Like where?
- anon-3988 7mo agoThere's this country called China that you guys been offshoring manufacturing to...
- reliabilityguy 7mo agoUnless you are from China, your jurisdiction offshores to China as well.
- runjake 7mo agoLike the places where people welcome deregulation and jobs? Not trying to sound like a jerk but there’s plenty of places in the US where people welcome stuff like coal mines and polluting factories. If the factories have to be somewhere and they consent, then why not there?

- tolerance 7mo agoCan’t help but feel like you’re overestimating the competency of the average voter in these effected areas; a breath after yours—though not necessarily your own—may condemn these people for being undereducated, out of touch with culture or subject to corporate grifters.
- culi 7mo agocorporations taking hold of small local governments and passing laws that benefit them, unbeknownst to the locals living there, is hardly "consent"
- tokenless 7mo agoWell the attitude that puts a full stop (well a question mark) after "NIMBY" says implicity "where the poors live".
- reliabilityguy 7mo agoWell, I find it a bit hypocritical: if those things are so bad, why to forbid manufacturing and not consumption? Otherwise you just pollute a place where people that have no say live.
