[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Christian, and what you wrote is completely contrary to my religion. I believe in helping others, even if there's a cost to me. If it were simple to retrain workers, and cheap, there wouldn't be loads of laid-off, unemployed, partly-employed, underemployed workers whose manufacturing jobs moved overseas.

The price of those cheap socks and other goods is too high for the environment and for the good of our social fabric in this country. Pay more for goods made by ompanies that treat their employees fairly and pay them well enough to live decently. Those crappy socks you love so much were made by workers who barely have enough to eat, have no decent housing, no access to health care, no health insurance, no future. I couldn't wear those things in good conscience.

Go PP! I'm not against free trade at all (I'm an economist). But I am against exploitation of Chinese workers who live in what are basically prison camps (I'm a Christian, too) so that 1st pp can pay 30 cents less for his socks.

Np here....Then what should the Chinese workers do once they are "freed" from the prison camps by the closing down of their exploitative factories? I dont think training in IT of healthcare is an option for THEM.[/quote]
