I sense the hand of Merkel!<br /><br />Pascal, the industries that like low wages don't appear to care how low they are though I hesitate to say there's a deliberate seeking out of (near) slave labor opportunities. I saw documentary of a Chinese factory that was making absolute trash Mardi Gras-type plastic beads. Ropes and ropes of them. The workers at the factory had a grim, pointless, tedious working life and could only go into town on Sundays, iirc. No armed guards and it did offer something better than an even grimmer rural life imo. One unambitious young woman somehow got a chance to go study something but she couldn't handle it and came back. So horrible jobs don't just flow from U.S. investors. If they were to say we only deal with realities as we find them, they're not far off.<br /><br />Still, we can be sure that Apple, which does well, will not be sharing any of the profits it makes with its Chinese workforce.<br /><br />Col.

The same ignoring unpleasant realities have permitted many in the West to have become unwitting (or claiming unwitting) cannibals. <br /><br />Statism -- the complete control of all human actions -- becomes more apparent by what the individual grows to accept as normal.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.com
