They don’t share a border with a country with cheap labor and basically a failed state in the northern regions where you can just throw up a factory and truck the finished goods a few kilometers back over the border. When that is too much then just import the cheap labor and keep them in a state where they are too scared to report labor violations.
If we could figure out a way to equally exploit the Canadians we’d be set for generations.
- Jensson 4y ago> They don’t share a border with a country with cheap labor Poland has been used for cheap labor ever since the fall of Soviet. Only difference is that Poland got a lot less cheap over the years, while Mexico seems to never stop being poor.
- jotm 4y agoRomania, Bulgaria (and soon likely Ukraine) are the Mexico of the EU. It's actually beneficial to the workers - 6 months at basically ~1500 Euros saved per month = 9000 Euros. 5-10 years of these "deployments" and you buy a nice house. But yeah, there's plenty of labour to feed smarter countries' industrial machines. I say "smarter" because the governments of RO/BG are absolute shite at improving conditions for startups/small business - you know, the things that become big business and bring in money, keep workers, etc given the chance and time. DE/NL/SE/etc know how countries become "developed".
