This is an abandoned mine road in PA or nearby.  Due to increased vandalism in the area, the mine is going to cover it and plat trees. I like the road, sad that some just can’t leave others property alone.

think about it....years ago we started off with our products being made in Japan, they grew rich and powerful and technologically superior in very short time ONLY to do what we did, farm it out o lower labor rates...I wonder down the road who will China farm their work out to......it is just a matter of time before that will happen with them....corporates being keyed on the max monetary returns.

I've wondered about this as well, especially due to the difference between Japan, as a capitalist economy, and China, as a communist one.  But already computer parts are often also coming from places like Vietnam.  And also from Thailand, and Costa Rica.  Kinda' surprised that I haven't yet seen anything coming from any nation in Africa.

And reliable electric power as well.

 

But nowadays you can generate that and use wireless and the real problem is you don’t know when the government is going to turn. One palace coup could reverse all your fortunes.

And one thing Corporations do not like is unpredictability.  Safe and steady secures the work and the future.  Despite most being mainly concerned with tomorrow's stock prices.

Africa is being used by China for raw materials.
