Who's to blame

[stephenmeddings]

Joe Smith started the day early having set his alarm clock (MADE IN JAPAN) for 6am. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA) was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG). He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA). After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA) he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) and continued his search for a good paying australian JOB. At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day, Joe decided to relax for a while. He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine (MADE IN FRANCE) and turned on his TV (MADE IN INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying job in Australia.....

Hmm,

I'm all for economic rationalism, do we really want to see aussies making low value manufactures? And would you then be willing to pay twice the price for them? I think not my friend.

On the other hand, I just spent 46minutes on the phone to Sanjeev in the Delhi call centre trying to cancel a Myercard for which i didnt even agree to apply for! The line was terrible, the bloke couldnt understand english but funniest of all were his attempts -in an indian accent - at aussie slang such. He must have said "no worries" 50 times!

You'd want it to be saving you a hell of a lot of money.................................
