Brick and Mortar Big Time. Very soon you could see her in your (upscale) neighbourhood.

Let's see if finally a Caribbean investor will have products made in the Caribbean rather than made in China

Can the Caribbean people execute like the Chinese???
Look, I was in manufacturing and most of it was done Mexico until the Chinese eat their lunch and dinner!

Her products will be high end thus difficult to not be profitable. Heck she could build a factory from scratch in Bim get pros to train the workforce and still make profit. That would take a lot of bravery but that's something she has shown she possesses

Why blame Mexico? The America capitalists with the help of the Republicans first killed union jobs which helped to create the American middle-class. They first move their jobs to non-unionized Red States, then they moved to Mexico, but Mexico could not compete with the low production cost of China and other South Asian countries.

The poorest and less educated Mexicans moved North to do primarily farm labour. The unionized more educated and lower middle-class Mexicans demanded more for their labour and the North American capitalist mover further off-shore to get cheaper labour.

China used that opportunity to steal technology and developed its own manufacturing capabilities while sending us the cheap product we crave.

You are correct with everything you stated, but the bottom line is the the Chinese are ruthless! In the the end, it’s up to Rhi Rhi.

Rihanna better be careful not to overextend herself. Brick and Mortar is not a wise investment at this moment.
