Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 10, 2007

I understand Arlo’s “rant”. But I wonder if he really thinks anyone in the US would want to be employed at $5/hour making Christmas lights— or if there would be enough workers available to take those jobs. Or if Americans would want to pay probably $50 per light string instead of $10 or less, in order for US workers to be paid a decent wage to make them, assuming we somehow did have enough people to take jobs like that. There— that’s MY “rant”, I guess!

Especially now, many, many Americans will pay a bit more for domestic products. And India can duplicate China’s successes in short order – if allowed. It was well underway/planned until this past November.

Arlo could just put the lights away properly. But that’s a crazy idea
