I'm an American living abroad and I know a LOT of Canadians. Before any of them ever give me the number one reason to move to the States (and I still haven't heard it from them), they'll give me the top 10 reasons NOT to move to the States.
Your salaries may be lower, but you have universal health care. Add to that the fact that the value of the US dollar isn't much higher than the Canadian dollar anymore. Now add BC bud to the mix and Canadians are happily staying right where they are: on the sofa.
Good luck finding anything with the "Made in the USA" label. I don't remember the last time I saw it. Shoes, clothes, cars, electronics... Been to Walmart lately?
When companies can get cheaper labor with little or no labor or environmental restrictions in foreign countries, then who can blame them for moving? Some say the solution is to remove labor and environmental restrictions in America. I believe that would result in the US becoming just another 3rd World nation.
I figure we should bring back tarriffs. If a country has shitty labor or environmental laws, slap a tarriff on their products to make them just as expensive as their American counterparts. But I'm not an economist, so maybe I'm missing something important.
Here in Korea, players tend to go to internet cafes (pc bangs) where WoW is already installed. They pay an hourly fee for playing there and never have to purchase the box. The Korean WoW website even has a special section devoted to pc bangs.
"Here's your lunch and my machine gun, Billy. If you need to get in touch with me, just fire a few rounds into the air. Now run along and don't be late for the bus."
If the parents sign the contract and the parents pay the phone bills, couldn't the parents claim ownership of the phone? And isn't the confiscation and subsequent search of the data therefore a violation of the parents' privacy?
I'm not a lawyer or anything, but that seems pretty straightforward to me.
Here in Korea, the last two apartments I've lived in have come with 100 megabit internet connections pre-installed. Activate service, plug in the ethernet, and go.
World's fastest, my fat pasty butt.

I did not know that. That's interesting. If I could mod you up, I would.

Wait... so we're getting products and they're getting money? Am I missing something? How do we get that money back?

You're right. The similarity is uncanny.

I've noticed that the width of my ass is directly proportional to the speed of my internet connection. Why do you suppose that is?
