| My lil friend | 04-28-2012 06:57 AM | The reason it is cheaper to make many products in China and other VERY poor countries is that labor costs them almost nothing. The workers live so far below the poverty line that we cannt even see them. They are willing to work for literally pennys an hour because jobs are so hard to find,because there are so many people per sq mile.
Also there are next to NO regulations for quality control and the ones that they do have are only followed when the inspector shows up.
I have become an avid label reader,not just the ingredients of a product. It is impossible to avoid "made in" not the USA but with a little effort you can keep it down some.
The government in many of these countries have no value of life. Its all for me and non for the little guy. So very sad! |
