Gee, I wonder how it got that way?? 🙂 I see too much integration was artificially promoted, or forced, after 1960, and it ain’t working out anymore, being there is less money to go around after the meltdown in 2008.
People all over the world….”We want to live our way, and you live your way, so go somewhere else.” The global “cupid” made a big mistake. Look in your kitchen drawer. The spoons forks and knives are in separate compartments. The red ants don’t hang out with the black ants. Birds of a feather, flock together.
Go to the hardware store. The nuts and bolts are separated. Why mix everything together AFTER it was already separated in the beginning of time. Sure it worked out in the USA, all races mixed, but that’s how we STARTED. So it was excepted. The rest of the world got “modernized” to be like the USA but there are problems.
And regarding the screwed up worn out global economy? We have to blame the big corporations. That influence elected officials. They promoted integrated global efficiency and productivity as if our world had to compete with another world. Like Mars versus Earth.
How else could China have a monopoly on production of so many consumer products? WE were told…What ever country can “make those things” cheaper, they get all THAT work. Instead of promoting each country be self reliant and produce their own needs. Opposite of increased productivity and efficiency.
Each country should import only what they NEED to import. All countries would be better off. The way I see it.
PS Don’t forget, big corporations are only out for THEMSELVES. They don’t care about countries. They have been boycotting US labor and US taxes. By duping and bribing representatives.
