yes, before. Just as 100 years ago Europeans were doing them before America overtook.


well you have a point there for sure.
but americans introduced mass production , why did europe take so long to develope , when americans carried industrialization so far so quickly.

you guys had thousands of years to develope but your rich held you back , being stingy and not wanting the common man to have the same luxuries that they did.

american industry was built upon taking a route that was an exact reversal of the way industry was developed in europe.

now the chinese havent done anything but copy and steal
all the technology that america and other countries developed and put into practice.

and china was a dirt poor country until the republicans became the catalyst when the rich in america decided they wanted to become more like the european ruling class that europe had for thousands of years that stagnated europe.

LOL... where did that come from?

having a political party that has robbed its nation blind has nothing to do with their parents.

No. It turns out that many countries can't be helped by free trade. Sometimes their people are so unable to make enough coordinated effort that no opportunities are enough.


that is absolutely amazing.

in america no ones family is really from america they come from everywhere , it was the freedoms and the choices they could make , the ability to study whatever trade they chose , to work in that trade no matter who their parents were or where they came from.

I think the major problem with ability that you speak of is nothing more that the rich and greedy of those nations holding back the things needed for them to become able.

you could take any of these people you speak of and put them in a environment that has the necessary schools and industries and those people could perform as well or better than yourself.
