The boss forwarded to me a portion of an article that feature comments of Marc Faber about the US Economy. Who is Marc Faber? Beats me! The only thing I know is that he is presently residing in an Asian country, he knows things and he is popular enough to be quoted.
Anyway, since a lot of Americans are contemplating over the fact that most of their hard earned dollars are playing Houdini, he pointed out where the money has gone vacationing to:
He says that if Americans spend on Wal-MArt, money goes to China.
If spent on gasoline, it goes to the Arabs
If spent on computers it goes to India
If spent on fruits and vegetables it goes to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
If spent on a good car, it goes to German and Japan,
If spent on useless crap it goes to Taiwan.
And the only way to get it back in here is to spend it on prostitues and beer
Of course a lot of people have these negative comments about the statement so in time, he apologized for the error. He says in fact
“American buys a US-branded computer, the money won’t go to
India . The money goes to Taiwan , South Korea , Singapore and Malaysia
which produce the components, and a small amount goes to China , which
assembles the computer. India produces lots of computer software, not
hardware.
Taiwan doesn’t make useless crap anymore. China is still doing it until it
graduates in about 10 years’ time. Taiwan & Hong Kong were at it some 30 years
ago, and Japan some 40 years ago.
Beer is no longer American since Inbev bought over Budweiser, making the
beer Belgian-Brazilian.”
The moral of this article: Buy American Made porn, at least that way, you know that its the US that is benefiting from it.
