The people who own the companies that assemble these “widgets” understand this very, very well. I believe in capitalism, make no mistake, but this is exploitation in a sense. The people who are being exploited think they are lucky and the people who make these global decisions think they are good business people. They couldn’t care less about America. They have no stake or emotional investment in the US.

You're right, they have no attachment to the USA. They are being global benefactors, doling out a dollar a day to the wretched as they toil 18 hours a day under unsafe working conditions, living in company bunks. When workers die, they are replaced by many in waiting. OSHA standards? Please. Carbon tax? Not likely.

All of these corporations claim that they had to outsource production to these hellholes because their competitors did. It's just business.

The long-term fly in the ointment is that these wretched poor will soon (if not already) decide that they deserve real wages, benefits and cable TV. They will no longer be happy on a dollar a day. They want ten dollars a day, plus insurance. And a vacation. Just like Americans.

While we may be happy with ten dollars a day, no benefits. How about that internet regulation?
