See rural American trailer parks for a similar situation...

Why wouldn't I be called Ken when it's my name you bloated gerbil
stuffer.

You it would seem can't get past the humiliation of being played and
then ****ed over by the longest running troll, on usenet.

If Europe " loves the Mustang " it's because it's cheap.

Guv lives in a dream world. It's not his fault though, dreams are all
they've got left after we took their empire.

Not so many decades ago, the same predictions were made about the
Soviet Union. In Moscow there were BMW dealers, and the Paris fashion
stores, and fancy food stores, and all the rest. But only the elite
could afford any of it. The common people, whose labors supported the
lavish lifestyles of the elite were generally on the verge of
starvation following one failed progrom after another. Look at them
now. When the rural areas start to crave what the urban areas afford
through the labors of the farmers, China will face some major
problems. Like the USSR with it's military might, even the guns could
not hold it together.

China is growing, it's true. They will soon be building their own
jumbo jets in competition with Boeing and Airbus, and with their
workforce, they can still build cheaper.

China, as with most Asian countries, also plans much better for the
future; making plans for where they will be in 50 to 100 years. The US
only plans an average of 5 to 10 years down the road.

The EU is already having problems with staying together. In fact, they
have had problems from the beginning. Many countries signed on
begrudgingly because they feared losing their individual national
identities.

The US has already been on a track of change. The industrial
revolution is the past. Other countries will take over industrial
production. The US has switched to being a service and information
source, and out sources those to countries like India which is now one
of the prime centers for tech support, etc.

Progress means change, and change brings progress. Only time will
reveal where the chips will fall.
