[A86] Re: Fw: Fwd:Fw: Chinese fiasco
Well, i wouldn't say we're suckers. But basically you and I agree. It's just
that i'm not taking into consideration how much China gets out of the deal.
Regardless if it's more or less than what the USA gets, we do get SOMETHING
be it cheap labor, or whatever. So it's beneficial for us to do business
with them, so the original chain email is stupid. Done. ;-)
