    This translates into that optical frames and lenses will be rationed in the US next year, because the Chinese will use their production by themselves. So you better buy some more stock and get your repair facilities back into shape.

    That also explains why the on-line opticals are also moving into China.

    Chip, maybe you should move there. I hear they use cash, and hold their health care professionals in high esteem. All you have to do is join the communist Party.
