Sesh,
Being your usual illiterate self uses pics to describe things. Love it..
Anyway, for all the doom and gloom, there is opportunity, the great engine of capitalism. There is all kinds of money to be made in energy (alt. sources), manufacturing and the new industries that crop up with new problems. The problem isn't so much existing industries (although there are some things of concern), but inventing and dominating new ones. I firmly believe we will figure them out as the century progresses. As for China being the big bad bully, there is also Russia. It's a balancing act, they cannot succeed if we fail, and vice versa, it's that simple. There is too much money in the balance.
My bigger concern closer to where I live is the BLATANT intellectual property bullshit going on (mine being the music industry) that, combined with similar industries, is eroding one of our chief assests we sell to the world: Our Ideas. Whether it's the label's stuff being burned like there is no tomorrow, or a set of golf clubs being knocked off left and right, it's that kind of bullshit that is bleeding this economy and will only continue to do get worse in more industries. Cases will be harder to file and win, as there is precendent for all kinds of shit to fly which never has. That is going to eat at more and more jobs as the bottom lines get bled.
Who benefits? China..
