Thread Name: BS: I think the Chinese are eating my lunch
Subject: RE: BS: I think the Chinese are eating my lunch
Well, leftydee, I'm on that bandwagon. Last year I paid $1.85 each for acrylic beer 'glasses' for our beer festival (made in US) This year I'm getting them from China at 35 cents apiece. I buy 10,000 at a time ...

It's an irony of free trade that the US pushed it during the 1980s because it was positioned to be the big winner, and is now about to be at the receiving end of a 'Commies-learn-quick' economic shafting.
