Why manufacturing won't return to the U.S. - former CEO Motorola
Sadly, the story is basically correct. Not just for the US, but for the entire Western world. We've spent 50+ years exporting jobs, skills and knowledge to China, S.E Asia and India. That sounds fixable - just build a new factory in Texas and make the stuff there. Employ locals, sell to America. Yeah, it don't work like that. Because we've also decimated our internal infrastructure - everything from an educated (and willing) labour force, the entire supply and logistics chain (especially sea vessels), not to mention the severe lack of capital or willing investors available to do so. Try to raise capital to build a billion dollar factory in Florida to make an identical factory in China redundant. The laws of risk/reward and supply and demand dictate that this can only happen over a very extended period of time, and at a very slow pace - somewhat similar to the pace at which we allowed China to but fark us. However, to counter my theory there is one possible reason to justify the spend - China's population is forecast to drop circa 50% in the next 75 years and they don't have any immigration. So they won't have anybody to punch a timecard by 2100. The US on the other hand has a reasonable birth rate due to rampant immigration. If it was only a numbers game, the US is winning on that score. However the US and entire Western population are ageing and as this continues, general demand for consumer products will decline. No doubt there are a host of actuaries, statisticians and accountants doing the long-term math on this entire problem. How long is a piece of string? -

Crime Indian Man Arrested for Fake 90,000 Baht Payment in Pattaya
I remember about 20 years ago in my favourite bar on second road. Four Brits, bookies, who would come over about 6 times a year, and stay for close to two weeks each time. When here they would spend between 50 and 70k each, every night they were here, and that was only in that bar. -

What happened to Rock n Roll
But Roy Orbison was not around at that time, he never arrived until about 1962 and there is no way Fats Domino was anywhere near as good as Roy Orbison. -

USA Women Shouldn't Be Allowed to Vote? Hegseth's Video Sparks Fury!
It is said that when Captain Cook began his Pacific islands exploration that the natives could not understand why there were no white women. They suspected these whiteys were a homosexual race, but couldn't figure out how they reproduced. Maybe some dingbat on the far right will interpret Pete's ideas as part of a far-left gay agenda and run the guy out of town. Actually he'd fit right in as a Congress member, that's a drunkard's job. There is a vid clip out there of former House Speaker John Boehner entertaining his grandchildren in his office, he explains that he spends his days playing with the gee-gaws on his desk and drinking wine. Tongue-in-cheek, of course, but "Grandpa, how come your breath smells weird?" It would be interesting to know at what time of day each takes their first drink, maybe someone could put together a chart. There was a state rep in California some years ago who let slip that his day begins with a cup of coffee. With a shot of brandy in it. Lindsey Graham? Does anybody really think his eyes look like that naturally?
