Imagine. back in the good old days, we could have been workers going to work, building things with our own hands just like that in our own country.

 

 

Cost, everything these days boils down to cost. Most of Western society simply costs too much, to be competitive manufactures need to use ' fruit picking' labour.

As long as companies want to pay their workers a fair wage that keeps up with cost of living, we still could.

Those 'fair wages' need to be passed on to the end user. That's why Australia is fkcued, we have no meaningful manufacturing as it's cheaper to import or use cheap manufacturing processes outside of our shores. My Nephew has a unique organic clothing business, everything is made OS, he couldn't turn a dollar using home grown labor, he has to feed his family, he had no choice!

Don,t forget special thanks to, Mr Macro Economic Reform for the destruction of our manufacturing base, our trade unions and the inevitable introduction of the gst to replace the income tax from lost jobs as a result. Appologies for the drift but it still burns eh. Cheers
