Treating people like garbage, is the only reason we can’t compete with China’s labor costs. People are cheaper than machines, even the most common machines. Want a bar loader or an auto-saw? Some guy will do it for 1/5 the cost, 12 hour shifts for 2 weeks straight. Those items are only a few thousand US dollars mind you. They sleep on site so no problem with commuting. They get 5 days off but travelling back home takes 2.5 days so why bother. Factory owners don’t pay for the land up front. You just slip the mayor/local govt a portion of your earnings. So the attitude towards animals over there is not surprising. Fuck those people.
