Yeah it would be so much better if those people in India and China didn’t work at all and starved to death.
I’m playing the smallest violin..and that violin needs small kids to make it.
I’ve thought the exact same for years! These stupid pompous asses would rather have these factories close and put the people out of work than have them work for whatever they’re being paid. To them, no job, if it pays a low wage, is morally superior to working for what they consider to be “slave wages”.
“it would be so much better if those people in India and China didn’t work at all and starved to death.”
I don’t care much about the political, child-labor, etc., ramifications about this. So what if children are working to help out the family? That was America for centuries, and the children grew up to be decent citizens. Adults worked for relative pittances then, too. Over time, things change — for the better, we hope.
It’s the religious aspect that bothers me. According to missionaries we’ve had in our church, Christian prisoners in Chinese hell holes are forced to manufacture products for the U.S. market. Christmas ornaments was one item I recall at the moment. For that reason, I’m more watchful for “Made in China” tags.
