| rmah | bleeding heart liberal nutcases would rather those people "live traditionally" in squalor and misery than work in factories crunge: haha |
| hueblur | no, I just think there should be labour protection written in trade agreements. I'm centrist. |
| rmah | hueblur: that's idiotic |
| hueblur | truly. no it isn't. |
| rmah | creating any law that isn't going to be followed by the vast majority is idiotic |
| hueblur | be happy I'm not going to tarrif it. you know what? hellsbells. I just might. Trade agreement schmade agreement -- you will have to pay a tarrif on the economic gradient you enjoy to outsource to countries with sub-par human standards. a living wage can be set without bleeding from one's heart. |
| rmah | hueblur: they get paid BETTER than most people in the area usually far better |
| hueblur | True, until wages go up and the factory moves. |
| rmah | people move hundreds of miles, wait for months, endure hardship and risk to get those "shitty" jobs |
| hueblur | exactly my point. And then little bobby has to walk 50 extra miles a day because the factory fouled the water nearby. there is a middleground. |
| rmah | so? |
| hueblur | So? So?! |
