury goods made in the US and in Europe seem to have a great image over there, and with the amount of wealthy people that have appeared in China, it's now a popular market for them...

I'm surprised they'd risk losing one of their sex slaves.

It is getting crazy with the spambots, definitely. Must be that time of year or something.

Why do people keep using spambots in this day and age?

Who's ever said to themselves, "That Nigerian prince needs my help! I don't need 3 million dollars and I sure could use a larger penis and hot young amateur milfs xxx" in the past couple of years?
