Reply #2: They laughed at me.

[Rosemary2205]

20 years ago when the college people thought it was just great to close all the factories and get cheaper labor and bigger dividends I tried to tell them they were helping China be the next superpower. I was a laughing stock and told we lazy blue collar people need to suck it up and go back to college.

Now, almost every day I read on this very website a college person struggling to live at my level because of what the college people before them did regarding decent jobs. I feel bad for them. I really do. I also welcome them to the club.

but I'll say it again. China is the next superpower. I used to think it would be in the next generation's lifetime. I'm over 50 and I now think it will no doubt be in my lifetime.
