There's been a good deal of outrage over Chinese toys of late, after many recalls of dangerous items. This photograph restores a sense of balance to that outrage, some of which was more or less openly racist. How tired to do you have to be to sleep in a factory in the middle of a working day, with machines roaring all around you?
China's profit from manufactures such as these allows them to buy seemingly infinite quantities of American government bonds that in turn permit the US to finance such adventures as the war in Iraq. A new supplemental for $189 billion or so is being ponderously "debated" before the Democrats cave in as usual. This photograph shows one of the hidden costs of their refusal to act.
