Money is a proxy for energy. Everything I buy has to fit into my budget. I pay for labour, I pay for energy and o pay for materials. Energy is generally a fixed price as are materials. But labour varies by country. In ... Was it Malaysia? They outlawed prostitution and sentence for getting caught was forced labour in clothing factories. They make less making our t-shirts then they did in one hour of fucking tourists. We made them do that because we wanted cheep workers. How many people on welfare in Canada? How many of them have hands and a brain? They could make clothes here in far better working conditions and actually be productive humans. But we have no entry level jobs on Canada because we outsourced then to poor nations.
