>That US PCB manufacturer is also sending his kid to school, that's great. but chinese schools are way cheaper than US schools so if somebody asked me to give up $100 to educate 100 chinese kids or half a US kids for x amount of time I would have to say the chinese on utilitarian principle since I can hardly justify that a US person is worth 100x a chinese person. >paying state and federal taxes a lot of which is going to welfare i.e. hands out for people not doing anything productive, which again is a very bad way to spend money. >SS, healthcare for employees, same arguments ditto >and probably allot for hazardous waste service. This is great. However, china is kinda too poor to have good hazardous waste removal. Thus money spent on china makes it richer and more likely to have hazardous waste, thus more likely that less people will be exposed to hazardous waste. >What makes you think the Chinese PCB manufacturer is not in the 1%; just assumption the US manufacturer is. because US is a wealthier country therefore all else being equal the probability of the US manufacturer being rich is higher than the same prob. for the chinese Nothing personal to the americans of course. It's not their fault either than a bowl of noodles in US is 10x the price of the same thing in china so an american has to make way more money than a chinese to survive but i like to spend the least amount of money possible.
