But if the cost of living and production is lower over there, then they can have a higher standard of living for less money in our terms. They will still get a good deal, be able to support their families, and we will get a good deal. This claptrap about evil capitalism exploiting the worker is wearing a little thin. There is nothing remotely like western employement rights there now, but that is not so say they will not be attained in time through development. -- Steven Hill It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, The hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning, It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.
