Could be or it could just be the same thing in China but in Brazil instead. >_>"

well good for the Brazilians at least and the billionaire.

they can obtain such projects if they bargain at prices much lower compared to the Chinese manufacturers of the apple products. the Chinese are doing a good job now, that they also need to win over.

If they can keep quality/reliability levels the same or better, I'm for it! I'm tired of China taking over manufacturing due to their cheap labor.

If it'll cut off 1-2 days of shipping an item that usually ships from China, I'm all for it!

That will be a good boost for Brazil. I also agree if reliability/quality are the same or better I'm all for it.

Great, one of Soro's Quantum Fund cronies. Wonderful thing.

How did you find that out?

He's been written about extensively for quite some time. Small world I guess.

Gee.... one might think that you don't approve of Soro's or his foundations with such words. I wonder if you know what the man has actually done as a philanthropist and human being, or are you just one whom likes to scoff at those with a liberal agenda in general ? Just curious, not meaning to flame or pick a fight. In fact, I'm neither left or right.. I'm fairly neutral where politics are concerned.


But I should note that I know a thing or two about the man and about the Open Society Institute. And not JUST because I lived in Hungary this past year. (He's a Hungarian Jew, btw)

George funds a great many things, some of which I don't personally agree with and many of which don't appeal to me as good for the US in general. So, you are correct, I don't approve of many of his endeavors. He's free to pursue whatever he wants to, but his ideals collide with my generally Libertarian outlook on things. Often, when reading quotes and quips from George, I get the idea he feels personally convinced that he has been chosen to change the world to fit his personal vision, rather than allowing people to walk on their own, come to their own conclusions, live with the results thereof. State sovereignty ceding globalization policies, the IMF, the IANSA and The American Constitution Society don't generally appeal to me as being conducive to those things here in the US. What do I know though.
