just to point this out: the only way many people can BE rich is by exploiting workers...either in their own nation or overseas, heck USA MNC's have what are essentially workhouses in most developing nations, worse yet in 3rd world nations too.

but you Yanks dont care, so long as you get cheap shitty products that you dont need, sadly video games may well be among those that are made this way.

think of it like this, for every dollar less you pay for a shirt you buy at Primark, 500 or so kids must live in poverty in other countries.

capitalists are the slave drivers of the modern world.

So Google's (and many other Tech companies) well paying jobs with excellent benefits are "screwing" their employees?

If you go and actually talk with many of these "Exploited" workers in third world countries you would find that they desperately want to work in these "Low Wage" positions because of how well paying they are. While $1 to $2 per hour seems like slave wages to those of us who live in the western world, many of these individuals would earn (roughly) $1 to $2 per day if it wasn’t for these industrialists. On top of that, these wages cycle through the local economy and increase the standard of living of everyone; and you can see this effect in China and India today (compared to what they were several years ago) and you can see the end result of this "Exploitation" in Japan and South Korea.

 

If your employer is not giving you a fair wage find another job, and if no employer will pay you the wage you desire to do work they believe you’re capable of start a business and make the money for yourself; and if you can’t find someone to pay you what you desire regardless of whether you’re an employee or an entrepreneur, maybe your skills just aren’t that valuable.


so, exploitation is okay if people have no other choice because you keep those nations in debt and oppressed?

seriously, that kind of justification is so pathetic, all it does is show how capitalists are a bunch of self righteous scum who would gladly sell the rest of the world into slavery to get an extra car.
