[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how much an Etch-a-sketch"should" sell for, or what the deal was with Walmart and Etch a sketch and China.

But I do know that the reason the Chinese can produce things so much more cheaply than we can here in the US is that they pay their workers much less and they don't have to worry about those crazy expensive environmental protection regulations.

They poison THEIR country so we here in the US can have the product much more cheaply.

Works for us, who gives a shit about them and the environment, , right?

Sometimes more than just a profit is at stake. [/quote]

I thought we like to have it both ways. We want to pay low prices for goods but still like to  point a finger at those who manufacturer these items and tell them to stop polluting the environment and exploiting their workers. This is partly how we got to be the economic powerhouse we are but when some other country wants to do it we say we don't like it because now realize their pollution is our pollution too.[/quote]
