The exchange rates are pure slavery. How the hell does south east asia, who grow and manufacture, have exchange rates worth pennies to countries who produce practically nothing in the west.
Asians cant directly blame the west either because it is their own central banks sopping up the inflow of foreign money. Asians were stupid not to own gold.
Governments constantly preach how a strong baht is bad too. As if its an honor to produce an ipad to give away for a fraction of the price.
And the west will be stupid not to own gold when their debt bubbles blow up.
Something will snap one day.
