It is they who have suffered the brunt of the crazy, over-blown
environmental regulations. That smell you and I haughtily disdained
was the smell of money to them and their families.

Right, cost of labor has nothing to do with losing all those blue-collar
jobs. And it probably really was environmental regulations that led to
the average American hourly labor rate of $18 plus benefits versus about
$1.50 in China.

Of course, there are many facets to the problem -- wages being one of
them.

Such as the fact that dealing with environmental regulations requires
hundreds of people, not merely making $18 an hour, but six figures, just to
deal with paperwork before a single iota of work gets done?


But that's a different thread.

Not really!
