They would be making closer to 3000 every two months instead of 300. It wouldn't be a utopia, but it'd be a lot better than if we hadn't bled Latin America dry

They would be making closer to 3000 every two months instead of 300. It wouldn't be a utopia, but it'd be a lot better than if we hadn't bled Latin America dry for our benefit.
My point is that a factory moving overseas isn't some platonic transaction. There is a history and a context to why labor is so cheap and regulations are so lax.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoHow, in your world, would they be making closer to 3000 every two months? [Edit: Forming unions doesn't automatically lead to rising wages - or if it does, it may do so at the price of fewer jobs. It isn't automatically going to lead to all the subsistence farmers getting good-paying factory jobs.] > There is a history and a context to why labor is so cheap and regulations are so lax. In Latin America, perhaps. In China? Korea, back in the day? Vietnam?
