Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[skono4]

More and more of our merchandise is going to be manufactured and transported from the other side of the world, as far away from lawyers and unions as possible. Whatever the increase in fuel costs is more than offset by the savings in wages, benefits, worker's comp insurance, labor law compliance, litigation and taxes. Let's face it. You can scour the globe for the lowest price and lowest standards and cough up the extra few buck per ton to account for fuel. Demand for crude oil, trucking and railroads is only going up unless there is some kind of global recession or we stop buying cheap crap from Walmart.
