Whats really funny about shifting mfg from china to other SE asia countries is that no one actually looked at the size of the labor pool before doing so, so now there are labor shortages in vietnam/cambodia/indo/mylasia etc because we've already hit the cheap labor pool cap and costs are starting to rise there due to competition, so its a cluster of rapidly rising labor costs right after investing in facilities in low cost countries.

To respond to this, companies are starting to look at manufacturing in africa as it has a potentially large untapped labor pool they can not pay much for, but now the whole consumer goods supply chain is so entrenched in SE asia that moving mfg to Africa without moving the whole drat chain over (lol) will have big impacts on lead times and transportation costs, so thats a wash too.

Its pretty funny in a really hosed way.

They're doing the German food thing this week so I bought a little more stuff than I normally would (the pickles are great), but I don't buy meat and I don't buy convenience foods for the most part. I was shocked it came out to that much.

nah actually india is insanely competitive right now and all my vendors and my internal company has massive shortages

indian business culture is kind of fun for recruiting - they have a 90 day notice period so what they do is use that 90 day period to shop your offer around and then on day 89 they take the highest bidder

it gets completely out of hand for anything beyond entry level IT people

covid accelerated this as well, the cost of labor in india has doubled since the start of the pandemic and looks to be headed higher as it goes on

Just did a refuge run with my family from Los Angeles to upstate NY. Wife and baby flew when the sight unseen apartment cleared. We shipped the car to arrive when she did so she wouldn't be stranded in rural America. I took a Uhaul and drove. About $18,000 all said and done. It would have been significantly cheaper to burn all my material objects and rebuy them upon arrival but I hosed up and rescued my dog. I would commit crime to fulfil our promise to her that "we are her forever family".

Life seems less doomery up close and at 75mph, but lmao there's shortages in the gas stations east of the Rockies and west of the great lakes. Being in the center of empire REALLY counts.

Oh right, I should check in the local lds church. Penciling that in between updating Medicaid transference and NY State ID registration.

Good luck adjusting to the winters. Take up snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, or prepare to go insane.

As Mr. Xi clamps down on capital, his popularity among the party’s original base, the working class and rural poor, appears to be growing, thanks to his initiatives to fight corruption and poverty.

In Xingguo, a southern county where rocky land makes large-scale farming difficult, Mr. Xi’s portrait hangs on the walls of some residents’ living rooms, space once reserved for pictures of Mao.

Local residents credit Mr. Xi’s targeted approach to poverty alleviation, which includes assigning local officials to affected households.

“Previous leaders also talked about helping the poor,” a resident surnamed Zhong told a visiting Journal reporter in the spring of 2020. “But he really cares about us.”

Lmao the US doesn’t have policy goals or long term plans beyond rich people high scores go up.

Any policy is purely reactive, half assed, and mostly used to cover for more high score padding
