Then I would like to know why Wal-Mart's price on DVD/CD players (Apex) is still $79 US. Are they dicking these small towners around because there's no competition.

Jobs don't take much space in containers. Scrap steel doesn't containerize very well. That leaves a healthy economy. Have you really looked at the Chineese economy? They need a *lot* more containers.

Sure, but wheat is exported in bulk carriers (with bribe automobiles carefully wrapped up inside the wheat), or so I've heard.

Huge numbers of loaves of bread.
Okay, not literally (at least not that I know of), but it seems I just heard (from Clark Howard, and he would NEVER lie...) that the USA exports large quantities of food to China as well as to other countries.

.Paint, for example ;-)
Used Car Tires is another: People pay here to get their tires taken away, the Chinese pay to get the worn tires - as long as they are round and hold air, they are Fine!
Scrap Metal, Plastics, and whatever other Junk it does not pay to recycle here (or costs too much in disposal tax).
Off it goes.

OTOH, the factories supply room and board for their staff. And most are making *way* more than they would be in agriculture.
