#1 Much of what they sell us winds up in landfills within a year. Meanwhile they bank the money we spent on that trash and lend it back out - to us.

Being even marginally smarter about buying plastic lawn chairs, pool toys and coolers could make a huge difference, but I won't hold my breath...

#2 Comes with exporting jobs to China while they exported the unemployment to the US.

#5 Sweet! Nice sponson work. I assume the catapult is steam powered not electro-magnetic. Orange crazy crane is visible, but no aircraft. Perhaps they are in the large and spacious hanger deck. You do have to admit the Chinese build them pretty.

Edit: under the sponson... I see exhaust marks maybe? Perhaps the Chinese knew enough to built an aux generator set well forward.
