so you propose to regulate everything ? I assume that you would be in favor of suing McDonalds right ? If the person is dumb enough to eat there (same thing with tobacco, if you are dumb enough to smoke)... then you deserve both... getting fat and getting cancer... I mean.. dumb and dumber will do dumb things... does that mean we need armies of attorneys and bureaucrats to save them from themselves ? I am definitively NOT in favor of regulation... I hate bureaucrats with passion and btw... "choice" to me is not only "lovely" it is essential. what are the prospects for unskilled labor (and even skilled labor).. well I would say, the price will come down... why ? because there are a lot of poor people in other countries that are willing to work for less than in the Western industrialized nations... the only way I see price of labor firming up is by either a reversal in the growth of population world-wide... or... a tremendous increase in the standard of living of the same population to the point that they would have some sort of "pricing-power" by demanding a better pay-check... two highly unlikely scenarious.... perhaps the religious authorities will reconsider their stance when it comes to birth control in the third world and their fairie-tale theories of heaven and hell -lol ! to that end... how much regulation will it take to stabilize the price of labor ? [or to force manufacturers and entrepreneurs NOT to move out ] well, let's wait and see... meantime... from the investment point of view... SE Asia continues to look good. of course... i could be wrong
