BROKE ??

There was a post here recently something to the effect "How do you know when you are broke" which received many clever answers -- Here is one from real life:

A new stove has been invented which cuts very dangerous indoor air pollution seven fold -- It has a cost of $21 US dollars -- To be sold in India and many other countries will require installment sales or micro-loans -- Now THAT is POOR!

Their cost of living and standard of living are so much different than ours. I now have to compete in the "GLOBAL MARKET" and can't compete against them. When I put in a proposal for $4500 and it is awarded to some one in India for $525 that is not fair competition. Their work is substandard and when it comes to corrections, they disappear. So if you think I feel sorry for them...NO WAY!!!!!

Well they shouldn't have any problem managing getting the loans....since they control the largest telephone communication system in the world or so it seems....cause every time I answer the phone or call a company to do business with it. Some one from that country is speaking to me
