Industria Argentina , Is There Anything That Doesnt Break?

IMHO, the US, although still very rich, is openly in an enormous and irreversible decadence.

Like the Foxconn employees who must really enjoy their new life in a factory: https://startpage.co... commit suicide

What? Are you claiming that they were better off before? Like back in 1958-62, when 42 MILLION Chinese starved to death? 42 million Matias, starved to death at a rate of 10 million per year for 4 years. How many people live in Argentina today? That should give you an idea of scale.

in 1990 China represented 0% (ZERO) of the world's middle class.
in 2012 China represented 10% of the world's middle class. Today's chinese middle class is larger than the entire population of the US. It is expected that by 2030, the Chinese middle class will be bigger than the US and European middle classes put together. And think that there are chinese people now in their 30s who remember when their country had no middle class at all.

What I am claiming is that jobs where workplaces had certain standards (safety etc.), workers had certain rights, and income allowed the employees to live the american dream have been replaced by jobs where the employees have almost no rights, earn little money and work under terrible conditions so we can buy a blender for only $26 at Walmart.

42 million Matias

Huh?

It is funny how the whole developed world begins to worry about the working conditions in China and elsewhere in the developing world, but only after the factories began to be moved there. Yes, really heart warming.

The reality is that the work conditions there might not be up to US or Germany standards, but are much better than any alternative that these Chinese workers had during the time when none of you gave a damn.

Huh?

The Chinese have cloned you ...

Obviously you do not seem to care about the working conditions, even after the jobs have been moved there.

Why do you say that? What makes you think I did not "give a damn" before?

How NOT to design an extension board.

Ah, there is a simple explanation to this - by accident they gave you the arsonist model. B)
