It was nice being a rich country but nothing lasts forever. Now we're
doomed to mediocrity because our workers have to work for whatever a
Korean or Chinese will work for. Or an illegal alien. It's going to be a
tough adjustment.

More like we are doomed to mediocrity because the jobs that require
little education are going away. And our school system is not as good
as the Korean schools. Korea ranks no 1 in math at the 4th grade
level.

Our workers will not only have to settle for what a Korean will work
for, they will have to settle for less, because they will not be as
educated. Korea also has faster internet speeds than the U.S.
