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.

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.

Infrastructure: You need transportation and telecommunications for a modern factory to be competitive.

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.
