So Intel wants to more to VietNam… but maybe not so fast.
AP by Chris Bremmett 5/19/2014
“Two Chinese passenger ships arrived at a Vietnamese port Monday to
evacuate thousands of Chinese workers following deadly rioting last week, officials
said, a dramatic maneuver from Beijing that intensifies pressure on
Hanoi as the two countries jostle over disputed territory in the South
China Sea.
Vung Ang, Viet Nam… was overrun
by an anti-China mob last week. Two Chinese workers were killed and 140
injured in the attack, which also left parts of the facility on fire.
Around 400 other factories around the country were damaged or destroyed
in mob violence, most in industrial parks close to southern Ho Chi Minh
City. Many factories were not Chinese-run but Taiwanese or from
elsewhere in Asia, apparently targeted mistakenly or by gangs intent on
looting.”

Funny that I would read this the same day I return to Costa Rica. I was given 65 days at the airport by some bitch at immigration after she asked for my return ticket and saw that it was for a date just shy of 90 days.
I’ve been coming here for over 10 years. I play by the rules. I leave when I’m supposed to. I get charged more for services than a tico: Gringo Tax.
And now I finally realize that Costa Rica doesn’t want me here AT ALL.
Call me a little slow to catch on, but in 63 days I’m outta here for good.
Costa Rica has finally killed this cow. I’ll spend my money where I feel a tad more welcome. Pura F-ing Vida

lien not lean. Costa Rica needs to develop a home grown cellphone industry, for low end users or something else similar to that. You already have trained folks that worked for Intel who could get that started. Just a thought.

What did you think when the Americans invaded Italy?? Did you like that too??

The only resistance was by the German 10th Army, as the eytyes were too busy soiling themselves when they paused from their crying.

This is akin to the US losing nearly a trillion in GDP.

The reaction from their legislators will be

1 Put a lean on Mel Gibson’s property

2 Cave in where in time this will become a de facto state of China.

So how do you feel about doing business with Japan? ….Germany? Or doesn’t that war matter?
