(12,704 posts)10. I watched a video earlier about the unseen China. Reading your post, I am reminded of a comment made
a 50 something woman who had been an accountant but who is now going blind because she is without healthcare or a job, living in a hovel and prays for death. When asked if she ever thought this sort of thing would happen she said she never imagined this would be her future. I look at what is happening in North America, the UK and Europe and I wonder if in the near future living standards will plummet and we will all be as shocked as her.

Here we go again. All of our problems are due to trade with those evil poor foreigners.
