Friend of mine does computer sales, doesn't do servers anymore no money in it. He's arrangements with firms getting rid of CAD stuff off lease and does very well at it.
As to China instead of listening to our USA political blather news start getting informed via real news, that's via international platforms. Here's our news just reeks of two party propaganda reminiscent of pre-WW II Europe. Yes, China has thieved much intellectual property but then again, America has done the exact same and even worse back in history.
Is China's labor force abused? By who's standard and who makes those standards? Hundred and sixty years ago America fought a Civil War in large part due to slavery, labor force. Of course that after we manufactured The Mexican American War essentially stealing stealing huge swath's of land from Mexico due mainly to Gold and Silver. Then we fight the Civil War over concerns that the "New States" (California mainly) might become slaver states shifting power from the Northeast. Atop all that to this very day black folks and Latino folks are still in large as disadvantage to white folks... Might consider correcting our own domestic misgivings before pointing fingers at other nations misgivings.
For ages and ages government spout's to the American people, "American workers are the best in the word and can compete against any other labor force in the world!"
Absolutely true IMHO but what they never will tell you is the above statement only rings true if said "Other labor force" competes on OUR TERMS.
Aka you'll never here em' saying for example, "American's need change their lifestyles and expectations in significant fashion so as we might compete on China's terms."
That's political suicide at a party level yet the reality historically is many a nation in history has had to take considerable steps backwards to secure a future forwards. Did anyone hear yelling and screaming about the former USSR labor standards when we sat in a cold war? Nope. Did anyone care that USSR Gulag's (Jails) were incredibly brutal in respect to common human decency or prospect human rights? Nope. Why? Well, they didn't compete with us for building our lifestyles, in fact, that all was good for American lifestyles short of proxy war which again most American's are completely daft to.
American history had no problems whatsoever in exporting around the globe via labor force(s) that were treated extraordinarily poorly and yes, in time we've come along way mainly in the last 40-50 years. The bottom line remains however, until Americans come to realize and ACT understanding that whether black, white, latino, this or that we either sink or swim together we will sink.
