Global Economy in My Mailbox

The notion of a global economy does not usually protrude on my life above the level of background noise. Today, however, I received a postcard that made me notice just how small our world has become. A Korean company (Temco, if you are curious) actually sent a postcard from Korea to my PO box in Missouri, in the hopes that I would buy business cards from them. They claim to be able to deliver in five days, to my door.

I don’t know anything about this company but it is startling that they think it makes good economic sense to do bulk mail marketing to US companies from Korea. I wish them luck!
