> The problem is that first world labor is totally overpriced and their lifestyle is simply unsustainable If first world labor is living an extravagant lifestyle how much would you suggest dialing it down to? Should it be totally equivalent to the state of Chinese or Indian labor today? The accusations of unsustainable lifestyle and over valued contributions can easily be hurled in the other direction. From a standpoint of pure self interest this should be concerning - by definition numbers are on labors side. I am a very libertarian person and I acknowledge that the low prices of my daily living are in part due to the exploitation of others. This is unacceptable morally and I change my spending habits to compensate, despite it not being in my best financial interests.
