I want to buy a new washing machine, and cannot find one made in the USA, even though I’m willing to pay 2-3X what a foreign-made one costs.

By all means, people in developing nations should be free to improve their lot in life, but it should not be on the backs of American workers.[/quote]

Two points

* We are in the middle of a multi-decade process where SE Asia and the US will come into relative economic parity courtesy of globalization. You can “they took er jerbs” all day long, but it was inevitable that the global wealth distribution would have occurred through some mechanism. Rest assured, “er jerbs” will come back, if for no other reason than the fact that their shit takes too long to get here.

* If you believe there’s a large untapped market for ‘made in america’ (people such as yourself), you should capitalize on this in some fashion. I think, though, that you’d agree that this is a losing proposition. Thus the situation as it stands right now.

They (and many/most of us on this site) were told that if they studied and worked hard, their lives would be equal to or better than their parents’. That was the meme for generations.

So all this time, it wasn’t the American Dream, it was the American Meme. I like it!

[quote=bsrsharma]I think the whole notion of manned space exploration is wasteful in terms of cost to scientific value ratio. The future will be in unmanned space explorations. [/quote]

That is like saying that the future of asymmetric warfare for the Air Force is unmanned drones.

Oh wait…
