If we built our homes ,THIS way, we could all, in a matter of months, begin the mass exodus from these boring workplaces, & our MEANINGLESS JOBS, & from these boring colleges, that train us for those MEANINGLESS JOBS, & if anyone thinks that society would be reduced to rubble in no time due to so many MEANINGLESS JOBS not being performed, they need to take a hard look at the Amish. Now there's a MEANINGFUL JOB! Living in a simple society working together for the common welfare. Thank Yuz! ;0)

@KatiushaVN4 True but their copies are leading the world...The western world can't live without their copies and ideas/inventions - No one can compete with them...If they do China will come back with a better copy/idea...I'm in the US and all we do is do shitty talk about business/ideas but never end up doing it..I think it's the government here..We talk more than get results - we're in economic trouble at the moment. We got scolded by China for wasting too much money on military.
