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?

Imho, the rats will always find a place to hide. They will take their profits and hide. Somewhere on a pristine sandy beach with a private security force.

Both ends of the spectrum kill creativity and entrepreneurship - the wild cowboy capitalist and the clueless communist. They both want to control and they both think their way is best with no collaboration. The labels mean nothing. Capitalist and communist merge into a kind of fascist blob.
