Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Yes, I can.
Wow, that's very cool. That would make you one of maybe a tiny handful of people here on po.com. How come we haven't seen you posting more on the Planning Forum? We could use your expertise. I can actually only think of maybe three other people here who can make your claim (oowolf; the guy who lives in the forests of Borneo whose name I can remember; and the guy who lives in Norway or Finland or something like that who is pictured in a teepee/yurt/lean-to in "Peakoil.com is you" (sorry, can't remember his name either).
Please post more about your skills and abilities so we can learn from you! _________________ "...powerdown so soft and fluffy you'll think you're living in a pillow." - jboogy

The main reason is that I am living in a tropical climate, whereas most of the posters here are living in a colder climate. So their problems are different.

Short on Labor, Farmers in U.S. Shift to Mexico
...A sense of crisis prevails among American farmers who rely on immigrant laborers, more so since immigration legislation in the United States Senate failed in June and the authorities announced a crackdown on employers of illegal immigrants. An increasing number of farmers have been testing the alternative of raising crops across the border where there is a stable labor supply, growers and lawmakers in the United States and Mexico said...
Nowhere is immigration policy more keenly felt than in the Imperial Valley. Here at the Mid-Winter Fairgrounds, we're just a few miles from Mexico. The people who have picked the crops in this agricultural bastion have long come from Mexico.
Over the past ten or so years, security at the border has been beefed-up. The one-time ability of Mexican workers to cross easily into the United States, and then return home, is a thing of the past. Meanwhile, emotional disagreements over illegal immigration and immigrant labor has prevented Congress from coming to any agreement about who should be allowed to work in the States and become citizens. _________________ "I'm 100% sure that unsustainable conspicuous consumption of natural basic resources will eventually lead to a proverbial hell on earth for those people who get stuck with the mismanagement mess of mankind not being stewards of the environment!"

This is also another reason to be against the war on drugs. We have lots of people spending lots of time in jail. A large majority of these people's only crime was selling/using drugs. If drugs were legal we could just let them out which in turn would add to our labor force.
Why are we locking up our own labor and then turning right around and importing labor to replace them? Please see
