about the kids over seas who make the items I buy in stores. How our lifestyle supports their lifestyle but how our lives can't possibly be
latest #13
as close as we'd like to assume.
I think about this a lot when I have an item I really like that couldn't have possibly been made solely by a machine.
It's like you're connected by their contribution for this thing that you could afford to buy that that they could probably care less about.
sometimes actually HAVING work is better for these kids than none at all, they are able to make money (though, by our standards not much)
I saw this thing about Walmart, and they showed the life style the people in China lived in. Dirty apartments buildings. Without proper
appliances. But thats better to them then some hut in the rice patties.
one day their lifestyles will catch up to ours.. and the world will collapse
this is true it probably would
it might just get a whole lot better
Oh this wasn't even about pro/anti outsourcing or anything. I just wonder. Kids like us living entirely different lives in an entirely d
different society connected by the work of their hands.
We live ultra luxurious lives compared to anything we've had in prior generations. Gotta wonder how long it'll last while it sits on the
shoulders on the rest of the world. At some point in order for the whole world to prosper economics has to equalize.
