Comparative advantage
This is NOT about price (in dollars) its about the social price.
The fact that China (and other countries) can produce "goods" at a lower price is less about efficiency than it is about the social disadvantage used to produce the lower cost goods.
Conglomerates the world over would love that concept. They care not where the goods come from, as long as they can save a few bucks on millions of products. Thats a few million bucks for them!
They wont use a conscience, so, if these cunts want our money, dey needa obey some simple rules.
But, as ive said, we as a group, are dumb motherfuckers. Mindlessly mooing towards the next iteration of Noo And Improved myPhone.
Conglomerates are like our children, that we let grow into selfish uncontrollable demon spawn.
Time to reign em in. But this time, we need to feel the (financial) pain and stop buying child made t-shirts from Bangladesh etc and blah.
We know what to do, we just dont wanna do it.

It hurts us not to buy from shitholes like China when we could be making way better things with our time.

Yes you can call them transphobes (like Britain, Sweden and France who have also stopped the practice), but yes that does also make you a racist because they are Hispanic

Luckily transphobia trumps racism according to my Oppression Olympics chart so your social credit score should still be intact

If we were guilty of it in the past and you disliked it, shouldn't we be opposed to it in the present?

I listened to this song peaking on acid once. I was 18. Good times

Well it looks like Elizondo gets the chance again to be a pedo groomer Trump supporter!

With Trump running, nearly all Republican senators say no to a presidential bid

He’s right though. China uses its money to build anti satellite missiles. If they were all dirt poor still, Xi would be wearing a pitchfork through his neck instead of a rented tux

And we can buy things from Indonesia or Mexico or whatever other shit hole you’d like to exploit for labor Wonkie. Someone has to roll your cigarettes I guess, right?

This is exactly wrong.
Every person you know can be encouraged to NOT BUY CHINA MADE STUFF. May need to do without an iPhone for a year (or two) but eventually we ALL can do something, if Apple cant sell a China made iPhone to Americans (or Aussies for that matter) they will either move manufacturing, or only sell to the massive (but shrinking) Chinese market. Either way we (as a collective) get what we want.
China will obviously say Bigly Unfair To China, world bullies us!
We say, its not that we dont want you to make our stuff or hate you, its just we want to buy stuff we made.
Takes time, but it also took time for china to become the worlds factory.
Simples.
But we all cant agree on ANYTHING, or suffer a loss of a $2000 iDroid from our pockets.
Go China!
In the next 75 years, one billion Hindus are going to reduce the orientals and the Arabs to ash

Be thankful you’re on that island crocodile Dundee

I met a meth head that said he got his cigarettes from Vietnam.

It's a big world out there.
