Nothing is said about the unemployed. We are talking about the employed......in foreign countries.
"We pay the China fab average 3c per chip to manufacture them.
We pay the Malaysian vendor to package it (+2c)
We sell the finished chip back to Taiwan and China for 20c."
So the Chinese chip maker employee makes what....3$ a day..2$???? $1.00... how much??? And produces how many chips a day? The packager gets 2 cents. Total cost is 5 cents.
And then there is a .15 cent markup on each chip sent back to taiwan..... so the charge of $320 worth of chips includes the markup of .15 or 75%. So there is a 75% markup earned by the subsidiary that is undoubtedly owned by HP or it's counterpart. And then HP adds another $125
markup....so all the markup is post production if I read your post #132 correctly.
Same goes for manufacturing job by wal mart. all the markup and profit is post production. The very people who make those items cannot afford to buy them even in their own country, so they are exported, and that is providing good jobs?
What do you do for a living, if I may ask?
Oh! Well then! So you aren't mad at WalMart specifically, you are mad at the Chinese people that take home meager wages?

There are a number of countries in which bottom level employees have an avg earnings per day of $3; these people can live on that and they choose to work those jobs. Would it make you happier if they didn't work, didn't have the $3 per day to live on and, consequently, starved? I don't think the ex-workers'd be angry about not having a PC.
