Bad News For High School Drop Outs

On the plus side this is going to take care of the immigration (illegal) problem right quick.

24 mo ago all I hear was Mexicans will do work that no American would do.

Now that American wages will soon undercut Chinese, that won't be quite the issue.

Send this market up another 5000! Labor costs almost negligible for US multinationals!
