I think you don't know what some US corporations are doing in other
"emerging" countries.


Enlighten us, please.

I am not attempting to enlighted anyone, but this morning, I was in a store
shopping. (This is very rare for me).

I spotted a shrink-wrapped, shadowbox frame, 11x14, of exceptionally high
quality.
I use these types of items in my business, so I looked VERY closely at it. It
was made in Thailand. Now here's the thing . . . it was selling for $ 5.99.
The 8x10 was only $3.99.

So I ask myself, how can something this nice be made, packaged (these are GLASS
and very fragile pieces), transported from the other side of the planet, loaded
onto trucks, delivered, unpacked and placed for sale at $6? How can there be
enough profit for all the parties involved in the process?

I'm guessing that the cost to make them in Thailand must be real low, huh? G

I bought a dozen of each.
