[Milsurplus] Blood n Guts

[Francesco Ledda]

Cheap labor is the reason for growth in China; as cost go up, China is losing its edge.  Germany is very socialist, but they believe that manufacturing in house is a key value; this is one of the reasons for their success.

There are people that claim to be patriots, and then they buy Chinese crap at harbor freight! Personally, I don't get it. I buy American, even if it costs more! Go USA!!!!!!
