Chinese factories are built to be versatile, and the workers are trained to adapt quickly to new operations, such that in one given day, an assembly line worker might handle one step in an operation to produce portable electric ovens for three hours, DVD players for two hours, antique-looking wall clocks for two hours, and finally Pope Francis statues for three hours. That's ten hours, but they don't get any overtime. The reason they spend so long on the statues is, there's a backorder until April 30th, not May 1st. By February they'll know if they need to keep producing Francis for 2 or 3 hours a day, depending on the updated backorder status. All these products are shipped to Port of Los Angeles, in San Pedro. That's PEE-dro, not PAY-dro. Because if you're not Yugoslavian or Italian then you're a FOREIGNER. The containers are the same, the docks are the same, the Longshoremen are the same, the payoffs and bribes are the same, the trucking companies are the same, the residents are the same and the prejudices are the same, but the Chinese factories change every few hours.
